I am from samoa and this is my first time watching a Kiribati dance absolutely beautiful mad love from you’re neighbouring pacific island of SAMOA! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
HAMO BOII do you know that almost all i-Kiribati people can trace their ancestry to the Samoans who voyaged from Samoa and settled on the islands hundreds if not thousands of years ago? It happened during the time in Samoa known to the locals on these islands as “Uruakin te kai n tiku aba” (Roughly: “The breaking up of the tree of origin.”) Their arrival was not an invasion but more an assimilation with the existing locals. Inter-marriages took place and so the current population is the result of it. The first and maybe second generations of this immigrants constantly travel back and forth to Samoa to get timber not readily available on these islands to build big meeting houses known then and now as the “maneaba”, or they travel for some other reasons. In Tuvalu, the people there did recall how people from Kiribati constantly stopped over to resupply on their way to and from Samoa during the old days.
The second dance tells of a high ranking or chiefly lady known as Nei Kimoa-Uea who voyaged from Samoa to Buariki, in North Tarawa. It is a well known but long story and in this second dance, there is a verse that says: “Manangan Nei Kimoa-Uea mai iaon Tamoa ....” (Translated as “the voyage of Lady Kimoa-Uea from Samoa ...” If one listens to the lyrics starting at 10:30, one will hear it being sung and it gets repeated afterwards as at 12:15.
@@brancomctab1248 WOW!! Never heard this story. AMAZING!!!! thank you for that history. Beautiful.
@@PTOOMALATAI206 Unfortunately most Samoans aren't told about their intermingling with Kiribati back in the days. You still hear little bits in the names in fact a Samoan Auckland Blues player who sadly passed away this year bore the surname Tamoa-i-eta, which was the old Kiribati name for Western Samoa meaning Northerly Samoa as opposed to Tamoa-i-nano the name for American Samoa meaning Southerly Samoa. The migration of Batuku was the last of Samoa's expedition to Kiribati which happened when he was expelled out of Samoa for still wanting to practice cannibalism and human sacrifice in Tutuila which the Chiefs of Upolu and Savaii outlawed after a High Chief was served his own son. Batuku's name in Samoa was most likely Tuifeai when connecting remnants of oral accounts. Batuku is poetically associated in Kiribati with skulls and fire which correlates with Tuifeai's use of human skulls as signals and decorations in his domain and his association with fire being correlated to him being a descendant of Tuifiti (Fiji) where his certain clan was widely known for walking across mounds of fire most likely from Beqa.
@@TM686K WOW!! thank you for a piece of history/knowledge. I heard of the cannibalism part but not too much of it. How awesome this would've been learning here in America in history class but i get it. I'm just glad people like you A B still have the knowledge of our history and when I say our I mean the people of pacific. so much history yet so much has been lost over time. again, I appreciate you responding and taking the time out to share a piece of history with me. thank you.
A B 👏👏👏👏thank you for sharing
I am a Tongan and this is the first time watching Kiribati dance performance; defines our traditions and culture throughout the Pacific which makes us unique!! 'Ofa Atu from TONGA -
Thanks Sam, the second dance/song is about a beautiful demi-god chief/princess Nei Kimoauea (Miss Kimoauea) who lived in Samoa this is before the great dispersion of Polynesia ~1250AD
I am from the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. Upon watching this video, I immediately felt a connection with the heart and soul of a people. I do not understand their language. But I do understand the love and passion for their island as expressed in their song, dance, cries, and tears. Maybe all of us islanders share a common language deep in our hearts.
This may possibly be the most beautiful thing I've seen and heard on RUclips.
I'm from the Marshall Islands and these people are our sister islands. Last week we did a Stroll the Atolls in Springdale, Arkansas and when they performed, the American crowds were very impressed. Proud islander here .
I´m Jamaican...and I think the dance and the whole Kiribati Culture is awesome.. Nuff Respect fome one Island to another...
Wow so beautiful, I'm from Fiji and I really love this Kiribati dance💛❤

My dad's side is from Kiribati so I'm half but I never really learned about the culture because my dad was a deadbeat who left when I was 5. This is awesome to see, I always wanted to do this sort of dance for polyfest but my college only participated in the Maori, Samoan and Tongan dances. 😔
@@santospaul8103 there’s a stage at polyfest called diversity stage where all cultures outside Polynesia and those within Polynesia who don’t have their own stage can perform. The most common groups you’d see at diversity would be Fijian, Korean, Chinese, Tuvaluan and more recently, Kiribati
The 5 major cultures at Polyfest that have their own designated stages are Maori, Samoa, Tonga, Cook Islands and Niue
@@mkfleez5319 yeah but most schools only participate in the main dances.
I loved this performance from beginning to end. Had to rewind a bit of the parts it was so good to watch. Just love how rich and unique the cultures in the Pacific Islands are. 💙 We all should be VERY PROUD of where we come from and what our cultures represent and the history behind it. 💙 Amazing performance 😊
Omg. I love this lady ❤️🇲🇭
It's emotional 😭😭 😭

I did my dna test so I guess these are my people. Wow❤️
kavani Kavani dude what were your percentages?
Micro Nesian I am 40 percent Kiribati 50 percent White American and 5-10 percent European. I was adopted at a young age so this is why I took a dna test.
kavani Kavani that’s awesome man! You should go back home one day. It’s beautiful
What DNA test did you take? Never heard one that contains Kiribati. Ancestry.com labels Kiribati under Polynesia so it’s not that specific.
Micro Nesian thanks brotha! And yes I would like to visit!!!

My people:)
OMG WHEN ARE THE CHILDREN DANCING😭😭😭 I WANNA SEE MY SELF😭😭😭

a rang nikoniko man banaraoi
E nang karokonano ❤
It’s us
Why are the girls crying please
its the emotion they're filled with, it is common to all kiribati traditional dancers before/during/afterwards to cry as the emotions caused by the singing gets to them, this is the duty of the singers to invite the dancing spirit in preparation for the main part of the dance
Thank you😘
@Samoan Pride this warming up song is generally called "te kamanene". This is the time they can let go of their emotions and build up their dancing spirits or energy so when they commence dancing, they are a great sight to behold due to that expressed energy as in the case of these dancers. The worst thing a dancer would do is to move like a robot, void of energy and passion! Should they move in a robotic manner, the audience would make fun of them and comment that they must have eaten fish prior to their dance! Male dancers don’t generally do the crying 😢. It’s a feminine thing I think 🤔.
Some of the things Kiribati dancers do in addition to practice makes them very susceptible to being emotionally attached to the dance, the main one being the use of very old rituals. Whenever someone is seen as a good dancer in Kiribati they're often presumed to have a parent or family member who is very good at rituals and in most cases it's true.
Hi Samoan Pride, also the songs are very very old( ancient songs) passed from one generation to another. One of the song is actually a song about a beautiful woman named Nei Kimoauea travelled from Samoa, she got children with King Kirata from Tarawa, lived happily ever after lols I leave other parts of the history to another I-Tungaru who can finish it, Tekeraoi ngaira n bane!
Well I see someone I know 😎😒😖
E bon kaota tamneina raoi te MC nte tai anne ma anuana n Tom Cruz imataia kain ASKI
