In Tokelau they have just allowed women to have a say in what happens around and in there Island. Sadly it is only special women that is aloud to have a say!They put their 1st generation 1st so that in the future everybody is good and healthy. There are 3 parts of Tokela! They have to travel by boat to get to school every week! They are recognized by there culture and tradition's. They have great family support! They are scared of losing there culture! They are trying to keep there traditions by getting fish and coconuts but they are also trying to accept things from the outsiders! They unload everything they need from the boat by hand!

Hi Juanita,
My name's Ruby and I'm part of the Summer Learning Journey team.
It was great to read your blog post about Tokelau! A lot of smaller islands like this are working to protect their culture. Even New Zealand does it! Can you think of a way that New Zealand protects it's culture?
