- DEDICATED TO OUR USO NAVY TUIASOSOPO
This is the first of many short film documentaries that celebrates polynesian culture, art, film, music, athletics, and history through a contemporary lens.
We take small peeks into the lives of polynesian people from all over the world in their quest to succeed, live free, survive, and be happy.
Interviews mixed with short musical films come together to create a unique and semless blend of non fiction & fictional stories to illustrate the faith, humility, spirituality, determination, and success each of us posess.
"The hopes and dreams of our people, rest in the eyes of our children".- SEA OF HOPE
AN UPCOMING FILM BY HAGOTH AIONO
Don't let anyone break the bond! Samoa, Tonga, Tokelau, Fiji, Tuvalu, Maori, Rapa Nui, Hawaii, Niue, etc. all one people!
💯👏🏻💪🏼☝🏻
Samoa is the Penina o le VASA!!!! Love the Vid! Samoa is not only the Sacred Center! It is a launching point for future NFL greats! Also much love to the USO's in Upolu who is also making noise in Rugby! Dot on the map, but known all over the world!
I remembered this camp when they came to the island. I was a sophomore. Most of this kids are in college football and some are in the NFL
For God and For Country... Thats what sets polynesians apart from the rest of the world.. Dropped a tear to the Ia Pepese church song at 1.44. :)
""Faafetai i lona alo, lena afio mai luga, le ua fai ma faapaolo, mai le puapuaga... Ia pepese ia pepese, aleluia faafetai, ia pepese ia pepese, aleluia faafetai"""

wow never realized there are so many brown fellas in the states! I'm a poly living in nz and rugby is the sport everybody plays, pasifika is the annual festival that embraces our culture for the world to see (biggest poly fest in the world) and yes we are 1!
In the States the polys are well known for playing football and being HUGE! There's a joke that teams say "You're only as good as how many Samoans you have on the team"
Samoa MoSamoa i remember yoooooou. you think taeyang's gay. lol. x)
BrinkersMad We have pasifika in the states too, or at least in my state, but probably not as big the as the one in NZ, but it's amazing to see such indigenous people come together as one, and share the love of each culture.

@S10NE500 I Be representin' Hawai'i from my dad and Fa Samoa from my stepmom side. Polynesian Power til the end.
Im a mixed race, my grandpa is Irish-Jew and my grandma is African-Samoan, I was born in Western Samoa, and raised in American Samoa. Theres something very, very, important that our children needs to know, Us Pacific Islanders,The Rapa Nui people, which refers the our people, the Pacific Islanders, are the descendants of our Ancestors, the (Native American People), we are now mixed with (Africans and Europeans).
sick!
Chuuur vid! Much love from NZ! x
Thanks for the vid Hagoth.looking fwd to seeing more work frm u. Next time don't get ur camera wet .. Lol good job bro
Awesome job on the video short.....I hope you enter it in several film festivals.....
What program did you edit with? FCP?
Malo!
POLAMALUUU!!
Much love to my Polynesian people.. I noticed its only the younger dumber generations with no knowledge of our history that goes around and down talks other Polynesians.. Polynesians are 1 people. The only thing that separates Polynesians is them having different lands. As they separated from different tribes to colonize more land the language and culture "slightly" changed but that's it.
Much ups Troy!
thanks brother I found out like a week ago haha. sweet track
Coming from the beautiful island of American Samoa
The song is called Indigenous Life by Fiji.

respect all Polynesians. who knows the last song. I thought it was j boog. I don't think so though
Fiji - Indigenous Life
wats the songs that are played?
Our Ancestors, (The Native Americans) settled the Pacific Islands before the Europeans & the Africans got there. Now, we r mixed with Africans and Europeans. The Europeans, change the name of our Islands, from Rapa Nui Islands to Easter Islands, Europeans discovered our Rapa Nui Islands on Easter Sunday noon, so, now, they named it, Easter Islands.&, then they labelled our Islands, Polynesia, Melanesia, Marshall, Cook, Solomon, Indo, Micro etc. So, our children need to learn about our history.
William Collins no lol Polynesians have Melanesian and Asian admixture ... Eastern Europeans came much later .... You wouldn't find a white Samoan back then like you can now
What's the song called haven't heard that in for ever lol
@hikurukutai why dont you come to a samoan football team and say it to there faces?
Thumbs up if Troy Polamalu's Twitter sent you!
@hikurukutai stop hating hori!
I called my friend samoan and he got really piised off. Told me he was tongan and to never call him samoan ever again.
No hate plz.....
#POLYMOVEMENT
@lazysili indigenous life by fiji.
Are they Black white&Indian ?.......
They're Sāmoan
African,asian and eastern european.
+Mae Bird Samoan
Mae Bird Samoan, which have black (Melanesian) and Asian admixture, so do Tonga and Fiji each individual have different levels of admixture why some look more Asian than others/some look more Black than others
Originally dark skinned people now mixed, and brown.
Please don't hate on Maoris or Samoans people. Being that I'm half Samoan and Maori...we all smell the same..........smell like $! Holla!
Yep according to genetic studies, among other things.....though I must say some native americans kinda look poly but yeah apparently they originally came from northeast asia, across the land bridge tens thousands of years ago, I guess thats why the ainu? in japan, and those indigineous peoples in taiwan look a lot different to a lot of other asians. I think hes also refering to the kon tiki raft thing that was sailed from south america.
WHO'S THE HOTTIE @ 3:09
why dont they pay rugby insteed? rugby would be bigger then, and looks like they havent the same attidude like in NZ or australia..
Fiorini.B nfl pay more than rugby.
aye you guys can sue national geographic for taking the name Sea of Hope...
