Tahiti is in the French Polynesia, located in the archipelago of Society Islands in the Southern Pacific Ocean.

The Tahitians of the modern era maintain their heritage and traditions of their Maohi ancestors. Oral history recounts the adventures of gods and warriors in colorful legends.

During a trip to Hawaii, I visited the Polynesian Cultural Centre and experienced a staged wedding show in the ancient Tahitian cultural set-up.
