Sikaiana Oral Stories
The Story of Tehui Atahu
This is a transcript and translation of 12 pages given to me by Edwin Huilani on Sikaiana, in 1981-2. The story is about the founder hero of Sikaiana, Tehui Atahu.

The original and translation should be of interest to Sikaiana people and might be an aid in language preservation.

One of the sites was a known habitation, …
