Airmen represent their Pacific Island cultures

Master Sgt. Fiatagata Ulukivaiola, 51st Force Support Squadron Career Development section chief, performs a Taualuga (the dance of life) with a 'Nifo'oti' knife (sharp tooth) during a photoshoot for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, May 18, 2022. Traditionally, the Taualuga is performed by the son or daughter of the high Chief or family. When entering the room they proudly showcase the 'Nifo’oti' to the crowd. The Taualuga is known to lift the spirits and atmosphere of the whole occasion. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Joshua J. Garcia)
