    Ceremony of "Mwâ Kââ" : step of the national construction in New-Caledonia — Université Catholique de l'Ouest - Angers

Combining culture and politics, the initiative of Mwâ Kââ can it be seen as an expression of an offensive identity whose aim is to proceed, from referents Kanak, an opening between historically opposing groups?

The article analyzes these multiple belongings, the opposition to Metropolitans and proximity with the Kanak world as many self-identifications process being caught between singular affirmation and construction of a common country
