@@hansolo4017 You're absolutely right. The Romans had millions of slaves in their culture. Africa has never really been unified, have constantly been fighting among neighboring tribes for land, and were made slaves that were sent all around the world. Such beautiful history.
I like the idea of the men doing the cooking and serving for his parents, sisters and then the boys and themselves. It is a tradition I hope they never let go and pass it on to the next generation.
In Samoa it is still the same, although men and women do cook now not just men anymore. But men and boys in Samoa still keep the traditional ways the same as, serving his parents and sisters and wife and kids first. But overseas? Not really lol.. So it's good that whenever I go back it is still there ☺️..

@@rolfpoelman3486 Its not what they ate. It's what they had to do to get their food. Evolution provided better builds to combat exposure to the elements; they're ancestors foraged for everything.

@@daviddedos It's what they ate. And what is natural for humans, tropical and warm climate. And having to be active when getting their food. And less stress. And less pollution. And community. And an unnatural for human diet of meat. And genes. And ...? And your "they're" is: their. And try to make better educated statements. Less opinions. We all have far too many opinions. And not enough facts. Too many F*C* wits.
@@rolfpoelman3486 I have swipe to text so the "they're" was a mistake, that was a much needed correction.. thank you so very much! 🙄 First of all, none of what I said was opinionated. I've studied anthropology for 2 years and I'm a pre-med student at PLU. You literally said, "and having to be active when getting their food" and you mentioned "climate" both of which I alluded to... so you're just restating what I said. Look up "Bergmann's rule and the thrifty genotype" its a journal about the evolution of Polynesians. It literally states "body weights in particular have been strongly affected by the changes associated with modernization" so yes, technology does play a part in how humans have evolved. Is that factual and educated enough for you? Smh
@@rolfpoelman3486 Rolf Poelman and the source you gave about vitamin D has absolutely nothing to do with evolution nor physical build. Vitamin D is a fucking vitamin, it isn't passed down through genetics. You should really "try to make better educated statements"
Honestly, how many Samoans do you know that still live like this and know these olden ways? I bet it's not a big number. Most of them are accustomed to the modern life and forget their old knowledge. Like we all did. Also... This lifestyle would mean squat here in Europe. No coconut plants for starters. But, we have our own traditions and knowledge for our type of land.
When this man can build an entire house, food, drinks, and weapons from palm tree and coconuts, but you can't even cook a proper meal with meat that's in the fridge.
I’m a primitive survivalist, have been practicing and sometimes living with the skills for nearly 12 years. I went to Hawaii back in 2014, twice, and went on a walk down a trail (naturally I went off trail) and near a crystal clear and BEAUTIFUL waterfall. I came across a fallen sapling with fibrous inner bark and made a long piece of cordage for a bow-drill kit that did not need splicing. I wonder what species of plant that was. I never did any research on it. I love coconut though, such a useful “plant” or seed as he called it. The North American equivalent in my opinion would be Pine.
Their cooking , coconut milk, making rope from coconut fibre and other cultures are same as my area where I'm living in coastal of Karnataka state in INDIA
I love how you felt the need to bold the word india. blud no one gives a shit about your country. by this time we all know how shameless you people are in terms feeling over pride and patriotism. its beyond pathetic that you people choose to do that instead of actually developing the country and remove racism and discrimination towards minorities there. your life is really sad
“You put the banana leaf on the fire so it will change the texture and it sterilizes the leaf.” Me: WOW. They was in thinking in 3005 AD since 2000 BCE.
I went there earlier on this year and saw all the shows and loved it! There was so much stuff to do there though that we didn't have time for it all. Since I was little, it's always been my dream to viset hawie and now I've been, I want to go back again. Does anyone know if there are any hotels near the cultural centre? If I go again, I'd love to spend a couple of days there. This time we were there on a one day trip as part of a cruise round the islands.
It is not the largest seed in the world nor is the avocado the second largest. The largest is a palm seed but I do not recall the name but it was on a documentary in 2013 and it was the size of a dinner plate. I think 1,2,3,4 places are all kinds of palms maybe coconut is second or 3rd. to Marble89 technically a coconut is a dry dupe but generally it can be called nut,seed and/or fruit. it is in fact all 3. Just remember when you are eating the white parts from inside the seed/nut/fruit you are eating endosperm! yummy!!!!!!
The vulnerability of dependence on a crop such as coconuts was illustrated when cyclones in 1990 and 1991 caused considerable damage to tree crops. identified an international niche market for taro, a traditional prestige root crop.

Does anyone know the name of this fella, or better yet say his name as an explanation of his origins as I am Samoan and am very impressed with his expressions and knowledge of Samoan stories and culture. He does look very familiar and I, for one am proud of his knowledge of the coconut and it's different uses in everyday Samoan life. Mahalo, and thanks for the memories.
He's smart. He's strong. He's handsome. He has wisdom. He has talent. He can do anything. He can be anywhere. He chooses to stay there.
Well put. We are animals after-all, and we thrive best in nature.
