Palele Faataape was 3 when she arrived in New Zealand from Tuvalu. She was adopted to an uncle and was raised believing she was Samoan. She’s spent her whole life in Canterbury and has never been back to Tuvalu. It’s left a hole in her heart that has never been filled. This week she met Tuvalu kaiga (family) in Christchurch as part of Tuvalu Language Week celebrations.
