The Matavai Cultural Arts Group performing the Siva Tatau for the IUCN World Parks Congress celebrating the arrival of Mua Voyage canoes in Sydney. 12/11/14 Music: The Golden Ali’is: Tatau A Samoa
Yes. Every Samoan knows this. The tattoo starts with the Canoe (not ship). The canoe is across the back, then followed by ocean and fish symbols the all the way down to the knees. Every symbol has its meaning but the canoe is the most prominent across the back. It's like a pictorial history of seafarers braving the oceans. The canoe is simbolic cos its what carried them their their islands..very important in the Pacific Islands
That old man took off his ie lavalava has no brain at all. Thats not supposed to happen coz its not a fiafiaha as a whole. Kauvalea uma ai Samoa i le leai o se faia'i.
