Transcript (21 pages) of interviews by Savani Aupiu with Vai Hafoka on September 15, 2008 |
| Abstract |
Hafoka (b. 1959) tells us about her young life in the Tongan Islands, then her move to San Mateo California. She describes, with excitement, her trip from Tonga to the United States in 1970, and shares the importance to her of her Tongan traditions. She describes her family's relationship with the LDS church, including her arrival at Brigham Young University at the age of 17, with a book and tuition scholarship, a small government grant, and no other support. She thought at the time that she was the only Tongan woman at BYU, where she graduated at the age of 19. Interview is part of the Pacific Worlds Oral History Project. Interviewer: Savani Aupiu |
