I can see my Tokelau way, it's good. I can see the papalagi way, it's good. I don't want to put one down, and life the other one up, or put the other one down and lift that one up. I can carry them both. Valeti Finau, TongaImmigrant women bring to New Zealand rich experiences of lives spent in other cultures. But their stories are rarely told.

They also, often poignantly, point to what they cannot speak about.The ten women come from India, the Philippines, Tonga, Tokelau Islands, Chile, Iran, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Vietnam and Laos.With portraits by Gil Hanly.
