A Pure Caledonian Métisse
A Pure Caledonian Métisse
In the French territory of New Caledonia, my grandmother and I sail on a journey in search of a chest that's been kept hidden by a Kanak tribe. It is said that this coffer contains our ancestor’s belongings, a British sandalwood trader who married a Kanak chief's daughter. For Kanaks, ancestors’ effects are considered sacred and are only accessible to Kanaks relatives. My grandmother’s journey, in the wake of the referendum on independence, leads her to explore her family history on the territory and how her mix of ethnicity has shaped her identity.
