I wish I had ancestors this worthy of the pride these men and women bring for their families.

Should try make a video about the battle against the Germens in 1888 where Samoan rebel forces under Mata'afa Iosefo defeated a large Germen force aswell as making a video of the Samoan wars 1830s-1899 now that is one of the most untold pacific history

Wow... never heard of this hero of our country but I'm just wondering if my grandfather related to him, my grandfather was from Vaiala and his name was Pisa Togoi'u Seala and I was named after my grandfather. Fascinating story.

I have always felt that Lauaki was duped on purpose, the Germans & other greedy countries knew his Power and wanted to oust Him. In turn they had moles who adhered to their rules who are our own Leader's and in turn got all the authority and riches. Our own leaders turned on our People and poor Lauaki was exiled but He was the Good Dude & He also disagreed with Malietoa. Hmmmmm... Kalofae.

[@dingo_463]

So he was Mau and then he chose money over the Mau. That’s maybe why people have never heard of him?

Palangi is roughly translated to “diseased ones” 😂😂😂
“Pala-angi” Pala meaning disease or sickness, angi referring to “being full of.”
