Tui sits down with Day Day to discuss the legacy of Freddie Letuli "The Father of the Fire Knife Dance". An art that changed Polynesian culture forever.
Hey, Tui hello, just want to ask you if you have a brother name Tommy? My husband is from Chicago, and his best friend is Tommy Letuli we live here San Francisco Bay Area, we've been in your Dad's house in Fogagogo, my husband and I went there to meet Tommy in 1986 I believe, that was the year Tommy came down my husband's name is Skip, he's palagi ok, Tui is a pleasure to see you and hear about your dad's legacy take and be safe
It’s crazy you say your dad left Samoa on a Yacht bc my father left Samoa on a yacht bc my he was a great deckhand. The man who owned the yacht was the Mr. Gillette (made the 🪒). Mr. Gillette ask the man at the doc if he had a good deck hand? And that’s when he had my father called to come out. My father is from Fatagogo so he was right there. He sailed to HI from Samoa. This was 1961 when he left Samoa.
