Pasifika Digital Legends
These digital legends are based on traditional stories from the TurtlePacific. They have been selected and retold, in English and Pasifika languages, by New Zealand students.
The translations include Samoan, Tongan, Cook Island, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Fijian, Niue, and Māori languages.
Note that sometimes the stories of the legends changed slightly during translation, so the translations cannot always be taken as direct translations of the existing English text version.
