Final episode for our Moanan Abroad series!

This week we have Kahu Kaiha – a Tama Enana community leader, artist, cultural practitioner and polyglot (fluent in Eo Enana, Reo Tahiti, French and English) from the Marquesas Islands (Te Henua Enana).

We cover many topics from French Polynesia to the Tapu System, Marquesean tattooing known as Patutiki, connections between the Marquesas and other nations in the Pacific and more.
