Very much the same all over the Polynesian Islands ee.Very rich culture , Sunday the same ,the day of Going to churches ,eat n rest , prepared the whole meal for the day. It's God day , Thanks for sharing from your neighbor island , TONGA ,Love the Samoan ,our Pacific Islander's.
Kirah Manusamoa I feel very uneducated and slow right now. With what’s going on with North Korea, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, im just learning about this US territory, American Samoa. That’s so embarrassing. I live in the mainland, in the state of South Carolina, and we didn’t even get taught about all of the part of the US territories when I was in school. The land here and the scenery looks so beautiful here
Nella J that’s because American Samoa is miles and miles away from USA. Hawaii is closer to USA. American Samoa is an American territory except their main islands who are right next to them are independent called, Samoa. Samoa is their independent country, American Samoa is under USA.
Magaia le umu a gai taule'ale'a. Malo lava fa'afetai! I missed the umus on Sundays and missed the traditions. There's nothing like the Samoan cultural! I'm proud to be Samoan!
Wow... remind me of the good old days, this is wat we use to do every Sunday..good life...respect your eldest especially your parents and you will be blessed...
Pro One Indonesia the rock’s mother is actually from Samoa, which is their independent country. American Samoa is not Samoa just different islands and the fact that American Samoa is under USA. Samoa is not. Same people though.
I miss the aroma of fresh cook ulu, palusami, taoipu, and taro from the umu on Sunday mornings. Also the fagu miki with sliced onions. Yummy yummy. From Mae Sapolu Brown--Windsor in Hawaii
Faafetai lava mo le video. This video humble me because it brings back memories when I grew up in American Samoa. I left Samoa when I was 16 1/2 years old ,moved to America and now I have a family of my own with my half palagi kids. We sometimes forget where we came from or how we grew up that makes you who you are today. The Samoan way without a doubt is one of the toughest way of life but very humble lifestyle that no American life ever measured up to.I used to blame and hate my dad for a long time for being too rough and abusive to us when we were young and now having a family of my own I look back and I appreciate it now how my dad was racing us to make me a better person and a strong independent individual because of the way my dad taught me. I know now and realize it that that's the only way my father know how to race and discipline us when we were kids. I thank him for bringing us to America for better life despite all the tough life that we had in Samoa. I will forever grateful for the effort and the determination that my father strive to bring us to America for better life after our mother passed away. I will share this video with my American Wife(Palagi) and my half Samoan kids forever . Thank you again for sharing this video because this will bring back good memories and to remind myself who I am and where I'm from.
Fisi i le gaifi le kalo a le kamaloa. Mea ga ka'u o le Samoa polo. just kidding. No swimming on Sundays only on Mondays.lol. Beautiful Video. Proud to be Samoan.
Jefferson Murphy Paulis I'm Malay and we look the same and get along the same way. We call it the spirit of gotong royong where everyone comes together and get things done together, eat enjoy and have a good time together with families and close friends and this strengthen the bond we have as families. We have been urbanised but the spirit stays the same. Greetings from Singapore.
Thanks Malay for your encouraging words. It is indeed a beautiful family-oriented culture we share :) Hope we continue to strengthen it by teaching, encouraging and showing our young ones the importance of our culture by making a good living example for them. Greetings from Pohnpei, Micronesia :)

Untitled means the men have not been bestowed a chief title from the village/family and as stated by someone else, are the lowest ranking members of the village/family. However both untitled men and young women contribute to helping out, men are in charge of cooking however as the umu is done outside and women are generally in charge of serving the food and cleaning up.
@Eileen, it's not ignorance at all, it's an honest and educational question. TD was right, it means they have not received a Chief title yet. It's usually the men with no titles as well as young men and boys that do the chores and cooking during a family get together.
Everybody contributes to the well being of the entire family. Just because you're the Chief doesn't mean you get to sit on your ass and do nothing.The Chief has the most important job of making sure everyone is taken cared of and delegating family duties. "Untitled Men" are the backbone of Samoan Society.
Lol Definitely cleaned. Don't think you can eat anything cooked with guts intact.🤮🤮 Where did you think the hot rocks went when they were putting them in🤣
Looks like Wallis and Futuna ( French Colonies) .....Their life is like ours as Pacific Islanders ( New-Caledonia, Vanuatu, Solomon Island, Papua New Guinea, West Papua, Fidjii and so on...)
@@laionemeihetahikoulakanate9515 Why so rude they were only saying it looks similar. Makes sense since Philipines is made up of islands. Mafaufau muamua ae lei tautala i na upu ua too negative please🙏 send love, not hate ❤️
Do american samoan and western samoa are living the same culture and traditions? If it is the same why did they separated by nation? Sorry , im not samoan and love to know about the cultures over there
American Samoa was part of the Samoan Islands. Long story short, colonisation happened like everywhere else, the US took American Samoa while I think German (colonizing power in Samoa at the time) held on to main Samoa. Now Samoa is independent but American Samoa is still a colony of the US.
What was the Samoan spiritual belief system before the white people imposed Christianity on the people? Beautiful singers...like the Phillipino people.
R K They praise the sea the sky and their Gods were their surroundings. I think they are still living like that Til now, but Christianity and different religions has a big part right now due to the invasions.
They praise Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour, not the sea and the gods, that's the olden days when samoa use to praise to the sea to their god called tagaloa not today, Samoa believe in God The Almighty
you and your people seem like great people. what do your people think white people. Americans. an honest answer would be appreciated. you will not hurt my feelings
i dont speak for the many but growing up i was raised to believe samoans don't care what color u are, if u are a quest we prepare a welcome feast..white black orange or purple, we are family oriented. but if u want to go the oposite route we can happily show u the way
We are not a part of the Continental U.S.A. We are 3000 miles from the Hawaiian Islands. Half of Samoa is called American Samoa because we've been a Territory of the United States since the year 1896. The other half was under Germany then New Zealand rule until it gain its Independence in 1963 and is now The Independent country of Samoa.
@@avilik13 I think it was your comments that I saw on that video about Polynesian Migration, where we come from. If it's you then my hats off to you for all that research and knowledge. It was educational and pretty Interesting learning.
He hasn't been many places if he thinks having a family orientated culture is 'unusual'. Lol!! The vast majority of cultures are very family orientated
Was the Christianity original religion that samoans followed??? Isn't it the religion of usurpers, the colonial masters??? When these people will go back to their roots, instead of clinging onto the westerners ideology of religion, tradition, beliefs and practices????

Forgive my ignorance but what does it mean when a man is called and "untitled man?" Are there "untitled women" too? Thank you.
Eileen Schuller it means that they want to be anon
Eileen Schuller it means the workers pretty much the lowest rank in the family they must do all works around the village not so much for the ladies
Untitled means the men have not been bestowed a chief title from the village/family and as stated by someone else, are the lowest ranking members of the village/family. However both untitled men and young women contribute to helping out, men are in charge of cooking however as the umu is done outside and women are generally in charge of serving the food and cleaning up.
