UPCOMING EVENTS

Soon the Pacific Traditions Society (PTS) will launch a new website, dedicated to the past and future projects of PTS. Some of what is on vaka.org will be on that site. But many other projects of PTSʻ past and future will be featured on that new website...not just the Vaka Taumako Project. PTS will also attempt to update vaka.org with the last 20 months when we have been so busy that we fell behind in posting events and updates. Many are only on Facebook.
