Examining the Complex Relationship: New Caledonians and their Past

NC la 1ère opens Heritage Month with a 52-minute special, Regards sur notre histoire. A unique meeting that focuses on the sometimes very complex relationship that New Caledonians have with their past.

In New Caledonia, history fascinates as much as it tears.
« The appreciation of the past fluctuates according to the communities and the episodes of our past “, explains Nathalie Daly, assistant of the TV programs to the editorial direction on NC the 1st. ” Certain periods arouse passions, anger. Others come under the “national novel” with embellishments, or conversely summon the unsaid “, she continues.
Faced with this observation, NC the 1st decided to open the month of heritage with a special program, Regards sur notre histoire. His goal: to try to understand why Caledonians are unable to come to terms with their past.
Why retracing certain pages of our history provokes anger? Is it possible to look our past in the face with its shadows and its lights in a peaceful mind and with discernment? How to finally transmit the history of our island to future generations and interest them… So many questions which the program will try to answer with Louis Lagarde, historian and archaeologist, François Wadra, historian and archaeologist and the expert in history of NC the 1st , Antoine Le Tenneur.
