In 2005, the legislature of the Tokelau islands, a territory of New Zealand announced a contest for a territorial anthem. The selection process took four years, and the entry of local musician Eric Lemuelu Falima was selected as the winner. After the selection, the words were debated and revised until March, 2012, when the anthem was adopted. The last line of the anthem is only to be spoken, not sung.
Lyrics (Tokelauan):

Te Atua o Tokelau

Te Atua o nuku, Te Atua o Tokelau

Fakamanuia mai ia Tokelau

Puipui tauhi mai ko ito filemu

Toku fenua, tau aganuku

Tau fuka ke agiagia Lototahi, tumau hi to fakavae

Tokelau mo te atua

Te Atua o Tokelau

In the past, colours were derived from natural sources, and so the colours of black, brown, and white were predominant. Through the influence of other cultures and with the availability of synthetic dyes, a wider colour palette is now available in the materials that Tokelau people use for clothing and crafts, among other things. In agànuku Tokelau, blue is associated with the sea, green with plants and plantations, and yellow with the sun.
