The Samoan's are pretty big people, even their children! I remember working at a Daycare and there was a Polynesian family that recently moved straight from Hawaii to Maine and they dropped off their son and let me tell you, that little boy was HUGE! and only 3 years old. He was not at all overweight just really big boned and a bit bigger than the rest of the children. He was super cute though ^_^ i miss him and the rest of the kiddos.
I really like the dancing. Regardless of fame, Dwayne remembers his tradition. However, I disliked the background music from the studio. Rude and/distracting.
That raw passion for our culture that every Islander is born with. I love watching these. Malo Seiuli and a tip of the hat to your esteemed African American roots. This boy's a Savage and we couldn't be more proud. ✊✊
He's actually Black and Samoan, He holds dual citizenship in american and in Canada because he payed for the stampeder's in the nfl and he was born here in hayward
Regardless of being half Afro-American and Polynesian blood, it's soooooooooooo damn heart warming seeing "STARS" as Dwayne the Rock Johnson taking pride in his Cultural roots, having the time to promote his SAMOAN Culture to the World. I'm sure that all those women heart rate jumped up 10 bpm and now booking holiday tickets to Polynesia after seeing the Rock and the 2 Polynesian Warrior dancers!!!!!! Ha ha ha..... Well done uso..."CHEEEEEOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO"
@MUFC wow, down here in the southern hemisphere dude, we like SMASHING and Bowling people over hence why we play no HOLLYWOOD despite football players getting paid Millions....RUGBY N RUGBY LEAGUE is our game. Football is good but not to our Liking.😁👍
Im so sori to all my dear friends who replied to my comment i didnt mean to hurt anybodys feeling please im terribly sori it doesnt mean i dicriminated anybody espcially my black friends please i like anybody whether youre black or white im so so sori please let us be friends altogether again......please
kenway leviathian He is half. His father is black. And even black people be claiming him. My husband swears he is related to the rock. I'm like sure you are.
p.o.p holdin His genes would explain why he is so called "pasty". bi people and people mix with black can be light, tan or dark. It all depends on what their genes want to do. But his dad is black.
I am part Asian/Pacific Islander myself, this dance connects us to our most distant ancestral seafaring heritage..My student is Tongan she is an amazing dancer (10 yrs old).....Thank you Dawyne Johnson, my soul honour your soul, honour God our Maker, honour the Lord of Heavens for his timely rain and the fruitful seasons. Our Heavenly Father “makes his sun rise on both the wicked and the good and makes it rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Matt. 5:43-45) Mahalo my brother and may your family be safe during the difficult times we are in right now.
I've been watching many movies of him many, many times...I'm a Polynesian ancestry from Fiji (I'm Rotuman native by the way), and seeing Rock doing island style makes me feel proud of where I come from and proud of my identity and culture. Proud to be Polynesian. Faiak'sia (thank you). Love from Fiji. ❤️❤️❤️🇫🇯🇼🇸
just some knowledge though, Hawaiian did not always have only Ks (Kauai is really Taua'i according to the real Taua'i people)...even to this day you can find Hawaiians who use T when appropriate..K is big island dialect that became dominant because Kamehemeha is from there and obviously he conquered and united all of Hawaii..
Do some research about Tagata Polenisia or study history of how all Polynesians connected, as well as, why their cultures and traditional ways of doing things are similar, even similarities of languages...
@Manoa IGNORANT PPL TEACH IGNORANCE HUMAN BEINGS WHO DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING UNLIKE YOURSELF, AREN'T IGNORANT UNLESS THEY CHOSE TO NOT ACCEPT A PROVEN FACT OR TOLD TO BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY....AS IN, THE CORPORATE MEDIA. ELSEWISE CUT PPL SOME SLACK GENIUS, WE CAN BE CORRECTED.
Even the smaller built Samoans have muscle definition or thick muscles lol and I'm also talkin bout the really skinny ones. Pretty much u never see a scrunny Samoan. Theres a difference so I agree with u
@@AreLL but he understands Samoan language and can speak a few Samoan words coz he was born outside Samoa..he's proud to be Samoan learning his culture..I don't care whether he's half what..all we know that he's got Samoan blood and he's soo proud of it
Love and greetings from Papua New Guinea and the land of Melenesians to you all Polynesians out there and also not forgetting my Micronesians families too..❤❤❤
Feels AMAZINGLY GOOD to be two parts NATIVE AMERICAN: Cherokee ((mother's side)) & Lakotah Sioux ((father's side))🌜🌞🍂🎤🎸🎹🎵 Great performance!!! L💙VED it completely. P.S. After 20 years of being a HUGE fan.......I can still ´´Smell What The Rock Is Cooking´´°°°°°°°and it smells GOOD!!!!!!!
The dance is known as "The HAKA" in and from the Polynesian Islands/Pacific Triangle! That was a shorter and calmer version. #Cheeeheee #HAKA #PolysCanDanceToo #ImFromHI
What are people talking about, the facial expressions MAKE THIS DANCE!!! They're perfect for the song and the whole vibe and remind me of the Polynesian dance which name I forget rn and It FITS
My maternal grandad mother is the sister of the father of Dwayne the Rock Johnson adopted maternal grandmother, they were both born and raised in the village of lalomanu, at the southern point of Upolu, the main island of Samoa 🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
This is polynesian? Really? It looks Bavarian... But our men don't look this sexy. Maybe of all the beer. 🍻😂😂😂 This wasn't Haka but it looks awesome. Lots of love to Polynesia! ♡♡♡
As a Samoan I love doing traditional dances. I look up to Dwayne and get more confidence every time I see him doing these dances. You guys should search up different types of traditional dances from Samoa. Dwayne if you see this: o lo’u tama o Joedacy😎
I have a feeling some people still think the Polynesian culture/race is a Black/Asian culture/race(based on some comments). It's not, it's unique just like native Americans and Guinea and Australian. There is no close substitute.
I don't think it matters too much to non-polynesians. Polynesian culture is quite diverse. I'm Maori and most of our types of dances aren't really as joyful as the other polynesian dances.
Brain Fart 😂🙈 you plastic hawaiians need to stop claiming our staff, first of all the rock is african canadian samoan also that cheehoo cheer is originated from samoa it's called the fa'aumu its a chant that we samoans usally use to indimitate our enemys during a warcry and that fire knife dance is also originated from samoa it's called siva afi!*_tattooing also wich represents our identity..so hawaii has pretty much lost their culture due to influence of american lifestyle so you's rely on other pacific islands like samoa to put you guy's on the map when it only come's to culture***im pretty sure your not even a islander as well😑😕 im samoan and i know my roots!!!..so come talk to me when you can hask a coconut first braddah 😂🙈plastic one...

I get it
ArabsLOOKlikeOsama Sandmonkey I think you mean Very Muscled :P
There’s a difference between Fat and Muscle
(Maui from Moana for example)
I really like the dancing. Regardless of fame, Dwayne remembers his tradition.
However, I disliked the background music from the studio. Rude and/distracting.
David Edwards I thought he is Samoan?
Thank you. It's like "heres a taste of our polynesian culture." Wow, nice. *plays bust a move in the background*
Prometheus Venom he’s half Samoan
Prometheus Venom He is. Many Samoans have lived in Hawaii and vice versa.
Yea I didn’t like that shit either very disrespectful.
I feel like Polynesians are one of the most toughest people in the world 💪😀
Julia Gonzalez they are
we are baby. no doubt
Just Like Latino People...
Girl you got it right 💪
As a samoan im the most sexiest samoan boy you will ever seen......
I love The Rock!!!! He can be absolutely hilarious, yet serious at the same time!!!
Same here legend

the Rock is Samoan. Not Hawaiian unlike the description says. it's still polynesia but the countries are different.
Noor Arjmand hes african american and samoan
Tom Rain I don't know that calling her "a racist piece of shit was entirely necessary"
Tom Rain how am i racist when all i said was he is black to
Heaven Porterfield actually he's black Nova Scottian. Hence why he is a citizen of both the U.S. and Canada.
He's actually Black and Samoan, He holds dual citizenship in american and in Canada because he payed for the stampeder's in the nfl and he was born here in hayward

@MUFC wow, down here in the southern hemisphere dude, we like SMASHING and Bowling people over hence why we play no HOLLYWOOD despite football players getting paid Millions....RUGBY N RUGBY LEAGUE is our game. Football is good but not to our Liking.😁👍
He hates his black side he stays away from it so WRONG
As you may didn't know, that Rock's father, Rocky Johnson (correct me if I'm wrong) was Canadian of African ancestry.
Are you Polynesian?
I love how Dwayne Johnson remembers his roots and tradition.
My late Father looked up to him. And now, I'm following in my Father's footsteps till this day and forevermore.
The Samoan dance called faataupati or slap dance wow wow wow so beautifull .......you nailed it
Im so sori to all my dear friends who replied to my comment i didnt mean to hurt anybodys feeling please im terribly sori it doesnt mean i dicriminated anybody espcially my black friends please i like anybody whether youre black or white im so so sori please let us be friends altogether again......please
@@puiaifonofilileota5428 apology accepted......
I just Fell in Love with Dwayne all over again. Simply because he is representing his culture so strongly. It truly resonates with me.
Dwayne Johnson, Manu Bennett, Jason Momoa and Nicole Scherzinger are my favourite celebrities from Polynesians (Samoan).
As a Chamorro (from the island of Guam 🇬🇺 ) I think it’s amazing that we have The Rock to spread awareness of Pacific Islander culture ❤️❤️
Biba Guahan!
I’m glad he is so proud of his culture/ origins
That moment when all the Samoans think The Rock is their uncle😂😂😂 HAHAHA that was me lol but proud to be Samoan🇼🇸🙌🏻 cheeeehoooooo
p.o.p holdin it down I'm samoan and that's true af
p.o.p holdin it down i thought he was black
kenway leviathian He is half. His father is black.
And even black people be claiming him. My husband swears he is related to the rock.
I'm like sure you are.
Ash M I thought his dad was white. Explains why he's pasty
p.o.p holdin His genes would explain why he is so called "pasty". bi people and people mix with black can be light, tan or dark. It all depends on what their genes want to do.
But his dad is black.
Luv this man and his attitude towards others!! He is the Perfect role model for the youth of today!!
Eve Alex not that it matters
Yeah, especially when he's talking about inventing a child molesting robot, right? 😕

really rocky you gotta oil up for 30 secs with your shirt off lol
Allan Mccann Yes! It's cultural not just showmanship. Oil symbolizes purity
Right teasing us with all that sexiness.
I did not know that, Mia!
Then why didn’t the other guys do it lol
TwiztedJuggalo25 because they don't have too.

Mahalo my brother and may your family be safe during the difficult times we are in right now.
I love it when The Rock and Jason Mamoa put their culture on display. I'm STILL waiting for them to do a movie together!!🤞🤞
Well looks like you’re getting your wish in the next fast and furious movie
I've been watching many movies of him many, many times...I'm a Polynesian ancestry from Fiji (I'm Rotuman native by the way), and seeing Rock doing island style makes me feel proud of where I come from and proud of my identity and culture.

I'm part Samoan and tibetan but more of tibetan body I wish I have that Samoan body love for all the uso proud to be Samoa
Native Hawaii? He's Samoan. Hence the T's in the language he was just speaking.
just some knowledge though, Hawaiian did not always have only Ks (Kauai is really Taua'i according to the real Taua'i people)...even to this day you can find Hawaiians who use T when appropriate..K is big island dialect that became dominant because Kamehemeha is from there and obviously he conquered and united all of Hawaii..

Polynesian people are some of the most beautiful people they are always happy
They are very tall and most of them are natrually built like body buliders most do not use steroids
False
Well we samoans do have steroids but its called Taro and corned beef.....it what makes you big
Even the smaller built Samoans have muscle definition or thick muscles lol and I'm also talkin bout the really skinny ones. Pretty much u never see a scrunny Samoan. Theres a difference so I agree with u
@@rarebreed6713 i think their big boned
Back in the island well yes, the ones who live off their plantations yes. But the ones who live off processed food from outside the island then NO.
There a Samoan man the rock.......so proud of you Mr Dwaine Johnson
Raiders stop! We know he's African American. Get it right... he's mixed. Afakasi meuli. So you need to get it right.
Same thing, 99% of the blacks from Nova Scotia originate from the U.S. and fled to Canada during slavery in the U.S.
Half Black Half Somoan
puiai leota he doesn't even speak Samoan. Using our culture when it benefits him. 💰 💰
@@AreLL but he understands Samoan language and can speak a few Samoan words coz he was born outside Samoa..he's proud to be Samoan learning his culture..I don't care whether he's half what..all we know that he's got Samoan blood and he's soo proud of it
Just when I thought I couldn't adore Dwayne Johnson more than I already do!
My heart beats for this guy 😍

But our men don't look this sexy. Maybe of all the beer. 🍻😂😂😂
This wasn't Haka but it looks awesome.
Lots of love to Polynesia! ♡♡♡
yes its polynesian u dummy
I smell what your cooking rock
That tribal dance is called "Samoan fire and slap dance"
William T correction! Siva afi or Nifo Oti and the Fa’ataupati.
As a Samoan I love doing traditional dances. I look up to Dwayne and get more confidence every time I see him doing these dances. You guys should search up different types of traditional dances from Samoa.
Dwayne if you see this: o lo’u tama o Joedacy😎
God , the rock is gorgeous , best looking man on tele 🥰
The lady at 00:58 looks like the female version of THE ROCK!!! 😂
Read low key
The Rock use the howl in Hobbs & Shaw
I have a feeling some people still think the Polynesian culture/race is a Black/Asian culture/race(based on some comments). It's not, it's unique just like native Americans and Guinea and Australian. There is no close substitute.
You know Dwayne Johnson, father is African/ American, his mother Samoan and father is black. If you didn't know now you know.
Captivating!
Oooh Lord, ummmm, how did I miss this back in the day!
Me thinking dwayne is huge, samoans say nah hes less then average that skinny lil b...
Siva samoa/Fa'ataupati🤘
CHEEEEEHOOOOOO 🇦🇸💪🏾
I literally want to become famous just to show off how amazing our Polynesian cultures are.
I could watch that all night
Ayyee isn't that samoan ?? The two guys had the Samoan tatau ??
I don't think it matters too much to non-polynesians. Polynesian culture is quite diverse. I'm Maori and most of our types of dances aren't really as joyful as the other polynesian dances.
