- The traditional fale designers in Samoa - the Tufuga Fau Fale are revered as age old knowledge holders.
This precious art form is now being passed down and re-energised by groups of young Samoans, who are building new forms of the ancient Samoan fale.
Fa'afetai tele lava for keeping the knowledge alive. Malo lava le fai ole faiva.
Thank you Coconet TV for covering this, and such blessing to see Athol featured here to share his knowledge and passion for this artform. Priceless. Inspirational. Humbling.
Fa'afetai tele lava for these architects having the desire and vision for perpetuating our fau fale art and knowledge! As a kid growing up in Leone AS, I watched a fale kalimalo built right in front of our house! The process was fascinating. The end product was magnificent. I was always in awe of the intricacies and craftsmanship of the ribbing lines and lashing patterns. They stayed with me and influenced my art to this day! When I would visit over the years, I was sad to see the fale deteriorate, and has now finally been torn down, I believe even a casualty too of the 2009 tsunami. I always dreamed of having a fale built in my backyard here in California. If I ever get rich, I would love to commission a team to come out and spend a season or so to build me one out here. Malo lava y'all for keeping the flame lit for our culture!
Mean clip. Good to see a Lasallian brother in there 💯

Fascinating video. It's encouraging to see our people acknowledge our ancient customs and traditions and to both try to preserve and maintain them. I was saddened when just a few months ago i learned about our fine mat making tradition losing its traditional continuation to more modern conveniences. At least keep the knowledge of how they're created through video compilations. Even the mention of how the construction of the fale is now being adopted and viewed internationally as environmentally friendly, and less costly way to erect homes, is defintely a reason to be proud of them. Thank you to my ancestors for their many and varied skills. I wish my parents were alive so that i could share my new found knowledge with them and tell them how talented, skilled, clever and great they and our ancestors truly were. I appreciated how he explained the incorporation of the constellations into the building of the fale. Which is a significant part of our ancestral history and the journey of all Polynesians to Polynesia.
The reason why I am watching this because I am doing my homework and my homework is to build a fale samoan but a little one with wood and leafs and other things.I am gonna have so much fun building it because I have always wanted to build a samoa fale 😊😊😁😁❤❤💖💖

Towards the end of this video the young Samoan lady states her opinion of her knowledge or should I say her span of research of how we preserve our stories. Dig dipper sis and you'll know. God bless Samoa.
