"Te Atua o Tokelau" ("The God of Tokelau"), or "Tokelau mo te Atua" ("Tokelau for God"), is the national anthem of Tokelau (Viki o Tokelau), a territory within the Realm of New Zealand. Adopted in 2012, it was written and composed by Eric Lemuelu Falima. The official national anthem is "God Save the King".[1]
In 2005, the Tokelau legislature announced a contest for an anthem for the islands. After a four-year selection process, an entry by Eric Lemuelu Falima was chosen as the winner. The lyrics were subsequently debated and revised until March 2012, when the anthem was adopted.[2]
