“My heart and my thoughts were always on Niue. But here I was - TopicsExpress



          

“My heart and my thoughts were always on Niue. But here I was living in Aotearoa on someone else’s land. Writing helped change me, painting helped change me. I went back to Niue as often as I could, and I’d weed and clear the graves for my family and friends’ families. It’s a way of saying I’m back...We go back home with our Nikes and our jeans and we think we know things. But the local people just think we’re stupid. They know where all the trees are and the pathways and where the mythologies and the stories live.” John Pule (Niuean)
