10:39 is that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo? 😂
I randomly came across your video and I'm so glad I did. My grandfather also held the Tu'u'u matai title of Siumu until his passing in 2006. His name was Tu'u'u Fa'alogo Mulivai Apelu.
We could be related. Ill ask my mum who is from Siumu 😊
@thehulajourney My great grandmother's house is right next to the loloa vai and my grandmother who passed in 2019 was Faleulu Tofaeono Masalosalo Apelu.
Oh wow. I happened to have a lot of Apelu show as relations in my Ancestry DNA results. In fact, Tuuu Atuatasi is my 6x great grandfather. Not sure if it's a relation to you or not.

Is this Fa'asamoa learning programme still running and can someone tell me where can I apply please?
I'm not too sure whether she is still running. You can try google her under Mary Autagavaia.
is this american samoa? your name is half east indian and half chinese, where is the samoan bit :)?
I am NZ born Samoan Chinese. I was named after my mother's mid-wife who was Indian. And my father's father is from Hong Kong, sailed to Samoa in the whaling boats from China in the early 1900s. Good observation my friend.
Everything is changing because people feel this wanna be this and that Females were never apart of this in our tradition from back with our ancestors why change it because you feel like you wanna do it and wanna be it when it was never a duty bestowed on women It's a man's duty and chiefs duty Ku'u mea a kamaloloa I kamaloloa

Let me guess at your translation, When you arrive to NZ in March you would very much want to meet our halau and join in our dancing. If you have my permission. Of course!!!! We welcome youbwoth open arms
Mahalo Nui🌺 Waiting for the time to meet you. My English is not very good, but I will try.
Talofa Aruna, are they still running those MIT classes?
Talofa lava, no they are not but there are now other classes that are offered that I know of. I cannot remember where they are held now but my cousin attended another one. You can find the teacher on instagram called under Nafanuatele.
I’m dying to have something like Epiphany out here in California 😩
Question, from my understanding Nafanua was the ancestress of Salamasina & she had lived long before Her time (which was estimated to be 1500’s) so I always wonder what do people mean when they say Nafanua Bestowed these titles on to Salamasina. Are they saying the goddess herself was still around? We’re they speaking to her spirit? Or was this A Woman with the chief title of Nafanua that had bestowed these titles on salamasina.
I believe that Nafanua was around 1500s but she does tend to pop up through the ages.
@@thehulajourney So obviously this isn’t true because Nafanua would’ve been over 200 years old lol, I recently done research on the ancestry of These families and Nafanua was estimated to have been born in the 13th century. So most likely when they speak of Her in the story of Salamasina, they are talking about Her spirit speaking through someone else’s body or a Woman with the Title of Nafanua. Very interesting stuff!
@@Emory.S Wow!!! This is new information. On what basis was she believed to be from 13th Century??? Love this conversation...
@@thehulajourney well I traced her lineage from Salamasina which went back a few generations. Which I had divided each gen with 20-30 years average in between. Which of course led me to believe she was born sometime in the 1340’s.
@@Emory.S Are you from Savaii? What are your resources?
haha great work ladies🥰
This is a very low percentage of women that actually can do this type of position. Knowledge of the culture. Samoan culture, the how's, when's, why's, who's, your walk. Clothes, More to it but just basics Knowledge of language, language in specific orders. You don't speak the language E, F, G and then speak A, B, C, D, this culture speaks in language of order. Knowledge of Biblical theology. The understanding of Biblical principal and how it applies in every day life. Knowledge of speech. Be charismatic in your speech. Speak correctly and clearly. Be confident in yourself. Knowledge of leadership. Natural born leaders are leaders who are born to lead. You can train women to become leaders but doesn't mean they will be great at it. There are more but.....
I’m a dude. I don’t care what your gender is. If you can be a good chief and effective, heck I don’t care if you are a man or a woman. By the way, Sina’s father, Tamaalelagi, was a murderer. He and his band of murderers killed his cousin Tuiaana Sagate and most of his family so he could hold the Tuiaana title. Salamasina’s royal line was established through treachery and murder by her father. Friday aft - June 10, 2022. Prlcty Lupes.
Woh!!! I never knew that. Where are your resources? Id love to know more...
@@thehulajourney the elders are my sources. It’s a well known tradition among the Tuaia’ana clans.
@@theephraimite I love this. Please find me on Facebook so I can private message you some more about this. Aruna Po-Ching.
These samoan matai men just don’t like hearing the truth. reclamation of Samoans true feagaiga... matriarchy
You shouldn't be trying to influence the culture and "empower" women if you're not participating in it and speaking the language.
If this is the course that you are studying, how can you not want to be a part of your culture. Why would you want to leadn this if you are not already interested in tour culture?
@@thehulajourney because like anything we all must start from the bottom. Can't go straight to ceo, need to be a laborer first, lay the foundations. The samoan culture is all service before leadership. But apologies if I sound blunt I am only sharing my opinion. The video was very well done and hope to see more good work. Thanks
I’m a 16 yr old afakasi my dad is a matai, he serves for our village Falelatai. I’m an only child and always wanted to be like my dad, I’ve always dreamed about being a matai just like my father and papa since i was 4. I loved the feeling being around my family, help and serve them and to do what’s best for everyone. This has truly inspired me thank you so much for this! :)
I am so happy to hear this. Follow your bliss. You have visualised this for a very long time, I believe it will be manifested.
Who’s your dads family from Falelatai?
@@Uso-Anae That was going to be my next question too.
@@thehulajourney hi i love this video, very informative. Tu'u'u Kalala is my Aganu'u Samoa mentor, she is amazing. I'm still in the process of learning about the culture and traditions. My mother is from Falelatai, i was bestowed 2 ali'i titles from her family from the Aiga Tauaana. My father is a direct descendant of a grandson of Salamasina named Matautia (the first one in Sataua, Savai'i), which is about 12 generations of Matautia males down to me. Samoan oratory is pure Art, i love it and the culture as a whole. Thank you for this video, it's so awesome.
Good luck dear, being Samoan is beautiful ❤
Salamasina definitely has Tongan toto Her mother Va'etoefanga youngest daughter of Kau'ulufonua 3 Tu'itonga 😊
Yes! I love the inter family connections
But the TuiTogas were actually Samoan.
@@theephraimite Tongatapu the birth place of Polynesia has the most Lapita sites in all Polynesia through Vanuatu Fisi Tongatapu 😊
@@jmjm1920 i wasn’t talking about the birthplace of Polynesia.
@@theephraimitenot true only a few the ones that married Samoan women’s and stayed in Samoa but eventually came back to Tonga.
Pullshit😅😅😅
We don't have chiefs in Australia it means nothing over here. 🤭
Yes, high chief Scotty Morrison
@@ChrisEAdlay Yes, it seems that politicians are the modern day "Chiefs" (whether at local state or federal level) in Australia
the graphics are on another level here! Absolute 🔥 🔥
❤️
Be awesome to see more of these films
Malo Aupito Aruna. Alofa atu xo
