The most important event on any Tokelauan’s calendar is the Easter tourney. It’s a proud tradition that goes back to the 1970s when the community would gather to play sports as a challenge between Rotorua and Porirua.

Later the event grew to include a fatele, or traditional dance event. This year the biennial event was held in Auckland. Marama T-Pole went along for this story.
