- This is the story of I’iga Pisa. The survivor of those exiled in Mau A Pule movement, who made it back to witness Samoa winning back her freedom from colonial rule.
After escaping being exiled in Saipan by the Germans, I’iga embarked on an extraordinary journey to find his way home to Samoa, where he walked a fine line between the NZ administration and his own people, but would eventually help usher Samoa through to independence.
In loving memory of I’iga Olevia Muliaumaseali’i and the aiga potopoto of I’iga Pisa.

Amazing man ,, one of Samoan forgotten heros, RIP Iiga
What a beautiful and powerful story of an amazing, determined, courageous legend brought to life. More than a great story!
In our history classes in Samoa back then we were not taught these other sides to our history. What they taught us stopped with Lauaki Namulaulu Mamoe, Taisi O F Nelson, Mataafa Iosefa, and Tupua Tamasese Lealofi III and a few others. This is a good insight into what else was going on in the background of things.
Always in tears watching and hearing these stories about our ancestors. Because of them I am very proud Samoa. Thank you for our freedom 🇼🇸🇼🇸❤️❤️
Good story of my great great grandfather his first wife had a son name Vai the only son and was the oldest before remarried.. I’m so proud that his kids and grandkids keep his legacy stories on the map of Samoa 🇼🇸 ❤️❤️

A good informative doco The CoconetTV and Kudos to the contributers, malo, fa'afetai lava mo le fa'asoa.
I'm a born Samoan lady and i'm crying while watching this. I love our people that loves hard and forgives always. I think this was a boycotte to weaken our culture by others. However i give thanks, gratitude and love to our elders, and our ancestors for being so loving, peaceful, joy and the freedom they showed us. That is what i am❤
Really interesting documentary about a son of Samoa being extradited to foreign lands.Learns the locals language then turns to learning the German language in order to communicate to the German Colonisers.Sets out to Guam by using the traditional navigation techniques.Manages to persuade authorities and hitch a ride to Hawaii.Realises once arriving in Hawaii that the Germans have left and the English had taken over the administration Learns the language in order to communicate with them.Gets a job in the government because speaks their language and studied their ways and methods.Has a massive hand as an interpreter during the Samoan independence negotiations and dies in his country that he served.
And not a single mention of his name with in the education system for future generations to learn what.. Tautua…to be of service is all about.
Samoans only remember who they want to remember and if you went with the tide you a
Were considered an asset…Go against the grain regardless of contribution….not a mention!!

Marvellous 🥰
Woow l remember Iiga. Name from Vaiala village. He’s from the faifeau family.
Great video
Very impressive
Samoan Legend. This story needs to be told to the new age coming up to be leaders.
Wow 🔥🔥
God bless Samoa
Rip legend s Samoan people
Is there a way to access these writings of Iiga Pisa? I would love to read. Great documentary 🇼🇸
Nice culture respect and church etc
Amazing how he navigated 5,000 kilometers of sea using only the stars. Our people are geniuses deliberately gaslit out of fear.
He became a New Zealand administration supporter. He worked for the courts and played a part in gathering information for cases against the leaders of le Mau a tumua ma pule.
If you can't wear this great man's shoes and make the contriving decisions he had to make; don't try to be a hero here and try to comment insinuating comments ... Samoa, the first country in the Pacific Islands to be independent.
🙏🏾💎👑🌺🇼🇸🇦🇸
Now we have peppa wetzell & the metzell marry in and still own like Aotearoa..
Love & Respect Great OG I'iga Pisa, forever indebted 🎗
The best part is I'iga used the stars to travel the pakipika. 🫵😊
