Tongan community in lau

I WAS BORN THERE 1953

Interesting indeed. We need to look after each other. God bless us all.

Before chiefs of the past in Fiji ruled these islands the land was empty for centuries before anyone set foot on these island That’s how it happened in my culture too the Samoan Culture There were other people who came first before the Fiji people NOT Samoan people They were island people too Fiji and Samoan people came about the same time because of the inter marriage they had with each other I’m talking about all of the Pacific Islanders not just the ones I just mention Many of the history of my people THE POLYNESIAN people is hearsay

Unless there’s something you’re people is not saying Fiji the old Fiji people when chief use to ruled The Fiji islands many of the part of Fiji is not to clear Many of the history of Fiji in the first century is not known my advice to these people just follow the animals like their forefathers have done Because many of the animals are found in Fiji is not from Fiji Remember Fiji is group of islands

Is very easy thing to say it but leaders in ths community are very sad it’s been years nothing has changed Nice thing to hope for things BUT TO GET THINGS DONE YOU SUPPOSED TO ACT ON IT In my opinion these Samoan in this community is stupid Your in a different country, respect the law of the land especially the tribals inter action but at the same YOU MUST CONSISTENT PRACTICE YOUR OWN CULTURE TOO So far from what I’ve been seen from this community they’re not practicing their culture

Lovely

Thanks for your video, Never know there Samoan people live in Fiji,

Nice to here this wonderful stories.

O ! If only our Fijian leaders in the past think of their end of life’s and our end of life’s today : Fijians would have had a very different life’s altogether . Our blood brothers and sisters from Samoa from Tonga from the Solomons from Papua New Guinea from Vanuatu from Tokelau from Niue from Rabi from Papua New Guinea from Kiribati and other pacific Islands would make Fiji a real religious Island Nation . Unfortunately Satan has broken the chain of togetherness and love for one another as blood brothers and sisters . All we have to do now as Native Fijians is to love one another think of one another give to one another care for one another and have a warm of feelings to each other . Let’s just show love to one another as Fijian People . God has brought in the very people who don’t believe in him and now they are the head of Fijians and not the tail . You all have to stand up together with our blood brothers and sisters to fight them so that we as Fijians and Tongans Samoans Papua and New Guineas Solomons Vanuatu Tokelau Rabi Kiribati and other Pacific Islanders in Fiji right now to take back what we have lost . Pray as you never prayed before and fast as you never fast before . Jesus is the only way truth and the life . Repent all your sin and follow Jesus Christ . Please ! People forget about the things of this sinful world , and think only of the things that God has prepared for those who keep his commandments and the faith and testimony of Jesus Christ . Think my blood brothers and sisters . All our blood brothers and sisters from all over the Pacific Islands should be given a proper land so that they can live in it peacefully happily and joyfully for the rest of their life’s and our life’s . People people Remember ! The Land belongs to God . The whole world belongs to God ,you and I belongs to God . We are nothing . Totally nothing . Repent now before it’ll be too too late .

Fisi in Tonga is flowers when Ancient Tongan Navigators discovered Fisi like flowers floating in waters Tefisi Tahifisi 'Otulau o Tonga ☺

I didn't know about this Samoan Community at Wailekutu until I happened upon this video by accident. I feel that they should revive their language, culture, traditions, music and dance. Be proud of who you are. Talofa lava

Isa, they would have come when Fiji was thriving I hope Fiji will return to her former glory. I never knew that there was a Samoan settlement, only knew of Tuvaluans settling near the area.

Talofae manuia lava outou uma I Ina I fiti

The Peters are the descendents of Tupuai from the aiga Sa Tusani of Savaia and the Lalogafau family of Matautu Lefaga

It’s amazing to see a Samoan image but you hear Fijian voice, just goes to show it’s only language that separate us. 🇫🇯🇼🇸🇹🇴

Isa stopped over at their quarters in Channel College, Samoa back in '93 for a cuppa & biscuit... Malo Lava Master & Sue. Good to see you with your family & community in Fiji. GB & Tofa'a 🙏

Fiji, Samoan and Tongan are our blood brothers.

Not matter where you come from,this is our home Fiji.

I served my mission in Fiji in the early 90s and I met some of this Samoan community who are members of the LDS church there in Lami. There were also some other Samoan families around the Samabula area who had been there for generations. I love and miss Fiji. The ika vakalolo with pele leaf and dalo. Indian curry and Indian sweets at the market LOL. Isa Viti!!

The whole pacific is related we all travelled between islands.

This is amazing, I never would've known there was a Samoan settlement in Fiji!! Hope to see more of your videos 👍👍 great stuff

Learn something new everyday. Thanks for sharing.

Yes my family lives there, Ah-Chang/Toelupe represent

Awww nice to see Susan and Joseph. I remember us kids swimming in the river

To all my Fijian brothers, as a Fijian we have to protect our Usos and our tokos, our Kiribati, Solomon's or whoever in the pacific live in fiji. Its our duty to protect all our cousins through the pacific live in fiji. God bless everyone.

We're all Fijians now. It's our home. This is Viti!

There is a Bougainville settlement in Fiji too during blackbirding days!

Shout out to the Sanerive family.

Master Lei,u were my teacher when i was in high school at Holy Cross College (Taveuni) . Glad to see you after such a long time...

Malo lava. Manui fa'a-fetai.

Aww Wailekutu is such a beautiful place with heaps of beautiful people from Kiribas, Tuvalu, Rotuma, Samoa. So respectful and have a great sense of humor. Made lasting friendships with famillies within Veisari settlement, I have so much respect and love for them, we South Pacific Islanders are so blessed to have this connection with each other. Never realized there was a Samoan Settlement until now through this video. Thank you for this video and sharing it as well.Vinaka Valevu💖

Beautiful prayers to you and your family.

Talofa e, alofa atu mo outou uma Samoa in Fiji

❤❤❤🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸

Thank You for this video post. I know there was also a Tongan community settlement there at one time. I recognize some faces of devout Catholics in this video. God Bless

Bula Master Lei .

I just came to know the Samoan settlement in wailekutu by watching this ♥️ this is so heartwarming realising how they've lived over the yrs. Hope to see this Settlement developed more just like any settlement or suburbs in Fiji..we are all citizens of Fiji and this is our home..God Bless ♥️

Good to see you Lei and Susan..Still remember you from our USP days. Met two ladies at Suva market late 1980s who had a booth selling Fijian handicraft and they said to me if I would like to meet and talk to their elderly father at their booth. I went and the elderly Samoan man who had a traditional tatau was emotional when he saw me and I told him that I am a Samoa student from Samoa studying at USP. He said he came from Samoa in the late 50s, married to a Fijian, raised a family and never been back to Samoa.

God bless you this was a lovely story and sad they are far from the motherland alofa Aku mo oukou Uma lava.
