HOOPER, Julian
Fishing for Pala (Pacific)
As a child, Julian Hooper spent nine months
living on Fakaofo, the main atoll of the three
that make up the tiny country of Tokelau. His
parents, anthropologist Antony Hooper, and
linguist Robin Hooper, took Julian and his
brother Matthew with them while they worked
on a study of Tokelauan health for Ian Prior,
Director of Epidemiology at Wellington
Hospital.
