TOKELAU

                           TOKELAU

Aloha from Tokelau!!!

Tokelau is a group of atolls located in Polynesia in Pacific Ocean. It comprises of 3 atolls - Atafu, Fakaofo and Nukunonu. The culture of Samoa is more evident here or the opposite ( culture of Tokelau evident in Samoa). The Tokelau people are well know for their cultural beliefs especially in the field of agriculture. They are a nature loving people. The atolla of Tokelau are at risk from rising sea levels due to global warming. Tokelau is actually a self administering territory of New Zealand. They do not have an airport. More Tokelauans can be found in New Zealand than Tokelau.

Tokelau is one of the most wonderful countries to receive a postcard from. Most often it takes a long time to reach. Mine took almost 3 months which is less in terms of time taken. My friend M. sent it to me with such great postmarks. Really love it and feel proud of it. Thank you very much. It is postmarked at Nukunonu Post Office. The stamps show random views of the 3 atolls.
