Papalagi - White Foreigners In The Pacific (1993)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Looking back at Captain Cook and the devastating effects of foreign powers on Polynesia. Introduced diseases had a ruinous effect, and generations of men were lost to slavery. Those stolen included the highborn and knowledge keepers of Rapa Nui (Easter Island), leaving an all but irreversible cultural vacuum. There are stories of a powerful conflict between ideologies, as the tools of religion, literacy, and forced governance overturned Polynesian ways of life. Interviews across Polynesia showcase people trying to revive their cultural ways and heritage while dealing with the ongoing wounds of foreign influence.

Amazing documentary, very informative 👍🏻
Agreed 👍
Awesome history lesson, thankyou from the bottom of my heart, kiaora i very much appreciated and approve this vital history into Polynesian and the coming of religion in the pacific.
Please make more on Polynesia, we all need to learn about the lessons of old.
Bless you Mona Papalii. I wouldn't have known many of these things if it weren't for this memorable piece. Again, something that wasn't taught in NZ schools in my time.
*There are many contextual impacts, both positive and negative, about colonialism. But one that stood out was a profound quote by Bishop Tutu of South Africa in one of his BBC interviews where he stated: **_"When they first came, we had the land and they had the bible! They said, 'Let us pray!' and we closed our eyes. When we opened them, they owned the land and we owned the bible!!!"_*
Wow I recognise my dear late teacher Mr Paulo in the Samoan teacher’s dance group 😢 such an intelligent and talented gentleman!
Thank you for this documentary. I was unaware and in disbelief watching. This documentary will be excellent for my grandchildren so they know of our story. Amazing documentary and thank you for sharing.
"THE PALAGI"
They Sent the navigators to discover the islands 🏝️ then the missionaries to calm the people followed by the army to control and rule them.
They take without asking!!

EXCELLENT DOCUMENTATY. TINO PAI!
OH MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF POLYNESIA, WE THE PEOPLE..
TE MOANA NUI A KIWA
PEOPLE'S OF THE PACIFIC.
So beautifully said.
Proud to be Hawaiian. Proud to be Polynesian 💯🙏🏽💪🏾🤙🏽
If you watch this movie called “THE OTHER SIDE OF HEAVEN” PART1..it shows you how they played the Tongan people using religion.It’s so fcukd up it pissed me right off!! Tried to get my partner to watch it but his ass scared of seeking the truth!! It literally shows a missionary going to Tonga on a mission..HIS MISSION WAS TO BUILD HIS GODS KINGDOM WITHIN THE TONGAN KINGDOM!! Now if that was me, and your a visitor and your mission is to build a kingdom within my kingdom..THATS A THREAT TO ME AND MY PEOPLE !!
Thats the only good thing they brought to us. Jesus is God ❤
Thank you for sharing, will be definitely watching.
You sound stupid. Go read up on our history & you will understand what motivated the first king to go in the direction that they did & not based off some Hollywood movie.
Ummmm my dear, no kingdom should be compared to the KINGDOM of GOD!
We are talking GOD here not MONARCHY 😂

All praises to the Indigenous Natives of the Polynesian Triangle.
Can any Samoan, Tahitian, Fijian, Tongan, Hawaiian, Rarotongan etc Descendant share knowledge of
(Raiatea,Marae Atea)to the days our Ancestor's sat together to talk on the affairs of the People?
Tribal Issues etc?
I'm a Descendant of Aotearoa,my children are Samoan Descendants also.
I myself would love to hear old stories of History before Colonialism happened
MAURI ORA
One would have to go to the marae that they are inquiring about ...
So, if you are interested in Raiatea, Marae Atea go & seek the local natives & elders of that marae.
They shall be able to share their stories of the marae/fanua and nu'u/villages plus islands... 🙏🙏🙏
For they are the keepers and knowledge holders of their marae... 🙏🙏🙏
Remember to be open minded, for each elder/teacher will have their version to share, for that was told & taught to them...
Alofa & Aroa Atu 🙏🙏🙏
@@chiefrocker19 MIHI NUI RANGATIRA.
Ae...go talk to the people of that Rohe.
I have sat in Wananga with my own who have been and told history of events relating to Raiatea,Taputapuatea (faraway Heaven)
I cannot find any of the korero online.. Only promotion of Tourism Etc.
Not the information I seek.
I only ask to hear other Polynesian Chief descendants to Harken to there interpretation to why we no longer sit together as Chieftains .
Holy priests etc.
Each Tribe Samoan,Fiji, Raro, Tongan etc will have there own
Story to Speak of.
I have never traveled out of Aotearoa,and most possibly won't till my people get back our own Independence.
We sit together during the Month of October the 28th.
We as a Nation are to sit and Wananga from the month of October 28th to Feb 6th
It doesn't happen as too many have forgotten or ignored there Tupuna path to free themselves from Bondage...
From Oppression.
They are comfortable in being Suppressed..
Sad but true.
The rest seek a remedy to oust these greedy leaders, Internally and Externally.
KOTAHITANGA
If there is any chieftain descendants,head of there families from our Polynesian whanau are welcome to Whakarongo,Titiro, Korero like our ancestors did at Raiatea in WAITANGI BAY OF ISLANDS.
Nau Mai Haere Mai.
Te Moana Nui a Kiwa
MAURI ORA
🙏🙏🙏
CROSS COMES BEFORE THE FLAG 🥶
Look up Thomas baker,my fellow Fijians will know,without Thomas baker bringing the gospel and the word of God,there still be cannibalism till today in Fiji,now we live a generation doing Gods will not our will so we dont make the same mistakes like our forefathers did ❤❤❤
Before the palagi brought over christianity, Did polynesians have another religion/god they prayed to? From a curious tongan
Of course we did, we worshiped many Gods of the Tahi, Fonua, weather, Christianity took off for two reasons, literacy was very much appreciated and also the Tui Tonga of the time King Tupou the 1st needed a new frame work of Hierarchy, as commoners were rising up against the Tui Tonga movement of the time. There are stories of Pacific people from across the multiple islands having Tatatau flayed off their skin, because the bible said no to markings of the sort, as you had to pray to the one new God! Catholism was particularly gruesome particularly in South America with Conquistadors, bayoneting babies if people did not convert! Christianity No 1 and Atheism No 2 are responsible for the biggest mass killings of people on earth to this day.
Tagaloaliilagi ❤
@@tonyhalalilo1My Tupuna also had many god's.
But only one Supreme.
As it is written..
PSALM 82:1
God standeth in congregation of the mighty,he judgeth among the gods.
PSALM 82:6
I have said,ye are gods,and all of you are the children of the most high.
I myself question to our people believing in not Tattooing the body.
REVELATION 19:16
Say On his thigh a name is written.
How is is written?
A scar?
A birthmark?
Or tattooed.
As in LEVITICUS 19:28
Does say not to make any cuttings or print any marks for the dead.
Self harm to one's body through a loss and grieving explains alot to that scripture.
Even though alot of books say now not to tattoo for the dead.
How about
REVELATION 7:3?
What is a seal of our God
IN their Foreheads?
144,000 of the 12 Tribes will have that seal IN
Their Foreheads.
REVELATION 9:4
Say on the lines of those without are to be Hurt.
My Tupuna held on there forehead a symbol that acknowledged the Most High.
I will not believe the White man's belief.
They have proven to lie and misled many.
They still do now in AOTEAROA.
TOKU WHAKAARO ANAKE
AIO
Yeah the most prominent being
Tangaroa/Kanaloa
Tangaroa is a Mighty Demi god ( Atua)
I tatai to a tribe (Iwi)
NGATIWAI
People of the Water.
Our Purakau/Pakiwaitara has the eldest as the prominent
TANEmahuta
Mo toku he
TMH is.
The Creater
It is very conflicting. Seems our people in the pacific were doing beautifully in alot of ways. However, we did need the revelation of the gospel of Jesus. There were/are things in our practices that were/are demonic. Seems we all could have learned something from each other. But our fallen world has never worked in harmony like that. We also cannot stay stuck in the past and punish people for the sins of the past.
amene
Sad state of affairs
As a Tongan, I’m grateful for the palangi bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the island. My family have been blessed because of it.
If your Jesus is white then you are brainwashed toko. Get that research in my g :))
The only thing good they brought was the gospel
@@eyepumapants1440Read @Siones comments properly..he didn't says that god is white🤦♂️
Wow 1 million. Hawaiians were ahead of their time
SAPAPALII 2 DA WORLD!!! 39:28
❤❤❤❤
Nukulaelae the people of Tuvalu! Malie Te Pese
Captain Cook named Tonga the Friendly Island 1773 1777 1779 after welcoming Inasi Polopolo festival in Mu'a Lapaha and what happened after the arrival of missionary and treasonous act to gain power 😅
Yeah almost taking over by the LDS
enslaved a nation of people. you don't dare speak out against god there, it is so engrained into the culture now.
Yet the word God or Gad short for Gadreel is actually Satan's given name. So everytime you say the name god your actually speaking one of the Devils many names and yet our people still continue to walk blindly and uneducated in this religion.
Soft power now days are overrated
Cant believe we excepted their evil religion and behavior..didnt take long to lighten us up either
Wow🤔
essentially why come to New Zealand, to further your Culture...!!!
They brought their version of the bible a rewritten verson of the Ethiopian orignal bible,
Papalagi???
why the question marks 😂😂
😂 Callao = “Ca ya oh” NOT “Ca lah oh” 10:19
Hateful ignorant comments regarding white people. If it wasn’t for white people (I’m Māori and pakeha) Pacific Islanders wouldn’t want to move to Aotearoa like they do, they would not receive millions of dollars in aid yearly and would not receive medical and military aid in times of need. Māori having much pakeha blood can’t complain as they themselves are pakeha as well as Maori. Ethnicity is important but humanity is more important and God is the most important!
I'm Indigenous Native of Aotearoa.
Remember the white man raped and murdered our tupuna.
If it wasn't for the white man..
We would still have our INDEPENDENCE.
Now we struggle to hold our own MANA WHENUA ,
We are DEPENDANT
On a white man's rule.
Polynesians are welcome to stay ,live on my WHENUA.
.as for the white man who floods our lands with Esau Edom European settlers can go back to there own lands.
There trickery to confiscate,take,steal our land is going to stop.
We the real people of Aotearoa are waking up
To the BS the white man sells.
Our tupuna are with us.
We stand in remembrance of them,
We look at the present to create a better future for the generations to come.
The poor and the needy,
Not the hoha and the greedy.
They are the devil the Bible speaks of.
I'm not a religious Man.
I have faith and believe,
Judgement Day is coming.
Not all Tauiwi are corrupt and greedy,
there are those that stand with with us..
They are us.
Just keep in mind,not all the wahine during the take over had a choice to seed with the devil.
They brought the church and brainwashed the people to be loyal followers.
Now in Aus I go to church and it’s just the elderly and nearly empty. It looks like they don’t want it anymore either.
Christmas and Easter is celebrated, but there’s no talk of religion. It’s just a holiday for eating prawns and drinking. So why should anyone take it so serious anymore.
Sol Invictus is what they preach.
All paganism.
The comments are not hateful or ignorant but ones truth, no sugar coating the detrimental affect Cook and his men had in the Pacific which was horrendous!!.
I have no qualms giving Pacific island nations aide!!. For we are all from the same brush...nga mihi
This isz very interesting. I always felt i was a descend of Pakeha and UK Middle east Isreal etc. i took my DNA. I thought i was only samoan 😅. Guess not.
Cost you native more then you think
But praise God, the palagi also brought to us the glorious gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Jesus was not a 'Christian'. Nor did he preach 'gospel' nor use a 'bible', that came much much later, from a range of authors, each with their version of the 'truth'. Akin to Chinese whispers, what is in the bible is distorted truth. Christianity was used as a weapon to colonise and is not something to be grateful for. Be grateful for God, yes, 100%. I am not at all grateful for palagi using 'God' as a weapon to colonise minds and hearts... 🙏🏼✨💕🌺 It is not for nothing that religion has been referred to as 'opium for the masses'.... It has a similar catatonic effect...
Now all the Polynesian faifeau standing tall puffed up with pride, taking everybody's money. It is a shame, that these faifeau are treated like GODS. They are living like KINGS on the islands. Avaku le keukusi lea o le ki a le Faifeau, ese ai le keukusi o loga kokogi mo le loku o se faiga saofa'i, ese le keukusi o loga kokogi i le faiga o le loku o se oki, kokogi loku o faaipoipoga, Yeah that Gospel brought by the palagi UA MAKIKIVA AI SAMOA I LOKU.
@@teesamataua4028 don't blame the bad behaviour of some pastors on God or the bible.... That's just the maka ai kupe heart of these corrupt fai feau's. I'm sure you know that the bible is against these wolves in sheep's clothing who take advantage of their pastoral roles, the majority of churches in Samoa are apostate. But the gospel has had a huge influence on our culture in a positive way.
I don't mix rice with salt / land a most important than sky even the vast ocean ,
So I don't mix the invasion with Jesus more than two centuries ago
The palagi used religion to colonise hearts and minds and this is not something to be grateful to them for imho. It is akin to thanking your jailor....I thought my previous comment had been removed, but it hasn't... I pointed out that Jesus was not a Christian, nor did he study the Bible? This is a book of 'events' written by many, at different times and long after Jesus was hung on the cross.... Like Chinese whispers, the 'truth' of actual events I believe has been distorted in the telling and is coloured by the perspective of each book's author... ✨🌺
