Histoires de Pulotu
Abstracts
Pulotu, residence of the gods or sojourn of the dead is a placename known in Polynesia as well as in Fiji. It is not known whether it is an entirely mythical place or the remembrance of a formerly prosperous place. Oral tradition tells us about its wealth, the way of life of its inhabitants, and how you can stay there for a short while. The two Uvean texts presented here were recorded in 2000 from Alikisio Liufau who lives in ‘Utufua village in Wallis.
