Love the Story Suluape....How greatfull as a N.Z born Kiwi-Samoan {KIWIMOAN}, knowing that our Ancestors kept our Traditional Tatau / Malofie / Pe'as ongoing despite it being banned by the early Missionaries and Christianity being introduced to our Motherland. Always in awe when I see a Brother {Uso} or Sister {Tuafafine} walking around the Public showing the Tatau or Malu with pride.

nothing feels better to a samoan child than to get their families blessing to do something they love. Samoans are hard on their kids but they also love their kids hard. I got my ass beat growing up but i always felt like there was a good balance between discipline and love. Greatest culture on this planet.

Why I'm so proud to be born this blood, and to be blessed with a malu. The things that God provided our culture is so sacred, I pride on these tafuna's and thier gifts. Blessings up. Manuia 🌺

[@siasingh8894]

Elizabeth, some of these kids are so disrespectful. Se’i loga e po fa’alelei aukaliga. Probably the only Samoan word he knows.
