Inailau A Tina and Tina Mo A Taeao

Hired NEG participants. Inailau A Tina employed only women and girls, and Tina Mo A Taeao utilized men as well as women in the creation of handicrafts in their efforts to preserve the island’s cultural handicrafting work that utilizes local material. Whereas Inailau A Tina’s efforts were aimed at passing this cultural heritage to younger women and girls, Tina Mo A Taeao’s workforce provided an outlet for senior citizens to socialize and participate in a cultural activity that could potentially earn an income via sales of some of the goods at the port when cruise ships docked to visit the island
