Migration model

This diagram shows the mainstream and counter stream flow between tokelau and NZ. There are many different push and pull reasons people move/have moved from tokelau to NZ. Push reasons are things that make people leave their place of origins negative things, for example having to move due a war that may be happening. Pull reasons are the positive reasons that attract people to a new destination. Like wanting to move for better education, resources and technology. The obstacles people might face when moving are money, ( not having enough ) not being able to find work. The mainstream flow are the people moving to NZ from tokelau and the counter stream flow are people who are moving back home. The mainstream flow is bigger because there are more people wanting to be in a bigger place/more advanced place.

New things about tokelau

Today in sos I learnt more about tokelau, for example I learnt how most tokelauans became christians by the 1850s and how from atafu to nukunonu is 92km and then from nukunonu to fakaofo is 64km across the rough ocean. I also found out that tokelau gets and average of 2,500mm of rain per year.
Something interesting I found out was that slave ships from peru took more than half of the people on tokelau into slavery.
