Tokelau
Island territory (pop., 1992 est.: 2,000) of New Zealand, north of Western Samoa. It consists of three coral atolls--Fakaofu, Nukunono, and Atafu--each with numerous low-lying islets. Originally settled by Samoans, the islands were first visited by Europeans in the 18th cent. In 1863 Peruvian slave raiders abducted many islanders; the abductions and outbreaks of disease reduced the population to about 200. The British established a protectorate there in 1889. Under the name Union Islands, they were part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands colony 1916-26, when New Zealand was granted jurisdiction. The islands became part of New Zealand in 1948, and adopted the name Tokelau in 1976.
