Background and political role

Isaako is from Atafu. He was the head of government of Tokelau from February 2004 to February 2005.

In May 2004, the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonialization held a seminar to discuss independence for Tokelau from New Zealand. Isaako opposed the idea, mainly because Tokelau may be too small and undeveloped to function on its own.
