Moenau Rivera - Leaving Tahiti made me more Tahitian
‘Ia Ora Na! May life be with you. This is the typical welcome you will receive from a native of my island home. My name is Moenau Rivera, and I am from TAHITI! They say: “you can take the girl out of the islands, but you can’t take the islands out of the girl.” I never understood or agreed with that statement more than I do today. Being from Tahiti, French Polynesia, I have many things to be proud of. My island home is rich in so many beautiful things; crystal clear waters, beautiful mountains, black pearls, a deep-rooted history, culture, and so much more. It truly is “paradise.” In the islands of French Polynesia, everyone grows up appreciating all that our land has to offer. We marvel, every day, at her beauty and endless bounty. At the root of all this, that which binds our generations, is our language, Te Reo Tahiti. As the Tahitian language has suffered many setbacks over the decades, due at large to colonization, it has survived. As a native, now living outside of the islands, I was surprised to find a world with such a strong desire and passion to learn my language. So, I founded Poly-lingual, my online Polynesian language learning platform. I use this as my way of helping to revive, share, and perpetuate the languages of my ancestors, and that which is at the root of everything I am. May life be with you all….’Ia Ora Na!
