Preserving Tuvaluan culture a feature of language week

From , 4:02 pm on 2 October 2017

Tuvaluans make up one of the smallest Pacific ethnic groups in New Zealand and the community is striving to keep its culture alive in this country. 

As part of this Tuvaluans in New Zealand are this week celebrating Tuvalu language week for the 5th time.

The focus this year is 'progress to thrive, not forgetting your roots'.

For many Tuvaluans, the theme 'fano ki mua kae sa puli tou iloga' is something they live by on a daily basis.
