About Atafu Tokelau Community Group Inc
Kaiga Matauala
The Tokelau – New Zealand community has along-standing history spanning over 50 years. This history began with the early migration of Tokelau people from the small atolls of Fakaofo, Nukunonu and Atafu in the1950s.
The New Zealand government instituted the Tokelau Resettlement Scheme (1966-1976) which launched the journey of many young families and young people to New Zealand.
The Atafu Tokelau Community Group was founded by these first settlers who were in search of better opportunities in education and employment for their families in the home islands and in New Zealand.
In 1978, land was purchased and a purpose-built community hall named Matauala (another name for Atafu), which was officially opened in 1987.
The vision and inspiration of Matauala is a centre they can call their own. This became an investment for future generations to continue the Atafu ethos and culture as a model that ensures our family structures, values, culture and traditions are maintained.
This centre represents Atafu’s home away from home.
