The Beautiful sound of the people from the Pacific. Such Grace and Humility but where there is such things that ive mentioned, there also is an ugly side. A side a lot of people don't ever want to see. We must not forget, these guys from the islands of Samoa, Tonga and Fiji are warriors. Warriors that will put you in your place if you were to misstep your boundaries.

Lomaiviti located in the middle of the Chief Maafu's estates.For those who understands the reason for them being there enforce the links of the chief Maafu to Fiji.I am an ancestor of Maafu from Vaini but adrift in Sydney seeking the betterment of education for my siblings but when i hear the sound of Polynesia my soul longs for home
Cheers from Hastings New Zealand 🇳🇿. I'm Samoan 🇼🇸 I don't understand what they sing but what the heck. Let's dance 🕺 🤪 ♥, a merry heart is a good medicine for the soul and body.
Lomaiviti is a village in the main island of tongatapu were home for Fijian and their families, some of those guys are Fijian -Tongan , 1st and 2nd generatiòn, there church services still in Fijian language, I'm not sure if they still do but way back then when their parents and grandparents they did, I'm the same age with some of those guys singing, it's a Fijian community in the heart of Tonga

Wow. I wonder when and how lomaiviti was formed. Lomaiviti in the Fiji Islands refers to a province of islands that sit between the islands Vanua Levu and Viti Levu. Really *interesting* coming to know that there is a lomaiviti village in Tonga!
Throughout Tongan history. Fijians were our number #1 friend in the Pacific. They supplied the technology. We supplied the manpower. 1 + 1 = RUTHLESS. Koia pe! KAI VITI!

Bula, in the past our great grandfathers were the best seafarers and some of the most feared warriors of the world. We were trading, sailing across our vast ocean long before the Europeans arrived. Long before the compass arrived our sailors were using the stars, windflow and current to guide them through the biggest and most treacherous ocean (Pacific Ocean). One canoe could carry up to more than a hundred of people with cargos. We are all closely link with other Pacific islanders too. The many similarities in words, custom and our way of life is proof to this. The problem we face now is we tend to take the rivalry from the Rugby fields (as naturally proud people) too seriously into our social and other levels of interaction forgetting who we really are and our relationship since time immemorial. Lets come together as our great grandfather were doing for centuries, let's support each other, our potential are unlimited as shown by our Rugby players who are (arguably) the best in the world, lets take it further to other fields as well. God Bless us.. Vinaka.

@@alodiaschwalger3520 Tui Pulotu from Fiji ruled the whole Pacific right to Madagascar(East Africa)from the early BC/Lapita or Pulotu era to the 1st 800yrs AD.That was during the gigantic human "era" who reappeared after the flood. They were descendants of an angelic+human seed from the pre-flood land.Which is now underwater in the middle East of Fiji. After the flood,our God who rescued him nd put him in a glass made casket up in the above firmament prior to the flood.Then brought him back down to earth nd put him on the diminished allotment right next to the dissolved landmass.Thats the main power behind the ancient Pulotu Empire who ruled the Pacific at those early decades.When they started to look for other lands around the world.Which lead to the collapse of the Pulotu Empire.And the son of the last Tui Pulotu became the 1st Tui Manua of Samoa.He lead from the 800yrs AD -950 AD when the 1st Tui Tonga arose nd took over..According to the verbal history of some Tongans, the first Tui(proto-Oceanians for King) Tonga used to be in the island of Vavau instead of Tonga Tapu as it is today.And the first Tui Tonga at Vavau was the hero Tui Motuliki of Moturiki Fiji..Because he was the first king whose body was the first to be kept in the Langi na Moala tomb when He died.As the latest Tongan prince who accidentally died on a US road was kept in the same tomb.Where the earliest Tongan dead kings were kept..And Tui Motuliki was the first in there.Moturiki of old in Fiji was the best possible origin of the Pulotu Empire.Since the highest numbers of Lapita potteries found in the Pacific was found on Moturiki island With 17000 different ARTEFACTS on Naturuku site alone.That doesn't include the other findings on other ancient sites on Moturiki island. Only 92 of the 17000 resembled the ones found on other sites of Fiji.And that covered the whole 4 migratory patterns found incompleted on those other sites of Fiji.I brought those Lapita findings up,because the Tui Pulotus were kings during the Lapita era in the Oceanic region. However both of these latter Empires the Tui Manua nd Tui Tongan Empires didn't cover the whole region of the Pacific which was covered by the Tui Pulotus of Fiji..Thanks.
