Abstract
This article is about a 2004 reconciliation ceremony between two families involved in the revenge killing of two nationalist leaders in 1989, an incident that set back the Kanak independence movement. The reconciliation ceremony helped to rewrite local history and restore Kanak customs, identity, and nationalism.
