Fakaalofa lahi atu! ‘Faliki e tau momoui he tau atuhau ke he Vagahau Niue’ which in English translates to, “Lay the foundations - give rise to Vagahau Niue for generations".
The episode of our podcast series - which was first released for Niue Language Week 2020 - features our very own Niue scholars, Postdoc research fellow Dr Jess Pasisi and Corianton Poimatangi who are, in their work, centering Niue knowledges, building research communities and searching for 'Niue Happiness'.
"We grew up in ways that are still very intimately tied to what it means to be a Niue person. Ultimately what we are doing is caring for our culture, that is the key to Niue people doing Niue research".
