celebrating cultures | connecting communities
Aloha mo Ha'ele Mai!
Welcome to Iosepa International Village - a gathering place rooted in the legacy of Polynesian Pioneers and inspired by the cultural richness of our beautiful state of Utah.
Here, we celebrate cultural heritages, foster connections and invite the world to experience the stories that shape our communities and future.
​
Who are Polynesians? Polynesians are the seafaring peoples of the Pacific who navigated vast oceans with ancestral wisdom, establishing vibrant cultures across islands from Tahiti to Hawai'i to Aotearoa to Tonga to Samoa to Fiji, including smaller island nations. Their enduring spirit, deep reverance for land and family, and legacy of exploration live on in the heart of Iosepa.
