Futuna's Polynesian Heritage: A Humble Life of Fishing and Farming | SLICE

[@forrestbaker6418]

On my way to work in Canada, underground in a parkade all day, all week. These people are lucky to be born there.

I'm sure there are some drawbacks to their way of life, but seeing them really makes me wonder if our modern technology and comforts are truly worth it 🤔 It's as if we've created problems just to sell the solutions!

[@robertjalu6897]

@@SLICEDocumentary they rarely get visits but we have installed Vsat for communications .... simple life

[@islandertv.4412]

Simple life of tribe and beautiful documentary very nice

[@stonew1927]

It's important to note that there are two Futuna Islands in the South Pacific, the one belonging to the Vanuatu chain, and the other one far to the east between Samoa and Fiji comprising the French protectorate of Wallis and Futuna. I believe the video relates to life on the Vanuatu island of Futuna and not the other one . . .

In the Philippines we also eat the Taro & not only the root but also the Leaves & the Stems...we peel their outer skin then lay out in the Sun to dry up a little bit then cook it with coconut milk & some grounded meat or small dried fish & spice it up with chili...we call it "LAING"

Futuna is at the south part of Vanuatu. It's actually isolated from the islands. I've never been to Futuna but hope to one day. Watching all the way from Vanuatu

[@MrLoreto99]

Went to school at UNITECH Taraka Lae with a Futuna guy from Vanuatu in the late 80s. Me blo Solomon.

[@charlestonchanming9251]

I thought this was our fellow Polynesians from the french territory 🇨🇵 of Wallis & Futuna 🇼🇫 ( Malo te mauli o lou kou uma . Soifua) . These cats from Futuna , Vanuatu are melenesians like Fiji , New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, PNG , West Papua, Tiwi ,😃 Thursday Islanders . Charlie Fa'afealoaiga mai i Chicago, IL , Usa 🇺🇲

[@YouTubeUzername]

Loved this! Thanks for posting! 😊

[@bobmiles1708]

Vanuatu stap lo ❤️🇻🇺🔥. In my opinion, all Pacific islands are the other tribe that found the land of Milk and Honey... We are the ones who made it to the promise land

[@briantakoboy5173]

Blessed descendents of great sea farers. Proud Melanesian, Polynesian and Micronesian we are. God bless our way of life

[@marcus-ds8yj]

That was a great basket

More like out Tolai and New Islanders in PNG.

[@AMM0beatz]

Seafaring in the pacific is not exclusively a ‘polynesian’ heritage.

[@Sunspear2]

Exactly

[@iwa817]

Why does this mini doc make like “Melanesians” and other Pasifika are not also seafaring cultures? You have people all throughout Oceania that are not “Polynesian” that are also seafaring and are attached culturally to the Ocean. Also this island is considered a “Polynesian” outlier so the people are Polynesian. I prefer the term Pasifika because these colonial labels (created to establish a hierarchy) cause people to get into bizarre debates about features and skin color (even though most of my “Polynesian” ancestors were darker than the people in this video, had wider noses and had curly frizzy hair…)

[@hurricanenigel5111]

😮they dont look Polynesian,they like fiji..all mix poly mela

[@iwa817]

Fijians (iTaukei) are considered both “Polynesian” and “Melanesian.” We have Fiji as one of the cultures at the Polynesian cultural center here in Hawaii. “Polynesian” is geocultural construct. There really isn’t a “look.” Like all other Indigenous peoples phenotypes will vary greatly. For example, my ancestors don’t look like Samoans or Tongans even though they are also “Polynesian.” Historically, people like this have always existed within “Polynesia.”

[@KumulFly-jt5st]

Theses are Melanesiand not Polynesians

[@iwa817]

They are Polynesian. Futuna in Vanuatu aka West Futuna is considered as a Polynesian outlier. There are several other outliers off of Vanuatu as well as the Solomon Islands, Bougainville (PNG), New Caledonia, and a few in Micronesia. Polynesian is a geocultural construct

[@silverback1243]

Poly, mela, and micro are colonial terms. We don't adhere to such rubbish. We're people of pasifika, children of the stars

[@ketyenyaruto4949]

How are they related to Africa? Coz they are similar

[@mikebrown5239]

😂

[@JohnPong-rj3cq]

This is one of the reasons I love watching Star Trek. Epic legends from around the world suggest star origin.
