Introduction to Wallis and Futuna Ahoya
Wallis and Futuna is a French overseas collective territory in the South Pacific Ocean, consisting of the Wallis and Futuna Islands and the island of Alofi. The capital, Mata'utu, is located on the island of Uvea in the Wallis Islands, while Ahaua is a small traditional village on the southwestern coast of Futuna.
Geographic and demographic characteristics
Located in the tropics and dominated by volcanic landscapes and coastal jungle, Ahaua is sparsely populated and retains a traditional Polynesian way of life. The local population relies mainly on fishing, subsistence farming and handicrafts, and traditional fale thatched roof buildings can be found throughout the village.
Culture and History
As one of the oldest settlements on Futuna, Ahoya continues its Samoan cultural traditions and the chieftaincy system still plays a role in the governance of the community, which was integrated into the French cultural system when Futuna became a French protectorate in 1842 and a French overseas territory in 1961.
Tourism and Transportation
Ahoya can be reached through Mata'utu Airport, the only airport on the island of Futuna. Visitors can experience the pristine beaches and visit the church of St. Pierre Charnel (in honor of the 19th century missionary), but note that the local infrastructure is relatively simple and tourist services are limited.
