Talofa lava! O lo’u igoa o Danielle Kionasina Dilys Thomson.

I created Tagata Atamai with the intention of highlighting diverse strengths of tagata o le Moana. It started as an online platform where I celebrated Pasifika and Māori people doing mana-enhancing mahi. Since then, Tagata Atamai has grown into a bookstore, publisher and creative learning community. With the guiding aspiration of amplifying voices of the Moana, I have found authentic, responsive ways to do just that.
