Toku Tala (My Story)
Talofa! Toku igoa ko Celeste Tuman (Selesite me Telesite faka Tuvalu). Au e noho I Amelika nei, I Las Vegas.
My name is Celeste Tuman. I live in America, in Las Vegas.
Matou mo Teaitala mo tena avaga ne fetaui ite Facebook i 2023... ne talia ne laua ke fai mo fai te lotou kano.
Teaitala, Meele and I met on Facebook in 2023. They accepted me as family, making me their faraway niece or daughter.
I built this site because Tuvaluan government systems failed to help me reach my faka uncle. I am using my HTML skills to preserve Teaitala's native tongue, the dialect of Nanumea Island, for the world.
