I love GREAT great grandma's singing. Wow! How old is she? My biological grandma was 104 when she passed. God bless my people of Samoa. Respect to all.
Thank you for this! Growing up I knew nothing about Samoan history and culture (I still have a lot to learn) I've only started taking interest and I honestly so emotional but also thankful for our ancestors who fought for country!❤ Lets continue to share and educate others about our history but importantly honour them who had fought long our freedom 🇼🇸
Dear, Samoans. Please forgive NZ for what the Pakeha/Palagis did to you guys back in those days. They did the same shit everywhere they went and it pissed us all off, you're not alone in this bullshit struggle.
I get so emotional and just love our people the struggles they went through to become independent and just a beautiful culture. We are a strong ppl the navigators of the pacific samoa mo samoa 💖💖💖
thank you for all these talk about the past of our beautiful Island of Samoa .now it really give me strength and courage to fight for our encestors land that these evil people took from them.it was all lies and bullying to get what they wanted .they had an agenda. I would like to see the government do something to pay respect to those who stood up for our Island and people especially Hounorable Tamasese.
Nice to see that majority of the buildings are still standing in apia!.....pride is what I feel when I watch how our people struggle and overcome!my dad was born in 1936 from manono kai,we used to sit outside our homes backinnadayz and he would just talk about old school samoa.the history, bloodline,cannibals,especially ghost stories...miss those days back home!!!!
This is what we should have in American sociology and history books instead of the false fafafine claim that fafafine is a important part of Samoan culture. It’s not part of Faasamoa at all. The mau and this rarely spoken about history of our Heros who faced these “super powers” .
Milika Afuhaamango, no, your sexual orientation is not important. Service, sacrifice and loyalty are important. It has nothing to do with sexual orientation.
@Milika Afuhaamango I don’t what you mean about them being neglected. I grew up in Samoa, and they were always accepted for who they were, despite Samoa’s strong religious beliefs. Could you give me some specifics?
@Milika Afuhaamango yes, I’ve never seen that happening in Samoa. I think saw some of those vids, and it appears to me they are not being specific at all. What exactly is being done that makes them feel unaccepted? I just want to know the specifics so I can better understand where they are coming from because, by the looks of it, it’s more like they are just repeating the rhetoric of the left in Western countries - which are all claims, but no evidence. If you can specify a few things, then I might see where you folks are coming from.
Very good overview for the laity, interestingly though, on the deportation of Namulaulu Lauaki, not wanting to split hairs here, you would deport a foreigner and you would banish into exile your fellow countryman. Just confirming the fact that Namulaulu Lauaki was not a foreigner migrant in Samoa, he was indigenous to Samoa and was banished and exiled from Samoa. Please, for the sake of posterity the correct definition be used for our ancestors, please!
Imagine if we are as many as the Europeans or a big country. We would rule the world. All my respect to my people and my ancestors who fought the Colonizers superpowers for our freedom.
ITS SAD THAT OUR ANCESTORS WHO WORKED FOUGHT AND DIED TO MAKE OUR SAMOA A BETTER PLACE FOR OUR PEOPLE IS BEING RIPPED OFF BY THEIR OWN POLITICIANS TODAY. POLITICIANS WHO TAKE THE MONEY TO LINE THEIR POCKETS INSTEAD OF WHAT IT WAS INTENDED FOR. WHY DON'T THEY MAKE THESE PEOPLE PAY FOR STEALING FUNDS INSTEAD OF TURNING AWAY AND IGNORING WHAT THEY DO? SAMOA CAN NEVER REACH ITS FULL POTENTIAL BECAUSE OF THESE HEARTLESS PEOPLE THAT STEAL MONEY FROM THEIR OWN PEOPLE. WE SHALL ALL STAND BEFORE GOD ON THAT DAY...BETTER HAVE A GOOD ANSWER.
i am looking for my brothers,we hv the same dad bt different moms.our dads name is,"Tony Togisala".my brothers mom name is "sheila".i know i hv 5 brothers by her.bt ive nvr met them.i hope to before i leave this world.💖
I hate it when people say they are proud Samoan but don't even know anything about the culture, the question is, are you really proud of been a Samoan.
You are absolutely right,but it's alright,where you born,it don't matter.SAMOAN island will your heart Represent.there something about SAMOA that i really love to hear.island are apart,but WE ARE ONE under THE ALMIGHTY HOLY GOD.😔
I’m tired of it. Who cares about anyone’s pride? Not I, that’s for sure. Samoans can be very jealous of each and would put each other down. Where then is the pride? So, you see, this pride thing is overrated.
Now days, all my generation does is use Samoas name as a an element of fear so that people don't mess with them. I'm glad to be a Samoa and glad that I can be here now to take advantage of all the stuff my ancestors fought for. Can't wait to get up to heaven and meet all of them!
Solution all Samoans east west and Tokelau ti unite into New Samoa where each state will have equal autonomy. Why have independence day when we Samoa can easily invade American Samoa as we have 3 times more people then them.
Sole you do know that the U.S the country with the most powerful military in the world have a base in American Samoa right? And the base is mostly run by American Samoans. Most of Samoans in American Samoa have been in the Military and knows how to use a gun😂. This guy talking about invading American Samoa Lol.
@@chrisa2612yes I got to agree with that but am samoans can do a referendum and vote to be one. I don't agree America would give a shit. I hope in future we can unite greater Samoa.
I love how Samoan people have so much respect .such a great people
yeyo thank you ❤

The star mounds are a little ironic because the name Leasiolangi can be interpreted as: lea (to speak) sio (to see) langi (the heavens)

@Milika Afuhaamango Samoan culture has been recognizing faafafines for centuries.

But the question is why that country😭
2019..
what about the missionaries that were beating up those Samoan people that didn't want to go to church.
i see Samoans very much like Palestinians with the difference that the aggression an abuse has become more diabolical
