Great poddy usos can you guys do a segment on William mariner the palagi who sailed to Haapai in tonga. Where he lived among the people under the king of Haapai finau ulukalala. Went to war with Tongatapu.
The Orator! Thank you Uso. I will make sure the generations after me in my family, know this man. The Legend, Tupaia from Tahiti! Hollywood couldn’t write that, God Particles! haha
I think I read that the Tahitian's 1st noticed the Europeans by the body stench coming off their ships
Happy Mother’s Day to the beautiful mothers of the pacific ❤
I love this history of our islands and our people, May God bless Samoa ❤
He's the goat bro
Imagine talking about a dude like Tupaea who lived at a time where electricity and smart phone’s computers television etc wasn’t even invented and he drew up a map to help the supreme race get around the biggest ocean on planet earth fucken GOATS alright
Ia orana Eliota, brutha...fck yes someone that has same type of style in korero, and thoughts similar to mine. Its refreshing asf to hear this type of korero & whakaaro as mine lol & damn your knowledge on polynesian history🔥👌 and cos I dont have my reo maori or poly its beautiful to hear with my ears the names and places Ive read. You are the realist my g. Malo for sharing yor knowledge & wisdom🌈
Nice one bro good to see Junior in there. Totally makes sense even with a little research... we live in this system not designed for us, but to feel like there is more to us as a people is totally validated with these types of chats.
Only thing wrong with this video is i can only click like once. Beautiful korero brothers much aroha. 💪🏽
My favourite podcast atm please talk more about this hitori so important to share the truth about what really happened.
One thing cook and every other explorer noticed was how close our languages were. The languages Tahitians speak now is a corrupt language back then Tahitians had the 'Nga' and 'K' back then the language. So it was almost an identical language to the maoris cook noticed that everywhere he went. Even in tonga how tongans spoke their 'L' was pronounced as a rolled 'R'. Even in Rarotonga and her islands they corrupted their language. To separate us. Another good episode you guys can catch up on was black birding in Polynesia. A story of the island of Tongareva from Avaiki also known as (cookislands)😂 where Europeans from peru promised the people of Tongareva a good job nd that over there. They tricked them onto the boats and locked them up like slaves with fellow neighbour's from Kiribati. Took them to peru to do hard labour. Unfortunately most of them didn't make it back home only a small handful did. So if you look at native Peruvians alot of them look exactly like us alot of them wear our cultural patterns on their skin. I think the ones who didn't get to go back him stayed and taught our culture to them.

English is the language of spells
Alot of islands in east polynesia have old sayings that goes "Havaiki from which we came, kuporu from which we sprang". Also a well know word "Manuka Tere". * (Great Manuka). I don't know if it's a chant we sing anymore but I use to hear it as a kid. Wasn't until I was older when I heard Upolu and savaii are big islands of samoa.

The GOAT
It be good if you had your own website as YT are renown for blocking this kind of convo, esp when it goes against their ‘built by design’ system.
100% brothers ... Tupaea was only the tip of the ice berg because all of our people had men like him not only this our va'a or waka is or was far more superior then than cooks,him and his people were suprised and did not want to let the knowledge of this reach his homeland because of their so called common belief that we were to them merely unintelligent savages
That captain cook story with the goat 🐐 in the cabin is fugged up .
Deep 😢
Tupaia shared knowledge cook stole. Tupaia protected him in Aotearoa when the maoris wanted to kill him. Warned him not to go to Tonga. Tupaia warned him not to mistreat the Chiefs on any of our islands. And in the end he was left in Java to die of sickness. All tupaia wanted was guns and help to protect his people from the warriors from Porapora in exchange for labour and ancient knowledge. If it wasn't for Tupaia his journey would have ended in Aotearoa.
