- A short video on a purification ritual/ceremony held at the Tia Pulemelei Site (also knowns as Lata) in Palauli, Savaii 2003.
This archaeological site is a pyramid - the biggest of its kind in all of Polynesia and there have many speculations to the purpose of this site in ancient times. From being an ancient snaring grounds for pigeons of high chiefs (tia seulupe), to some saying it was a fortress of a Tuitonga, many are divided to the original purpose of the site.
Very touching...to see our Aiga / Kaiga (Maori - Cook Island - Tahiti - Hawai'i...etc) participate in this historical event. We are POLYNESIA....The greatest Migration of Humanity over the great Pacific Ocean.
I hope this ceremony is still done, even just as a cultural demonstration. It's so very important a treasure not just to Polynesia but to humanity!
Wow this gave me goosebumps I'm just so proud to be Samoan. I would love to go and see this ancient historical site I miss Samoa love you beautiful Samoa 🇼🇸🇼🇸
This is so beautiful to watch back our culture how our people still trying to find our values were our area are founded. Well done, need more vision of our future translation are all from. God bless. Love from lepea Faleata,😇⚘😇🌺🙌👍🤙❤
These Tia Pulemelei patterns you are showing called star forts are analogous to Salt on a Metal plate powered by a radio frequency generator. Certain frequencies will generate these patterns. There is a video on youtube showing such cymatic patterns. In my parents home country of Samoa they have 100's of star forts/mounds dotted all over the islands of Savaii and Upolu. I believe these mounds were created by certain areas of the Earth that release that particular frequency. Hence these star mounds/forts would be healing stations for all sorts of ailments, stations for meditation and possibly stations for physical or meta-physical travel.
this is our land in Palauli Savaii ,so beautiful
The vibrational frequencies alaga by the Salelesi is to call upon the spirits of our ancestors to be there to witness the rebirth or the renewal of our lost cultural belief system. Our spiritual connection with the Cosmos.
WOW! So beautiful, I feel so emotional as I watch this, where I grew up, Faafetai tele lava mo le share; ❣❣❣❣
The RAIN 🌧 💙 is a significant 🙌 of a BLESSINGS 🙌 ✨ 🙏 ❤
its a rainy season in Samoa
Yes, the vibration of our ancient polynesian anscestors brings that upliftung spirit in us thas was and is created by JAH the creator of all things,
Nothing but love and respect God bless the Polynesian
Bird mount is used to catch the lupe for the feathers
Wow what was the logistics that day? Probably the most people to visit the site in centuries.
Is as down to earth as you can get. No fancy make ups. A real culture in today's world.
Fia malamalama, Po'o lea le uiga o lenei sauniga,?
So beautiful

Pulemelei Siaheulupe was built by 23rd Tuitonga Momo Talafata similar to Talietumu in 'Uvea alot of 'Umutangata in Ha'amoa and 'Uvea Futuna when Tongan Rules Polynesia 😊
@@jmjm1920 Tongans weren't allowed in Southern Savai'i at any point in history they had ties with tui tonga but in Southern Savai'i where the pulemelei mounds were built Tongans were not allowed to settle or even enter that area of Samoa it was still independent under there own Samoan kings so stop saying Tui tonga built the pulemelei when archeologists have already confirmed that Tongans did not settle or build anything in independent Samoan areas before during and after the Tongan occupation sorry to burst ur bubble😂
@@jmjm1920 LMAOO get out of here with that shit
Archaeologists confirmed it where Uso?What info you got on this TuiTonga not responsible for the construction of Pulemelei? I heard this was built well into the time of the TuiTonga!!!!
Tongans did build the Pulemelei. Samoans never knew how to build with rocks and stones unlike the experienced tongans!
Goosebumps all over!!!!
"PULE- MELE'I" There is no such word in our Samoan language, such as "pulemele'i", that is why there is so much confusion over this issue. I heard this land (where pulemele'i is located) was bought by the Nelsons, and with the arrival of the non polynesians. The native (Samoans) heard them talking about the word PYRA-MID and I believe that is where the word pulemele'i came from: PULE= PyRA and MID=MELEI we do it all the time if you come to our islands with your name JACK we will change it to SIAKI, JOHN will be IOAGE and MOSES will be MOSE. I myself hunted wild boars, and wild cattle, in the 60s and 70s from Palauli/Satupa'itea Hights to Sili, Gataivai toTaga and Sala'ilua also Mt Silisili. And during those hunting time in the island of Savaii, we will always come across these mound of rocks, but the base size is smaller than confusion pulemele'i, but about the same hight (as I was told by some of the elders, the purpose of the hight of the mound is to get near the treetops, so the "tagata seulupe" (pigeon catcher) will be closer to the birds we call these mounds "KIASEU" (or tiaseu) Smaller ones looks like they were built for 2 or may be 5 people. There are words and proverbs can be trace back to these KIASEU: "kiaseu o kamali'i" "sopo le maguvale i kiaseu" "aua le seukafili le ga'a" "la'u lupe fa'alele" "lupe o le foaga" "lupe o malumaugu" "vae efu" Le seuga a Lefaoseu o Upolu ma Ulumu o Savai'i na afua ai le "gakia i vao ae puaiga i le ala" and so much more proverbs and words As a Samoan it is an insult to have an outsider come in to our lands to dig up dirt, and tell me where I come from, and explain me about my culture and my ancestors NO NO we are rich in proverbs, songs, and words we can trace our own past kusa lava pe kala lasi Samoa leave it alone aua pe fananau mai isi tupulaga a'oa'oina i Iugivesike, e koe fo'i lava i Savai'i kalage o koeaiiga makukua mo faamaklaga sa'o E leai gi alagaupu, leai gi pese, po'o gi upu o faamakala ai se PYRA-PULE MID-MELE"I E le valea uma fo'i kamaiki Savai'i

Pulemelei Siaheulupe was built by Tu'itonga Momo Talafata around 800AD before Tu'itatui story of 'Uno o Sangone similar Talitumu fortress in Uvea built by Tu'itonga Kau'ulufonua 1100AD🙏
Stop lying you weak Tangoe.
@@tanasekope9362 You don't know weak 🍗 clan lol 🤫
@@jmjm1920 Yeah I do your whole Horse sht kingdom is weak, That’s why tangoes keep getting knocked out every day of the week. Too much relying on Touching stories 😂😂😂
@@tanasekope9362 The Pulemelei case indicated that a previously utilised site was
chosen to build a large mound around the 12th-13th century. The
slabs on edge making up a sort of outline frame of the structure were detected
at the bottom layer. This could indicate that this is the work of Tongans,
and thus equivalent to the stone work making up the langi structures.
However, at Pulemelei the slabs on edge were of basalt stone and the
langi stones are mainly of beach rock. The platform/mound at the
bottom at Pulemelei which was detected by the use of geophysical
analysis, should not be ruled out as containing a potential burial vault.
This could tie Pulemelei to the langi tradition but so far no direct
evidence confirms this (Clark and Biran 2007). Excavation at the so
called “Tongan wall” a kilometre up-hill from Pulemelei by us in 2004
(Martinsson-Wallin et al. 2007: 57) indicates that this feature is
contemporary with or even slightly older than the initial Pulemelei
platform. This could point to a Tongan connection but alternative
interpretations could also explain the name of the wall.
The current research shows that there are two main types of large
mound; the irregular pigeon snaring mounds (tia seu lupe) usually at
inland locations, and probably dating within the last 300-500 years; and
large scale truncated mounds making up high raised platforms with
slanting sides with dates going back 700-900 years. The former, with
slight differences in outline and shape but similar use, exists on various
islands in West Polynesia, especially in Tonga, Independent Samoa and
American Samoa and are tied to the chiefly sport of pigeon hunting.
Large truncated mounds exist as chiefly burial mounds, langi, in Tonga
and a few other large scale mounds found on other West Polynesian
islands usually related to chiefly power. The largest two are found in
Independent Samoa and are almost non-existent in American Samoa.
Archaeological investigations to date place initial building of larger
mounds to 700-900 years ago and it is not unlikely that this coincides
with the expansion of Tongan rule and population increases at certain
productive or in other ways important sites in Samoa. A population
increase usually influences the emergence of hierarchies and a more
complex society. The conception of prehistory and its built environment is weak in
contemporary Samoa. The key factors identified for this weak position
are: firstly, the strong Christian influence which questions the pagan
past in Samoa, especially sites of ritual/ceremonial importance;
secondly, the complex relationship to the Tongans; thirdly, that Samoa
can be identified as a “memory society/milieu” or at least in-between a
memory society and a history society where the extended family
relations are more important than the State.
That's is right %100 Tui Tonga Momo was known secret king
Tui Tonga was known throughout the Pacific and Lau group Fiji to Easter Island to Hawaii TUI TONGA

Celebration the pulemelei built by the Tui Tonga 😜🇹🇴🇼🇸
No tf it wasnt
Bruh the Tongans weren't even allowed in Southern Savai'i before during and after the war in the 12th-13th century Southern Savai'i had its own independent kingdoms unlike Northern Savai'i who were under Tongan occupation but the south where the pulemelei was built there were no tongans settled there and there no oral history that's states that they even entered that part of Samoa same goes for the main kingdoms of upolu
950 BC (Samoa) vs 1100AD (Tui Tonga). C’mon cuz.
Where's the proof? That particular part of tour history was pushed by missionaries so that the chief that accepted them would be look at has king. our district was never under the Tongan rule for 300 years. No proof, just word of mouth.
Those pulemelei were built by several Tui 👑 TONGA when they rule Samoa and Pacific all the way to Easter Island
And to the Ana Kaitangata were Tongan build in Easter Island 🏝️ and the Langi and Moai it's was all Tui Tonga tui Tatui
Bullshit
Tongans weren't allowed in Southern Savai'i at any point in history they had ties with tui tonga but in Southern Savai'i where the pulemelei mounds were built Tongans were not allowed to settle or even enter that area of Samoa it was still independent under there own Samoan kings so stop saying Tui tonga built the pulemelei when archeologists have already confirmed that Tongans did not settle or build anything in independent Samoan areas before during and after the Tongan occupation
Tui tonga descendent of Samoans gee lol
Tu'i Tonga Tu'itatui tried to invade Savai'i but was defeated by the High Chief Talune and his warriors & was forced to flee from Savai'i...
