What do you tell them, the new people who come here?

I always encourage them and always remind them to wear our Kiribati way, that love and our kindness to people.

If we always bring that with us, we will be loved by the community.

And I think that's what I'm thankful they've done that because everyone here loves all our people.

Has there been any resistance at all from people who go, well, this isn't your country?

No.

And thank God.

You know, they're very nice to our people.
