Regional/Cultural Day
'Aho 'o e Tau
The anniversary of Tuvalu's independence from Britain on October 1, 1978. The celebration includes a church service, a feast, and the traditional dance performances. The day is both celebration and reflection, because the independence was achieved peacefully (Tuvalu is one of the smallest countries in the world, with a population of only 11,000 people).
