I miss the good old days back home,I left my sweet home when I was seventeen in 1977 to attend school in California,the decision my elders made for my future,I remember I used to cry myself to sleep every night missing home,it’s a long story but I see myself in this girl,we have to listen to our elders no matter how we feel,I never wanted to be separated from my family back then but I will do whatever they want, if I can turn back time it will be different,I’m proud of my culture and I’m proud of my Samoan heritage,love this short story,it brings back a lot of memories.❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is what the new generation here in Samoa are missing. Evening prayer is one of the most important part of ever Samoan children but nowadays its different. Preparing and serving food for our elders. Going to the villages fono to listen to the matai to learn our language and the young girls to practice the ava. Helping our parents with the family chores. The generation now are more into the western culture, family times aren't important and learning our culture is nothing to them. Life back then was so beautiful and safe.
Yes in the Bible it talks about Babylon and all the nations that drink from their cup and being drunk. America is Babylon and the whole world is drinking from our cup and being drunk. The Bible is so true everything written is being revealed. God is good. All we can do is trust in Jesus and continue life with God because that is our true purpose is to come back to God
The new generation isn't missing anything. Evening prayers and Christianity is something new brought by missionaries and is less than 200 years old. Our people used to celebrate into the night in po ula, where young people acquaint and meet. Poor people pay for cathedrals where pastors live a lavish lifestyle while the average villager lives in poor condition trying to afford a pusa moa by any means they can.
@@alelokaoseumu cathedrals are own by the people not the pastors, the pastors are not forcing anybody to do anything, its your right to contribute or not to the church. If you just wanna go to church then thats your right don’t blame everything on the pastors cos there are also other people who are doing it because of being “fia tele ma le fia mau mea” yet they know they can’t afford it. 200 years is not a short time.
@@ck0211 that's not exactly true. Villages have been known to banish matai or families from their villages for not contributing money (or monotaga in the case of matai) towards church projects. Big churches are a result of pride and greed. How can a pastor or church leaders justify grand luxuries of large cathedrals when you see the surrounding congregation living in poverty with a broken down hut, no running water? 200 years is just 6 generations. My or your great great grandfather was likely not a Christian. And their forebears before that. This new Christian thing in Samoa is toxic and the fact that people misconstrue this religion as part of Samoa is silly. It's a foreign thing, it's not integral to Samoan culture or Samoan life whatsoever. It's just a new fad that's stuck around since 1830.
@@alelokaoseumu but what does banishing them have to do with the faifeau, that’s the village/families decision. I’m not defending faifeau because some have contributed to the problem bt we can’t blame them for everything. The matai/leaders of families plays a part in this situation as well, asking families to contribute more just because they trying to make a name for themselves, trying to be known in the church and in the village ( as we say it in Samoa “fia iloa i mea fai tele”). Everyone plays a part in the changes now a days, Christianity didn’t ask us to contribute more, to build more, its people that’s making all the changes. There is no such thing as poverty in Samoa, we are the most blessed people in the world. We live on our own land, we can grow food on our lands, there’s heaps of money that we can get from our lands but for some, they are too lazy to work. E leai se mea e maua ma se filemu. Malo mo le faasoa.
Mr. Seupule was my Samoan Language teacher in 92-94 at Wesley College and I went to school with this girl’s sister and brother. I never liked it when his long nail made that deadly screeching sound on the board 😂 So good to see this clip, pe foliga mativa i la vaitaimi, but those were the happy days where love was love and not being measured by material things
Hearing the little girl sing “lord is the rock” and all the other songs everyone sang reminds me of all the songs my grandparents had us sing growing up for lotu. Love this
Wonderful memories for that family. It will be interesting to go back and find out what happened to all those in the film. Some must have passed on and those adorable babies are probably in their 50’s or 60’s. Thanks for posting.
I'm trying to enter in a link but somehow I can't. But anyways, if you visit my LE FALEOO fb page and go to the timeline photos, there's a recent photo of the young lady and her daughter living overseas and an update on them :)
Beautiful memories like it was yesterday 😢I'm 61yrs old now I left America Samoa when I was 11yrs old never went back but my faasamoa still with me try to teach my 10 grandchildren my Beautiful culture ❤❤❤❤faafetai lava!!
This actually made me more proud to be Samoan, even though I'm also half Maori. To have such respect for our people and to serve and honor them is a privilege... Thank you for sharing this video.. if only I could find a wife that was devoted such as this young woman nowadays alofa to her
I just love how dainty and ladylike the women in Polynesia are. We can be so ladylike, and even quiet but have the strength of ten men! It's one thing that a lot of girls out here in the states should take example from. You don't have to be thuggish and rough to be strong. That quiet strength, and charm that we carry is so alluring while being so modest at the same time. But don't anger us, once we get mad.....😵😱😂🤣😂🤣😂
I've seen this before and I liked it. I was taken aback at the part where she says the taupou is kept away from the sun and is fed well, perhaps there were no white large princesses that is why I am here I had to laugh she is a small lady. I like when her aunty reads the letter they look so happy. Thanks le faleo'o for showing this great doco.
This video takes me back and while growing up in the 70s. Everyday life, also how we grew up. New generations don't know how beautiful etc of those days eventhough we don't have enough money but God Almighty gave us the land and sea.. sooooo wonderful.. fa'afekai mo le video
Simplicity in its purest form. Unfortunately, I hate to concur that spasms of foreign influences (eg. radios, cars, snippets of urban Apia lifestyle etc) have gradually encroached, regardless of time. Such eroding effects have permeated the essence of fa’a-Samoa and all. Perhaps a ‘knock-on’ effect with adapting to change inevitably. Ultimately, we should always take solace in the fact that this is the norm elsewhere re: the “old vs new” adage. Nevertheless, much respect accorded to our forebears. Lest we forget their toils....Anyways, such a delight delving into these timeless gems Le Faleo’o, you’re a legend! Thankyou and God bless..Manuia tele ou faiva-alofi-lima
this video might be from the 70s - 80s. Seupule, which is the young girls dad, was my Gagana Samoan teacher back in 1997 in Levaula aka Wesley College. And he was in his 60s when he was my former Samoan teacher. But he looks like in his mid 30 - 40 in this film. Kalofae, e le faavavau ai pea gisi i legei lalolagi le tumau.
And how old is she now I loved watching stories from the olden days and our people are so beautiful and cool, vaitaimi ole mamalu mae tasi lava le upu e usitai Uma iai.
The western way has its benefits, but there's nothing like the cultures in the pacific! My God Mother is Samoan and she would tell me of these days, my Husband is also Samoan and I love being a part of his family, having toona'i and listening to my father in law tell the stories about life back then. I miss the days when even Hawai'i used to be like this, unspoiled, beautiful clean, and everyone was family, and there was 'Aloha and a place for everyone. Nowadays it seems as if our culture is not getting perpetuated like it should. Maybe one day I'll take the kids to live in Samoa. I've always wanted to go, but everytime those damne faalavelave happen and there goes the vacation funds!!!🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ I think maybe this weekend I need to go have some Samoan food with Mama! And of course I'll have my poi, and eat both my poi and my kalo saqa!!
Its a sad thing. Something not talked about alot. Alot of molestation happens in Samoa. Especially with the men and no one says anything becuase they are the ulu a le aiga. Its not good
Interesting documentary. She had so much potential, being as articulate as she was in English, as well. It was heartrending watching her suffer in silence because tradition was enforced rather than allowing her to follow her ambition to become a nurse to provide something more for them and herself in Samoa. While i can appreciate and admire the 2,000 year old traditions that is needed to sustain a village and community in Samoa, i had difficulty watching an intelligent young girl being stripped of her ambitions and dreams. This is likely why Samoa has a very high suicide rate for younger females :( They're just expected to carry out the burden of traditional teenage and / or female roles. Which is often constant labor. I hope that her European friend did as he had promised in his letter. There is nothing wrong with work and duties. But why not work smarter rather than harder? They should think about giving teens a regular break from all their constant duties. And i don't just mean attending church. But teen youth groups and camps that teach them things like ARTS and CULTURES of the rest of the world. They could study ballet, and contemporary dance. They could teach them how to cook different cuisines around the world and create their own. With all the abundance of vegies, fruits and herbs, Samoans has the potential to create some of the best cuisines in the world. Teach a wealth of productive economical hobbies like these and more that are all collective factors that teach children to have confidence to compete on a global level and inspire them to help improve Samoa's global awareness and economy as a whole. More of them would become interested in archaeology, history, university maths, physics, engineering, computer technology and the focus would be in order to make Samoa a great nation and by extension not only will their parents benefit from it but generations after that. There is no reason why intelligent samoans need to dream of being in another nation, when if the children are taught to focus on an educational CAREER direction, the children can build Samoa up to that global level. Samoan schools should be providing a variety of career oriented opportunities. You can find almost any subject on any serious career on RUclips and other internet sources that are all free. These young minds can grow up and focus on learning interesting careers that ultimately be used to raise Samoa's economic status. for example learning to build businesses, learning to sustain that business, how to operate it, how to save, where to get capital, how and where to invest their savings and or capital from etc,. Teach them how to become electricians, how to become computer technician, learn and stay current with global tech, etc,. How to open factories, that would create jobs, and so forth. There is a whole network of careers that are used to help make a nation great. This is what Samoa should be focused on teaching their children, in order to raise their nation's economy and GDP and general health and wealth. Samoa could be a wealthy island in the Polynesian triangle (which would also encourage other South Pacific islands), that benefits all Samoans if they broaden their focus on a variety of Career oriented courses and paths that allow Samoan children to grow up and focus on these careers to create solutions to make Samoa a greater nation. Then they would not need to want to go to another nation. Instead, everyone else will be wanting to go to Samoa. Please broaden your career opportunities in Samoa for children. Give the children more prospects. And they will find solutions for easier and less expensive ways to plant, develop, build and make life easier for their parents and generations after them, and the whole of Samoa in general. If you invest in your children, they can invest in Samoa. Then you wouldn't have to send your children to other nations. As i said, many of these subjects are free on RUclips. There are also many advanced books that are free on any career subject, as well. It doesn't require any money to learn them. All it requires is someone passionate enough to want to open a little community group where they can teach and or inspire their children to LEARN HOW TO CREATE economic OPPORTUNITIES for themselves - and then to put all the community behind them to support them to pursue it ! I know you can do it, Samoa :) You work hard for everything else, there is no reason why you don't learn to work SMARTER rather than harder for a change. God bless.
My parents had their reasons to come to the states where I was born. I’d choose to stay in Samoa 🇼🇸 if I had a choice. Life is not ALL that here in the states and the culture has been deteriorating since.
E faamanatu mai pea ala na o tatou ui mai ai ele mafai lava ona galo ma ia avea lenei tala matagofie ia iloa ai e tupulaga i nei onapo e lei faigofie le tautuaina o tatou Matua i ASO ole mativa
The Ali’i is like the Don Corleone off of the movie God Father…his talking chief is like Michael Corlenoe…Micheal speaks on his fathers behalf just like the talking chief speaks on the Ali’is behalf…Samoa must have some Italian connections 🤣🤣🤣🤣
19:40 it's a good thing that with Fiame being PM, people see that women are just as capable as men to carry out important jobs and to have a career. This mentality of sheltering girls at home while you allow your sons to go out and be a womanizer against other people's daughters is a bit weird. 20:10 poor girl, I feel really bad for her. Then come to find out that priests and pastors were molesting young boys and girls all over the world and church leaders would hush the matter. See how delusional people were. They think the city and pursuing a career was more evil for a young woman than to be molested by their faifeau. Kalofae ia kakou, a ea?
God bless you all , Jesus loves you all only he can save u repent and turn from your sins and accept Jesus as Lord and saviour and you will be saved. He is the only way to eternal life in heaven once you pass away its too late . ❤✝️🙌 ....
