What not to do when visiting Wallis and Futuna
Wallis and Futuna Don’t forget the respect for elders and generosity are the core principles in society. Oldest sisters are honoured and respected. Elders hold authority in the family, and brothers are expected to look after their sisters. Men and women typically socialise in separate groups. Children are expected to sit quietly through church or a meeting - if they become restless, they are taken outside by a sibling.
