No

@Tomasi Andrea 😆 faraaa!

omg.same

I danced for Pepjei 😂

Go Rotuma 💙

@@Seashepherd47 Its Rotuman traditional dance. Rotuman is an ethnicity of its own and stop confusing yourself with nationality. I wouldnt comment indo fijian culture when watching a itaukei meke and i wont confuse myself seeing indo fijians celebrating diwali and commenting its Fijian culture. Come on whats your problem with us rotumans being proud of our ethnicity and culture Arent you proud of your culture? or is it too boring to call for? or are you jealouse of Rotumans being proud Rotumans? i think i know. 'au muri ru se tene' te ko finaktu' maf'a We are proud natives of Rotuma so what are you a fucking wanna be? gerara here ko san paras ne komia.lmao

No they are not. THey are Rotumans from Rotuma. Some may have Tongan blood but all are Rotumans.

They are Rotumans with their own language and culture and not tongans etc. The mat does not make the person their ethnicity but makes them Proud Pacific islanders. Rotumans are polynesians and they look much alike like other polynesians around the pacific togther with their culture and language.

@Bill ray Rotuman culture is not Tongan or kaiviti. It's just Rotuman traditional dance in fiji. Fiji has indo fijians there as well, Itaukei etc with their own ethnicity and culture.

if only you know the amount of disputes they had to get tongans out of head positions in the past..then you'd know how tongan we consider ourselves

@@kavamasilagi8451 Could you elaborate?

Tia Altendorff it means thank you for dancing

Appreciation and sharing of luv and respect ✊

Iosefo Tulafono originated from the Tongans. The name of this meke is TAUTOGA.

Tu Sela wow thats so interesting! Just thought the Tongan influence was only adopted by the Lau group

very nice

Fine mats known as taktakai and armea were everyday wear before the arrival of Europeans and adoption of European dress, the tofua worn in this video by the women is also precontect, was usually worn over an old taktakai or armea to kato'agas. An apei or large fine mat were sometimes worn at funerals by mourners

Mesmerizing

Its not meke... This a Rotuman Hafa..

@@tommyx6553 thank you didnt know thought Rotuman people language was Fijian still wanderful music

@@beutilisious There are indo fijians, Rotuman and theres the ITaukei as natives of fiji islands and they have their own beautiful languages and cultures. Cheers.

@@tommyx6553 just like some outer islands are Tongan. They pass themselves off as iTaukei Fijian but they're not. We're all Fijian though. The Republic of Fiji.

@@NasinuWarrior85 Ofcoz we are all Fijians as a whole. Citizenship but when comes down to ethnicity, culture and language, its different as one Ethnic group ain’t the same Representation to another. That’s what make us proud as we have different histories and values. All we could do is be proud and respect others cultures. Cheers
