Episode 40 - How Touʻa Changed From Men to Women.

In this episode, we dive deep into the history and evolution of Touʻa in Tongan faikava culture.Was Touʻa originally a male role? How did it change over time from sacred ceremony into modern faikava settings? Drawing from academic research, oral history, and historical records, we explore the three types of faikava identified by Futa Helu and discuss how war, migration, and social change transformed the role of Touʻa in Tongan society.Support the showHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.Sign the Petition to ban tou'a and protect women and children.            https://pasifikaempowerment.org/campaignsYou can watch the video podcast on https://www.youtube.com/@pacificempowerment
