content: This tapa was catalogued as from Fiji, however Sagale Buadromo, Director of the Fiji Museum, and Mereia Luvunakora, Registrar of the Fiji Museum, don't believe it is Fijian but rather from Wallis Futuna. Dr. Adrienne Kaeppler, Curator of Oceanic Ethnology, concurs with the Futuna identification.
