Faliu le la i lona tau afiafi, le la o Samoa ua felanulanua’i
Uā felanua’i ona ave i le lagi, ioe, ta fia savalivali
Ua agi malu le tauafiafi, ina ua tuana’i atu o le la’i
Tau ane sou sei e te tiu ai, tafao ane ia ma feliuliua’i

Sāvalivali ane i le laugatasi, sasala le manogi o ā latou ‘ula laga’ali
Manaia le fegasoloa’i, lafo ia latou ata i le sami
O maia tatou mua, iā Samoa ma si ona laufanūa

Hey HGG…you ever tried to trace the ‘travel’/geneaology of the polynesian people?
where they came from and where they ended up?
Did they give u a complete story/stories? @ the cultural summit?
be interested to hear the stories !!!!
AWSOME! i too love these kinda stories, so interesting. i have yet to go through the ‘big brown book’ in our cabinet which holds samoas history before/during and after the german settlers. i gotta translate it and do a few investigating on some of the pages lol apparently there are only 2 copies of this book..both are with dads family. so yehh..with your stories / findings it could help me out..*hi5* ha-ha
loved it and cant wait for more.
Heya G… far u could’ve told me? LOL I was looking for a reason to have a ROADTRIP before I shoot!!! gosh I luv the Polynesian History, I can never get sick of listening to the stories!!! My dad has the meanest ones from yonks ago!!!
Cant wait to hear more G!
Samoan history is hella deep, the origins of where we are from…wow (i have no idea, so i’ll be following along!)
thanks Chi!
nods at you.. hey Missy HGG
well you know sometimes our history may as well be an X Files coz, as you say, there’s so many variations.. I read with interest your journey 🙂 Nice e ee e … But on a slightly different vein, it reminded me, I don’t know why, offa book I bought at the Wesley Book Shop back in Sa way back inda days called ‘Tala O Le Vavau’ .. historical stuff bout Sa herself…
blessings to your house

Haha.. okay apologies for my busy-ness (ok, and a little laziness), but this post was SOOO just a tiny little taste of everything I learned.. and have been learning.. about Samoan and Polynesian culture and history.
The problem is the more I learn, the more I realize that I don’t know.. the more curious I get.. the more information I try to cram into my brain.. the more difficult it is to categorize stuff at least enough to write about it, and then I get frustrated and never finish my posts.
But I shall persevere!! lol
Wish me luck 🙂
:o)
rock on Missy HGG…. i have four words for you:
GO YOU GOOD THANG
;o)
ha-ha GOOD LUCK!! tho i soo know what you mean…its like..excitment!! and that thirst for more. lol…u can do it!!!
luv luv luv jc
that was great write more:)
good job:)
keep it up!!
Good information about where we originated from. However, I have a version of my own that will make people think I am crazy. Some may deem it as a “faagogo.” Which ever the case may be, I would like to post it some time in the near future as food for thought for everyone to chew on it.
