tokelau


Tokelau is a territory of New Zealand in the South Pacific Ocean that consists of three tropical coral atolls (from the northwest, Atafu, Nukunonu and Fakaofo, as well as Swains Island which is governed as part of American Samoa) with a combined land area of and a population of approximately 1,400. Its capital rotates yearly between the three atolls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tokelau.org.nz/ )〕 Tokelau lies north of the Samoan Islands, Swains Island being the nearest, east of Tuvalu, south of the Phoenix Islands, southwest of the more distant Line Islands, and northwest of the Cook Islands.
The United Nations General Assembly designates Tokelau a Non-Self-Governing Territory. Until 1976, the official name was Tokelau Islands.〔Tokelau Amendment Act 1976〕 It is a New Zealand territory, and is sometimes referred to by its older colonial name, the Union Islands.
==Etymology==
The name ''Tokelau'' is a Polynesian word meaning "North Wind". The islands were named the ''Union Islands'' and ''Union Group'' by European explorers at an unknown time. ''Tokelau Islands'' was adopted as the name in 1946, and was contracted to ''Tokelau'' on 9 December 1976.
