We empower descendants of the people of Tonga and the broader Moana to deepen their understanding through a guided presentation of ancestral knowledge and practices based on trusted resources. Through facilitating the nurturing of ancestral connection, we support members of our Moanan community in cultivating mana and tauhi vā.
Our culture is both ancient and living: it is woven of many strands, whose intersections form its fabric. Ancestral knowledge takes many forms and is resilient to re-embodiments in time and space. Nonetheless, various historical and cultural forces have caused parts of our history to be erased or distorted. We contextualize ancestral knowledge in many forms while drawing from reliable sources.
Wherever you are in your journey, we have designed the learning experience at Fale Lulu to be accessible, supportive, and empowering for all children of the Moana. Our material has a primary spatial focus around Tonga, and a primary temporal focus between the founding of the Tu'i Tonga Empire and the Christianization of Tonga, but you can find many special topics beyond those bounds here.
