Your a true coconut! Brown on the outside and white on the inside.

The man calling out the koua for your mamasa, short cut! Please, Rotumans who are taking up the roles as Mafua, please dont pick stuff from here and there and make up your own stuff, sit with an elderly mafua and learn properly! This is sad, most people today are doing short cut style with calling out the koua and paega. It is really disapointing to see such short cut. Please Rotumans, let us keep our culture and not short cut the calling

[@TheRotumaProject]

Kathy here, I'm so sorry - this was not the fault of the Mafua. This was a result of the video editing process to keep the story flowing but not the fault of our hosts and we will be more conscientious in future pieces as to how the editing process affects protocols. Please forgive us as we are still learning and we appreciate you taking the time to review. Fḁiåkse‘ea.
