ERA – A Motuan Place Name and Its Story

Discover the story behind Era, a Motuan word shaped by the coastline, landscape and experiences of those who came before us.

Through personal reflection, language and cultural memory, Mea Podi Vai explores how ancestral place names described the land and preserved knowledge that might otherwise have disappeared.

ERA invites readers to imagine an earlier coastal Port Moresby and consider what our language can still teach us about identity, history and belonging.
