    In order to get to Nuku Hiva, I took the Caledonien from Tahiti, a ship that does not exist anymore. At the time, the ship that came to Nuku Hiva to bring packages and the mail were the Tapporo and Caohanui. The people there are lovely and I have kept many wonderful memories from my trip there over 50 years ago.

    I got this fascination with Polynesia (from Hawaii, easter Island to New Zealand) whilst reading Thor Heyerdahls "Fatu Hiva, Back to Nature". I admire their navigating skills; it's amazing how they ventured out from their place of origine and reached new islands.... Keeping their way of life, bringing plants, fruit, animals to start over.

    Why I love this clip is because the name of my island in Fiji which is Moturiki can be seen in the name Tuamotu nd its underworld called Turikiriki(source Polynesian dictionary) .It resembles the name Tua-"motu" nd its underworld "Turikiriki "..if you put the "motu" nd Turiki-"riki" together, it will say Moturiki..And the tatoo(3 concentric circles)he explains which depicts their identity,is also encrypted on a big stone in Uluibau Moturiki Fiji..
    The name Motu can be found all through out the Pacific Islands in different names add on to it..like Motu Kane (Hawaii),Motu iti;Motu nui(Marquesas),Motu Tapu(Tahiti),Tuamotu Islands ,Motuliki(Tonga),Moturiki (Lomaiviti,Fiji),Temotu(Solomon Islands),Motu people (PNG),Te motu ,Moturiki (NZ)..Motusa(Rotuma)..ra koi Motu,ra koi riki (Mamanuca,Fiji).

    The first aspect of culture is language. The original indigenous inhabitants of the Polynesian islands did not speak French. If the people truly want sovereignty, they have to speak purely in their own language and dialects, only using French, Or English, to communicate with outsiders..... I hope it is this way when I visit. I’ve already been to Raton go, and the Fuji and islands. Both are similar but quite different. The thing I like about Rarotonga, is they have their sovereignty.

      Ryk Son..take that Afrocentric fake out of Polynesia nd the Pacific islanders!!. Because even our Ancestors were the first settlers of Africa..Who settled your coastal areas like Tanzania Morocco nd South Africa. Those places which showed homo sapiens, were Pacific islands giant ocean seafarers...They were the ones who built the Egyptian pyramids nd the Big Concentric circles in Mauritania called the Eye of Sahara..Concentric circles means the beginning or origin of all living things. Which you can see tatooed on the men in the video above.And also encrypted on stones in Fiji,Hawaii,PNG,Australia nd other areas of the Pacific..Scientists had been mistaken by those archaic humans nd homo sapiens to be Africans..They dont know that they were Pre flood(Lemurian) Fijians..The owners of Sau(Hau) nd Mana in the Pacific..Because their first Progenitor was rescued by God Himself from the pre flood earth into this world..You guys have been riding on our identities for too long..Its about time to get off that sacred lineage now..So, bit it..

    • @BillyJonesN5EVD
      @BillyJonesN5EVD 5 лет назад +5

      The swastika (as a character 卐 or 卍) is a geometrical figure and an ancient religious icon in the cultures of Eurasia, used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions. In the Western world, it was a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck until the 1930s, when it became a feature of Nazi symbolism as an emblem of Aryan identity and, as a result, it was stigmatized by its association with ideas of racism and antisemitism.

    Interesting, Polynesians always had lands that indigenous peoples inhabited. Polynesia is also the furthest point away from Jerusalem. What is sickening is how catholics tried to claim Christianity as their own religion and invaded everyone's land. The gospel is for all peoples of the earth. To take it and conquer other people's lands and blame the Jews for everything, which is what the catholics have done, is not representing the example of Yeshua (Jesus). We will take an undivided gospel to the ends of the earth, free of prejudice or racism. As Jews our mission was never to be racially superior or divided people or make up a false catholic religion, but only to be a light to the nations so salvation and the teachings of God can reach the ends of the earth - Isaiah 49:6.
    So instead of invading indigenous lands and ruling with a false doctrine like the catholic church did, we should instead give them the teachings, tell them the catholic religion is a lie and let the indigenous people apply the teachings to their own lands and nationalities.

    • @eleazarhillel8427
      @eleazarhillel8427 4 года назад +2

      Isnt that the truth? The Jewish nation always knows their homeland is Israel. The catholics have always invaded everyone. But our mission as Christians was to give them the word and the gospel and see Israel as the homeland, not to invade Polynesia and bring it under Spanish and French, and other control by catholicism.

    Tapa or Ngatu is alive and well in Polynesia, espesially Tonga and Fiji. Unlike ta'tatau, the tradition of making tapa has never been lost or abolished in these two nations. Even with Christianity, tapa has been used in ceremonies and funerals for as long as the people have inhabited these islands. The Tapa and ngatu that the women of Fiji and Tonga make are the finest in the world, printed with actual traditional motifs and symbols, not paintings of old etchings that were done by early european explorers. Maybe check your research before making statements about the rest of Polynesia that are not grounded in fact.
