I am married to a Samoan man. He always told me that they would never give up their land. That's why they didn't end up like Hawaii. They have kept their culture alive to this day. They are true Warriors. Families and culture are very strong and come first at all aspects. They are true Warriors. I am proud to say that my sons have Samoan blood in them. FA'A SAMOA.

Very proud to be Pacific islander. Surendered by Beautiful Pacific Ocean. When I see this document of Samoan people and culture and history makes me share tears. Very sad to watch whites who spoilt Samoa. As I think about my country which has 1200 different languages and thousands of cultures God gave us Polonysia, Micronesia and Melenisians in this part of the globe. We must love, respect, share each other in anything we do together. By country to country in sharing wealth together. When I watch our PACIFIC Island Boys play in world cup Rugby League.. I feel real great proud and love them as our boys play each other. After game they pray and sing our Pasifika Song Praise God we are Pacific Islanders. We will live as Islanders. I am Papha New Guinean. LOVE YOU ALL . Be strong and love each other.

Those slave ships came with slaves from Africa, NZ/Australia via the Pacific islands on the way to south America mainly Peru then slaves spreaded out to other neighbouring countries.

Its a truly shame of invasion and then their entertaining them, as they walk around as though they are some great nation. You guys (Samoans) have your identify of who you are and that is great.

Samoa is an independent nation that runs its own government. And about 80% of the land is customary land owned by Samoan families. The other 20% is own by the government and freehold land. About customary land, they don’t pay taxes on their land because the government doesn’t own it, probably unlike any other country in the world. Samoan families can’t seek their land because is against customary laws. Samoa has one of the most ancient cultures and traditions in the world to this day. “Fa’aSamoa” is the way Samoans think, speak, and act. Europeans had the hardest time challenging the “fa’aSamoa” which eventually led to Samoans taking back control of its own country. Fa’aSamoa defines the psyche of the Samoans. I think it’s the reason why they’re quite self-confident in places where they show up on the world stage. They don’t have a slave mentality because everyone comes from a chiefly family in Samoa. So they’re quite proud and overly confident in who they are, considering they’re quite a small country in the middle of nowhere. “Western Samoa” changed its name back to “Samoa” almost 30 years ago, removing the word “Western” as a sign of returning to its pre-European identity.

Research the culture of Maluku (moluccans) they are originaly melanesians native to the Moluccan islands in what is now politically part of se asia. But their culture reflects proto polynesian elements. Including the tattoo techniques and patterns used. They are the pre polynesian people that are literally central to the west melanesian bridge regions. They mixed with the later coming austronesians and some moluccans look VERY polynesian where as the others are still more melanesian.

The Tu'I Manu'a islands of Samoa is the birth place of Samoa and the rest of Polynesia, the Tu'i Manu'a islands was set to be the islands of the gods known as Tagaloa lagi.. their were only too empires back then before the tu'I Tonga empire**.. and those two empire's were the Tu'I Pulotu empire of Fiji and the Tu'I Manu'a empire of Samoa... Samoans were head hunters plus we have three royal lines Tui Manu'a Tui Atua and Tui A'ana.. we were Warriors, if you don't believe me, here's your evidence Mark hunt, david Tua, Joseph Parker, Max holloway, tai bam bam tuivasa, Tyson Pedro, Ray sefo, like I said we were head hunters back then, that's why we love UFC BOXING K1

Well technically it was the Empire of Tui Manu'a or Tuimanu'a. The name Samoa comes from Sa-Moa. Sa denotes a family or clan and Moa denotes the name of that family. Tuimanu'a comes from this family and Samoa as a whole, being named family of Moa, all come from this family or clan as well. And yes Polynesian history does speak to this fact, including Tongan history. His home is called Manu'a and when Tonga ruled over "Samoa" they actually did not rule over Manu'a. They did not even step foot on Manu'a. One history says it is because they respected the Great Tuimanu'a. Another history says they tried and were humiliated. Tuimanu'a's empire is called Faleselau, House of Hundreds, and this is speaking because he ruled over all of the Pacific. This includes Fiji as well but maybe not all of Fiji. It also includes islands in Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea.

Europeans have also written about the Tuimanu'a empire. Polynesian history speaks of it as well, including Tonga.

I loved it

Love being proud of the way out ancestors stayed strong and fought for our homeland

I have been feeling less and less samoan so I'm doing my history lessons I never got

685 baby!!!!! Savai'i represent 💯🇼🇸

While I mostly enjoyed this video, having the background music and sound effects at the same if not higher volume than the narration, does this documentary a disservice.

Migrations were either deliberate or accidental? That’s the dumbest thing coming out of the mouth of a Polynesian. Polys built seaworthy crafts and learned to be aided by the stars and ocean currents in their navigating the seas. Does that sound like an accident? We weren’t smart enough to be deliberate in what we did?

How is it that the colonials exiled indigenous leaders of Samoa from their own lands? It's such a pity the impact Europeans had on Samoa and many other islands in the South Pacific

The Samoan people are the founding fathers of Polynesia, all Polynesians come from Samoans that’s why literally all the natives to all the poly islands literally look the same to a Samoan, and all have similar culture and language to Samoa, Samoa is the oldest of them all being in the heart of Polynesia, our ancestors were the greatest navigators of all mankind sailing through all Polynesia and then eventually discovering the Americas, as evidence they brought back the sweet potato which is a native plant in the americas not also that the native Americans call their canoes a similar name to what the Samoans also used call them too l, to close it all the word Tagaloa is a Samoan word which refers to supreme being or creator, these are where all the other Polynesians words for supreme being or creator come from such as Hawaii-“Kanaloa” New Zealand “tagaroa” original name for NZ is aotearoa, Tonga- tangaloa , etc, And the island “Hawaii” is named from Samoans when they first settle their naming it after the Samoan island Savai’i which why the correct way to pronounce “Hawaii” is HĀ-vah-i

I' LOVE YOU (SAMOA) PEOPLE, AND GOD'S BLESS YOU SAMOA, I'M NOT SAMOA B IS GREAT PEOPLE

I‘m not Samoan but I hope people keep up with their culture and don’t let the traditions/ language die.

I knw my people were different before white men came to Samoa something not right here about our history what they tell us is a lie. I love Samoa we were warriors not slave. We’ve been brainwashed and conquered by white men society. We had a different lifestyle. They separated us from nature We had everything before they came. We had spirituality Our god is within us.. our own people betrayed us for power n money. Rip to our great ancestors who try to save Samoa who died for Samoa.
