French Polynesia is a group of 130 islands and atolls, located between Australia and South America, in the South Pacific Ocean. It includes five archipelagoes: Society Islands, the Marquesas Islands, Tuamotu Archipelego, Austral Islands (which includes the Tubuai Islands), and the Gambier Islands.
The Society Islands are the most well-known since they include Tahiti and Bora Bora. Tahiti is the home to over two-thirds of the population of French Polynesia and it houses the capital city of Papeete.
French Polynesia is called "overseas lands" of France. The main languages spoken there are French and Tahitian.

A Note From Mama Lisa...
I always welcome new contributions of traditional kids songs, nursery rhymes and folk songs. Please CLICK HERE to email Mama Lisa if you are interested and write "New Song" as the subject of the email.
Also, if anyone would like to sing any of these songs in the original language, or play any of the tunes on an instrument, I would love to post a recording on Mama Lisa's World. You could send me an audio cassette or you could record it directly onto the computer and email it to me. Remember... you don't have to be a professional singer or musician to contribute!
