The

Rotuman

Forum

The Rotuman Forum is a webpage where viewpoints on Rotuman History, Culture, Language and Politics can be posted. The purpose of the forum is to give Rotumans, and other interested parties, an opportunity to share their views regarding matters of concern to the Rotuman community.

The Forum is managed by Alan Howard and Jan Rensel who ask that submissions be respectful to the views of others. We will not post views that indulge in name-calling or use insulting language. With those exceptions, we will post submissions in either Rotuman or English. In order to avoid embarrassment, we edit English submissions for spelling and grammar and post them after the edited versions are approved by the author. Submissions may be sent by e-mail to Rotuman_Forum. Please identify the forum in which you would like your submission to be posted.
