Fakalukuluku

In this non-fiction book, ‘Elenga Mailangi explains the Niuafo‘ou way of fishing, called “fakalukuluku”. She says that “the problem with this kind of fishing is sharks … According to a legend, a very large shark, called Sekitoa, protects the local people from shark attack.” So when the local people gave her a chance to try out the method for herself, she wondered how the sharks would respond when she swam out to fish this way.
