    Awww thank you for sharing your feelings and spirit of the Samoan way from witnessing prepping and having all the aiga getting ready for the Saofa'i towards the end of village life playing with friends who really are your nephews, cousins, etc aka neighbors. I also love the fact that you mentioned generations before and a glimpse of their graves. That truly is the essence of it all- Love!

    That was beautiful, love the Samoan culture and Tongan culture. The best life is island life. Love to all and congratulations all of you men with your titles.

    Great watch! The Ceremony experience from start to finish was culturally informative and interesting as I've never seen or heard this ceremony in the flesh before (closest thing now being digital, fa'afetai). Ava experience highlighted the diverse roles/responsibilities of how people contribute to the collective ceremony. And, the natural humour and jokes of our people was soo real too...loved it xx

    Another great video and experience.
    Yes Samoan Culture when done in the right spirit is so beautiful. In my experience, if we have the right Matai or Sāo running the family then everything goes well.
    But stick to it, keep your kids attending those family events they will thank you for it in the future.
    Samoa great one day Beautiful the Next 🇼🇸❤️

      every village is different. Depending on the tile it could be from $100 to $4000 or more for high chiefly titles
