Tatiana Mahina she absolutely nailed it👌

[@krabby_patie219]

Are you the sister that couldn’t make it? Beautiful dance

[@ziyahhavea355]

She did brilliantly for her maiden tau'olunga. A beautiful dance by a beautiful Samoan-Tongan lady. Great song choice too, composed by Rev. Dr. 'Ahio, perhaps a relative of the choreographer?

[@jaywhelan1352]

Wooow awsome Ta'u'olunga with nice song aye

I love how the oil just lets the money stick. As a boy i love dancing behind the dancer and getting some lunch money

[@moliniraass]

@Matthias Pedro not sure if anyone cares that hacked a instagram account ...😐

[@villyuuga2607]

Hey do you do like a free style because I’m a boy doing one and I kinda need help 😅

[@teinelalelei8320]

Thats how you know she's pure if the money sticks

[@esetamoors2226]

I thought she's Samoan but I think she's half Tongan half Samoan. And she did the Samoan siva perfectly. Well done girl.

[@rileyl935]

Yup, her dad's Samoan and mum's Tongan.

Beauty & Grace !

[@vincentmano5016]

Does that same rule apply to weddings too? Re: father's sisters honoured

[@NAMUTAERZ]

Yeah , basically on every big occasion ie birthdays , weddings , funerals etc the fathers sisters are always honoured

[@ltmg9832]

Yes it does. All the money fallen and sticking on the birthday girls body is all the birthday girls. ONLY the money on the head is to the father’s eldest sister and only she can take that off her head. It should be a special relationship formed between girls and their “fahu” (father’s sisters). It’s kinda like the godmother. Girls show respect and serve for their fahu, because the fahu really should be looking out and watching over their nieces. Tongan tradition is run through an ancient matriarchal system. Daughters. Especially the eldest daughter of every Tongan family in our culture is our crown jewel and queen bee of our families. It’s not of just high status. It’s in ALL aspects of status in everyday life. Sons are special too and they have their own traditional roles, but the daughters hold a special place because she is the backbone in every unit she takes under her stride. Whether it be within the family she builds one day with the love of her life of her own, and looking out and taking care with the one she was born in. Sons always leave the nest and they eventually go. Even though for them, there is a mutual and equal respect on his part (from the wife and her family towards his side of the family too), but the husbands always follow where their wives go in our culture. Daughters always tend to stay and always come around no matter where life takes them in our culture. This is why a girl’s birthday, wedding, First Moon party (this is a bit more laidback for us, and every achievement she makes in her life are celebrated (boys as well) but it had always been a tad extra and a tad little more lavish in the Tongan culture. I hope that helps and explains a lot 😎

[@jaywhelan1352]

YES 100% TRUE

[@arianakefu]

She dances Tongan dance and Samoan dance so perfectly! And on top of that she’s beautiful ❤️ does anyone know if she’s half Tongan half Samoan? Best of both worlds. God bless

[@LA04]

😂😂

[@essji2024]

The Aunty who got $500 NZD should’ve returned the money and put it back onto the neice OR just kept $50 and given the rest back. Instead she gave $100 in AUD back🤦‍♀️ Sorry, not cool. Glad my family are the opposite of this aunt.

[@vn51gg]

She is samoan she did not understand the traditions in Tonga lol. And no she did not keep it for herself, it was given to the birthday girls mother.

[@selaimoala2438]

What's this song, please?

[@melanieweir-smith6804]

Fala O Ata - Ratland Entertainment

[@alabudzisz264]

Szkoda, że ta piękną muzykę zagluszają jakieś piwko, krzyki. Szkoda.

[@dasssn3183]

Why did they grab all the money off her?

[@helenjennys7874]

It's a Tongan tradition

[@nanisewakowako5077]

As long as the money is on her body, it belongs to her. In other words, once the money drops, anybody can claim it.

[@jackieiefono9829]

Its normally what Tongans/Samoans do

[@isuatam6542]

Whenever Tongans finish their tau'olunga the helpers depending on who it is, are in charge of keeping the money safe till the event is over and then they give it all to the bday girl. They can't just leave it on her cs there's a chance that the money would fall off when she walks back to get changed.
