The story captures the rich and complex world of Tahiti, focusing on the character Tērii, a recitant (storyteller) who partakes in the oral traditions of his Maori ancestors. Through Tērii's experiences, the book delves into themes of cultural memory, identity, and the impact of external influences on indigenous societies. The opening of "Les Immémoriaux" introduces Tērii as he walks through the sacred grounds of Tahiti, performing rituals and recounting the ancient stories of his people. The narrative establishes a deep connection to the spiritual practices of the Maori and hints at a growing tension with foreign influences, particularly the arrival of pale-skin foreigners. Through Tērii's observations and interactions, readers are thrust into a world where the vibrancy of indigenous culture clashes with the encroaching effects of colonialism, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of loss and transformation.
