Name of local canoe in Wallis&FutunaCountry forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea | ||
Anyone knows the name of this local canoe from Futuna island? | ||
Not sure about Futuna, but in the Cooks, which also has a Polynesian language, a canoe is a "vaka". Does that sound familiar?? | 1 | |
Yes, 'vaka' was all right, helped my lazy brain, helped to search around a bit. 'vaka kumete' is polynesian, vaà tanoa´ fidji, second one means cooking pot or something like that. | 2 | |
