To those complaining about the cheering and “screaming” In the Samoan culture, MY culture, this is called a fa’aumu. It is used for many things, and one of them is to express your happiness and cheer. Just because you do not understand it does not mean you have to bash it.
@@aloha_oe311 i disagree..to be honest with you it would be like this if the government implemented Polynesian culture in school system. My parents struggles through so much just to put food on the table and learnd the American way,mind you, in the United States of America not everyone knows or heard of my culture i would say "40%" of the country knows or understand a little about where I'm from..juss so you know..but thanks NZ for appreciating my culture.
because By 1691, the population of indigenous Americans had declined by 90-95 percent, or by around 130 million people. You get to have some free land after everything was raped and pillaged
Bruv, would love to add a simple understanding from an American. I was taught about the natives struggles and was shown the culture regularly in school. I hike trails carved by the Powhatan on the Chesapeake, thinking what this ground was like before me. But I can’t celebrate their culture or express it because it is considered culture appreciation.

Leah Milo yes because Tonga is Tongafisi meaning half Polynesian half melanesian, the ha'amoanga tomb stone in TongaTapu is a gateway between Samoa and Fiji after the Ancient war of Tui Pulotu empire of Fiji and Tui Manu'a empire of Samoa then later Tu'i Tonga, FIJI TONGA and SAMOA history is very interesting, trust me search up (TUI PULOTU) (TUI MANU'A) (TU'I TONGA)
@@tagaloasroyallinesheartofp3478 .The Tu'i Pulotu is believed to be the head of an ancient group of people that settled in Pulotu (Fiji) during the Lapita period (2500 BC to 3500 BC.) The Island of Pulotu is an island located in Fiji, north-west of Tongatapu. It is referred to in Tongan oral traditions as "the motherland" or "place of origin". It is there that some believed that Tongan culture and its people developed and evolved out of the ancient Austronesian/Lapita culture (c. 1600 BCE - c. 500 BCE) that migrated from south east Asia through Taiwan, the Philippines, PNG, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji about 8000 BC.
I’m American and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this video. 1:19 never ceases to give me chills. Genuinely every time I watch it. That crowd is just so hype to see brothers of all colors honoring the islands with their harmonies. Beautiful.

Bula vinaka my brothers and sisters isa so nice to hear the 3 Island blend together....from a beautiful Samoan hymn to a fast Tongan song and ends lovely Fijian Gospel hymn....much love from the Island Of Fiji✌
As for me Trevor Philips, this was a very singing from all cultures, Samoa,Tonga,Fiji.And never forget any other culture like Hawaii,Maori,Micronesian we are all one.
Fiji Tongan slowly but surely they're making a comeback culturally. As for their people and their blood? They can't comeback from that deficit unless Hawaiians only mix with Hawaiians.
Sad us Hawaiians had to suffer the worst. A 95% extinction. But over the past 50+ years there has been a major revive in life and language and theres only up from here.
Hawaii is one of da most well known places what are u talking about if there's a tsunami that happened there. Then th USA will give like millions of dollars, but in Samoa,Tonga,Fiji,NZ we get money for it but Hawaii gets like heaps us we get money from NZ,Australia even Dwayne johnson donates to the Pacific. So what I'm trying to say is none of our islands are fading away were staying here good the Hawaiis not gone yet.
I am so overwhelmed with this music and their voices. This is my first time hearing this kind of song! my heart is pumping and my eyes had tears! as a chorister, I wanna learn this kind of song too! Bravo!
I really couldn't stop the smile that took over my face when the haole boy led the Fijian hymn. Mahalo nui loa for sharing this video it was so beautiful 🤙🏽💕
The song in my view is pasifika life on a daily basis. Starts of slow and peaceful then gradually upgrades to the hype of island life then we close by giving thanks back to our creator.

You will 100% not regret it if you do. Just watching this video brought me into tears knowing my time there has long been finished. But I'm proud of the boys that hold the school to high standards, whether it be in academia, the fine arts or even sports. Doesn't surprise me that Dilworth exceeds its potential and expections year after year. As an old boy, I can confidently say my mum made the best decision to send her 3 boys there, and trust me you won't either.
Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Tuvalan, Niuean, Kiribatian, Maori, WHATEVER we are all Polyneisans and Micronesians and Melanesians we all stand together.
Wonderful
One Love, One Ocean, One big family
In New Zealand, yes. Australia & US? No.

It’s just that we really, really want to hear every note of this incredibly beautiful music! The harmony is exquisite! They’re amazing!!!
@ggrace1133 it is also part of the performance as well. In some of our cultural songs it's also done during the song.
Can I get a "Che-hoooooo?"
We need this in schools in Australia man!!! Period! This made me so proud to be islander! ❤️
MLTT respect
YESSSS !!!! omg thats so true 😫if only schools in aus did this it would be mean as 😍
Be harder than in NZ...but definitely not impossible
Some kids look to be mixed
Hopefully
Glad to see the palangi blending in. Wonder how America would have been if they had acknowledged and supported the natives than suppressing them.
Fiji Tongan too many uneducated over there that they would feel threaten by it, mainly because they feel so entitled about everything.
