Abstract
Tokelau’s people face legacies of multiple waves of colonization and uncertain climate futures. The annexation of Olohega/Swains Island by the United States of America (U.S.) and the territorialization of the remaining Tokelau atolls by New Zealand has left Tokelau communities separated by colonial borders that shape everyday realities of movement and connection between Tagata Tokelau (indigenous people of Tokelau) and Tokelau itself. With no government resourcing to facilitate connections between diasporic communities, Tagata Tokelau are reliant on familial efforts and community-based activities to foster connections across colonial borders. Currently, scholars frame diaspora in terms of “home” and “away”, and geographic interrogations of diasporic communities still focus on nation-state borders, and sedentary ideas about migration.
