 The majority of the population speaks French and Tahitian (co-official
with French throughout French Polynesia).
 Tourism is a significant industry.
 In July, the Heivā festival in Papeete celebrates Polynesian culture and
the commemoration of the storming of the Bastille in Paris.
 Tahitian cultures included an oral tradition that involved the mythology of
gods, such as 'Oro ( a god of the Polynesian pantheon) and beliefs, as well
as ancient traditions such as tattooing and navigation. The annual Heivā
Festival in July is a celebration of traditional culture, dance, music and
sports including a long distance race between the islands of French
Polynesia, in modern outrigger canoes (va'a).

paddle sport is also known as outrigger canoe. The
Tahitians consistently achieve record-breaking and top
times as world champion in this sport.

union and association football and the island has
fielded a national basketball team, which is a member
of FIBA Oceania. Another sport is surfing, with famous
surfers such as Malik Joyeux and Michel Bourez.
Dance
 The 'ote'a (sometimes written as otea) is a traditional dance from
Tahiti, where the dancers, standing in several rows, execute figures. This
dance, easily recognized by its fast hip-shaking and grass skirts, is often
confused with the Hawaiian hula, a generally slower more graceful
dance which focuses more on the hands and storytelling than the hips.
 the couple's dance 'upa'upa is likewise gone but may have reemerged as
the tamure.
 The dance is with music only, drums, but no singing. The drum can be
one of the types of the tōʻere, a laying log of wood with a longitudinal
slit, which is struck by one or two sticks. Or it can be the pahu, the
ancient Tahitian standing drum covered with a shark skin and struck by
the hands or with sticks. The rhythm from the tōʻere is fast, from
the pahu it is slower. A smaller drum, the faʻatete, can be used.
