41:21 I thought that the significance of having a Soa is a reminder that the tatau does not belong to any one individual but in fact a commitment to a life of service to your people, village(s) and country. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong on what he meant by his parents saying "O lou soa o lou papa." or what the oldies said by "O lou soa."
SOA as in person to be your partner while going through the tattooing ceremony process. I didn’t have one but.The tufuga said it was ok my grandfather was my in spirit.
There are several reasons for the significance of the soa. Soa shares the journey; chances of survival of a seafaring journey were greater when traveling with a partner/soa. In addition, the tattooing process is dangerous, and back in the day it was not unheard of to hear someone getting very sick or dying from the procedure. So in the event that something happened to one during the process, the soa would continue the legacy of the pe'a and complete the journey.
Faalupega is how you will know your faasinomaga, and also the other person when you pay respect, and understand who that person is, or when you visit the village.

Read this book a while back and I was marvelled by the talent this gentleman from our shores hold! Albert Wendt has both art and creativity! I was told by my professor then that he was an atheist. So am interested to hear from him why?
His daughters books are enjoyable as well. As for the atheist part. I'm curious as well. Sometimes I wonder if it's due to bigotry. A person can praise God with one mouth, but with their tongue... slice into another.
