In Samoan, the Parade of Nations would have looked like this: American Samoa - Australia - Federated States of Micronesia - Fiji - Guam - Kiribati - Cook Islands - Northern Mariana Islands - Marshall Islands - Norfolk Island - Solomon Islands - Nauru - New Caledonia - New Zealand - Niue - Palau - (Papua New Guinea) - (Samoa) - Tahiti - Tokelau - Tonga - Tuvalu - Vanuatu - Wallis and Futuna
Jordie Alba anytime a Samoan Orator speaks the real tradition is that he has to take his ula an watch off an only hold the Staff an the flying whisk..If it were outside he would have the staff but since it’s in the house only the flying whisk is used...Every village has their own ways of doing things...The reason why he used the fue looking back he’s calling for the blessing of his family that passed away an are their in support of his lauga (speech) spiritually...Stay blessed..
That is awesome reasoning. Looking back to his ancestors. Love it. Yes you’re correct, every village/family has their own tradition/rituals in expressing faasamoa. Thank you for your thoughts. Manuia le afiafi.
