So much so that Banabans have relocated to the island of Rabi, Fiji. While we talk about a painful past, Vaitoa & Hele also share stories of resilience with Banabans across the diaspora continuing to maintain and hold onto their culture and identity as proud Banabans. Send us a textThe Moanan is not just an educational platform but an online community — connecting diasporas all over the world.
