With many Tuvaluans now calling places like Aotearoa home, holding onto language and culture becomes both a challenge and a calling. For Asita Molotii, co-founder of the Tuvalu Alliance for Sustainable and Inclusive Action Network (TASIAN), this year’s Language Week theme is both fitting, and important. While still formally developing, the alliance reflects a powerful shift – young Tuvaluans stepping up to lead their own journey. Molotti said many people are inspired by the rising leadership of young Tuvaluans and the intergenerational approach they embrace. So it’s about, yeah, enjoying (ourselves).”Tuvalu Language Week wraps up on Saturday.
