The Fetia Api or Nouvelle Étoile () was a political party in French Polynesia. The party was led by Boris Léontieff. It was subsequently led by Philip Schyle. It is linked with New Centre for helping the public financial contribution. On 24 May 2002 a light plane carrying party leader Boris Léontieff and other candidates for the party disappeared on a flight to Makemo in the Tuamotus. The French colonial government refused to delay the elections. At the 2004 election the party contested with its own list, winning one seat. Following the elections the party held the balance of power, and sided with pro-independence leader Oscar Temaru. Following the collapse of Temaru's government the party united with Nicole Bouteau to contest the Windward Islands by-elections as the Alliance for a New Democracy (ADN). The party did not join the subsequent Temaru government. In 2006 the party's leader Philip Schyle was elected President of the Assembly. He was elected for a second term in 2009. In the 2008 election the party ran on a common list with O Porinetia To Tatou Ai'a and other small autonomist parties called "To Tātou ‘Ai‘a" (Homeland for us all).
