Hearing them sing pese o le tatau like that and siva o le siapo makes me wish we still sang like that in all samoan communities.
As a Samoan/Polynesian I enjoyed this film because it was a realistic portrayal of the people of the South Pacific and showed their own abundance of resources . Unlike others Polynesians have existed for thousands of years and existed without all the assistance of others. Their navigational skills, home building which I hope someone will take up as a film, and complexity of their own cultures without worldly influences. They created their own world .
Polynesian were derived from Austronesian.
@thomasthecommentrater3703 There news about Polynesians traveling to Taiwan to trace their root.
@@mrphantom8608 Polynesians are their own people 🙄..Austronesian is not the full makeup of Polynesian🤦🏻♀️..such a ignorant comment and understanding of anything 😒
I miss these days of truth in our real culture nowadays some do it for belonging and it looks religious but respect love and blessings to all my people that stand strong still today my warriors of the pacific in truth love and unity love yous all FAAVAE LE ATUA! SAMOA MO SAMOA 🇼🇸 ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing Samoa Media NZ! I remember watching these series when I was younger. Will you be uploading the other episodes?
You can see where the polynesian triangle starting point is, the ancestors of all polynesians today came from Samoa&Tonga. Very interesting history
You are right, it's mixing off.the toto with tauiwi that's where denial and the Bull shit comes in 😮
Samoa is a rich culture. Proud to be. ..🙏🏽
I miss visiting samoa and watching my nana weave mats a tradition that needs to carry on
So good to see this gem
I definitely feel the connection to my land❤ Fagali'i, Tutuila American Samoa❤
Chhhheeeeehhooooooo Samoa Muamua Le Atua! ❤️🇦🇸🇼🇸
Kalofa e isi o'u tama Letelema'ana Fuga miss you dad may you rest in peace 💔💔💔
Yes for all three of my kids gifts were given and shared amongst our families! As well as extra traditions for example duties of the mothers brothers as well as the fathers duty to his sister 🇹🇴
Samoa is the cradle of Polynesia, and the heart of the Pacific
Yep the oral traditions from all Polynesians start off at Savai'i. We're all one people ♥️
Tagata Mao'i
Kanaka Maoli
Tangata Maori
Ma'ohi etc
not all. Just some. @@BarHawa
I would say rapanui s da start of Polynesians.. When the first time east meets west which gave us da lighter skin, from the melanesian etc
Fiji is the heart of the pacific.
@@BarHawaSavai’i? 🤷🏾♂️ how? When? Since when? A lot of Savaii History falls under the Tui Tonga…🤷🏾♂️
I never knew a placenta looked like that. It’s so much it’s a bag of blood! I’ve never seen one. Didn’t really expect that as the intro to this video lol
Great content👏🏽rare footage. Thanks
This is one of the best way I can understand it well done good to know 👏👏🙏
It s amazing this burial of the placenta is also practiced by the Malays in malaysia
In Samoa, they used to bury placenta in the ground and they would plant a coconut, a breadfruit etc in that place so it will grow and be fruitful, just like they wish the baby to be as they grow up!
We came from the same family tree
Our Austronesian family ❤
13:40 is 100% right. Fiti doesn't mean Fiji Islands. It is talking about Rotuma. A trade took place between the Samoan travellers and the Rotumans whereby the Samoans gave the Rotumans their "tree of life" and the Rotumans gave them the tattoos. If you can find the early drawings of Rotumans then you'd find the tattoos in the same areas only their tattoos were different. It contained birds and animals etc,...
It's not only in your songs but also in our knowledge passed down generations. Just as our original language has changed, don't expect every Rotuman to know this piece of history.
No Fiti is talking about Fiji because that is what Sa calls Fiji and even a word such as Togafiti exists to show the relationship they had since ancient times that meant trickster but literally means Tonga and Fiji. And the story of the tatau coming from Fiji is accurate because in the islands of Fiji only the women received the tattoo not the men and Fiji and Samoa as well as Tonga has been interacting with each other since ancient times and share blood
❤❤❤
In Samoa the placenta of a girl is buried outside doorway of house so she will grow up to be a wife. Placenta of a boy is buried on the beach so he will grow to be a fisherman.
🙏❤👏
Its crazy how similar our languages are.

AUSTRONESIAN PRIDE RIGHT HERE
Seh!, if you not Pacific Islander or Polynesian..this is not about you
Im six and a half hours in and aint seen any sign of tattoos
Not gods. The God.. Le Atua
SAMOA TATAU ORIGINAL FROM FITIUTA,MANU'A.FIJIAN GOT NO RELATION TO POLYNESIAN PEOPLE TIL 3500 BC.
Fiji is Polynesian as well culturally and linguistically, and has had relationships with Tonga and Samoa since ancient times. The tattoo is likely to come from Fiji because only the women would be tattooed and it was done by the women and not for/by the men
Aw, that's a lot of gobble wash
Samoa is the cradle of Polynesia
Thank God for the good news of Jesus Christ that saved some of us from our paganism.
