2. Tausala Lālelei o le Pasefika (Miss Pacific)
3. Tausala Lālelei o Sāmoa (Miss Sāmoa)

Like the completion of every fale Sāmoa (traditional Samoan house), the roof or “taualuga” is the last part of the house to be built. Thus the word “taualuga” refers to the final dance of any performance and is led by a person of high rank, whether a tamāliʻi (high chief) or his/her designated representative, the tāupou (daughter/female representative) or the mānaia (son/male representative). In this clip, the reigning Miss Pacific and Miss Sāmoa, Moemoana Saʻafaʻatoʻa Schwenke performs the taualuga for the delegation from the Independent State of Sāmoa.

VĀIASO O LE GAGANA SĀMOA + SAMOAN LANGUAGE CLASSES

26 May - 1 June is Vāia*o o le Gagana Sāmoa (Samoan Language Month) in Aotearoa/Niu Sila (New Zealand) and coincides with Independence Day in Sāmoa.

This year’s theme is “Tautua i le alofa, manuia le lumanaʻi” “serve with love for a blessed future.”

Tautua or service is a core value of Samoan culture and is based on alofa (love) and faʻaaloalo (respect). This year’s theme encourages us to serve with love, both to honor our ancestors and our past and to bring about a prosperous future for our current generation and generations to come.

‘Upu Fou:
1. tautua (v) - to serve
2. alofa (n) - love, compassion, mercy
3. manuia (adj) - blessed, prosperous
4. lumnaʻi (n) - future

Please stay tuned for our upcoming Samoan language programs this upcoming month. For more information or to sign up for our email list, please visit www.samoanamedia.com or www.aogasamoa.org. We will share our program schedule for the next couple of months in the next few posts.
