According to a report on New Caledonian radio, a 70-year-old Tuvalu woman has spearheaded the move as her ancestors hail from Futuna, whose language is similar to Tuvaluan.
The report said she has been advised that she and her family will be given land.
One Tuvalu family is said to have settled while others visiting the island’s kingdom of Alo are reported to have returned to Tuvalu to formalize migration papers.
