Description
Marilyn and Taloi Havini. Wife and daughter of Moses Havini. Taloi Havini was born in 1981 in the Arawa District, Autonomous Region of Bougainville and belongs to the Nakas clan and Hako language group. Her parents, Moses and Marilyn Havini were leaders in the Bougainville independence movement. They bought their family, including Taloi, to Australia in 1990 where they continued to act as spokespeople for the Bougainville Revolutionary Army, Bougainville Interim Government and Bougainville citizens, including exposing human rights abuses committed against children. Here they hold up the Bougainville flag which was designed by Marilyn (a former art teacher) next to Moses' grave at their home.
