Marquesas
Art & Culture Festival 2019
Prior to 1986, many people in the remote Marquesas islands were worried
that the ancient traditions and cultures would be lost if a concentrated effort
was not made to preserve them. From this concern the cultural organisation
known as “Motu Haka o Te Fenua Enata” was established as they organized
the first Art and Culture festival on the Marquesas Island of Ua Pou.
This festival encourages its youth to approach the Tuhuka (wise-men)
of the islands to be trained in the ancient traditions and culture of the islands.
The “Matavaa O Te Fenua Enana
” or the Marquesas Art & Culture Festival
was established and now re-occurs every 4 years on one of the three most
populated Marquesas Islands.
