Love it: "It's like another telephone...it's (like) ringing to another tribe, saying: this is what we're doing'. Only in the Pasefika. <3

[UnlashedLiger]

In the cook islands it isn't called the Pate... you're probably messing this up with the Tokelauan name for the drum "Pate". In Cook Islands Maori it's called the "Pa'u" hence the reason as to why we call the dance "Ura Pa'u" meaning Drum Dance.

It's real good dat they have this program to educate younger genrations of their cultures and other respective cultures.... Remaining true to our roots!!!

Much Respect!!

[shortywanabathug]

Hey u speack da truth da one at top shot....

[PuiaAnua]

Yeah I was told by my aunties and mum that originally our dance costumes consisted of natural materials that almost completely covered the body because it was deemed inappropriate to bare the body. The skimpy costumes you see today are only here because its what the tourists saw else where and liked... So in a nut shell, sex sells!

[lifime]

sounds about right to me

[mzzynoa]

Yeah my nana told me the same thing

[jmatenga2007]

actually before the cloth and coconut bras came,they danced in long mother hubbard dresses and wore the grass skirts above the bellybutton for modesty

[empressoceaneye]

Very true, but some won't think of it so. The media have depicted it to be originally coconut bra and grass skirts only.

[Rekatar]

Nice reminds me of the Caledonian drums

[jayva31]

Beautiful..miss the islands sooo much...

[PwInceSsaHkS]

man if these were on dvdz i would def. buy..gotta no the culture history and our true identitys of our culture :) love it!

Kia Orana to all of my peoples!

[etikae1]

AWSOME!

Glad use had tha time ov yor life n our paradise!!

[5krum5hu5]

the BRA! aint traditional.....we wear coconut shells

[carde028]

the bra mite not b traditional but neither are the coconuts, they were brought in bcoz thats what tourists saw in hawaii and in tahiti. tradtionally u were sposed to cover all that up!

[empressoceaneye]

very true.

[toamaori]

Kiaorana, e uri au a Uke Ariki mai Akatokamanava. before the drums the canoe was used to drum on, but its kinda hard to lug a canoe to another village for dancing, so the made the Pate, but using the canoe to drum goes back to when all our ancestors were one. lol @ boom boom boom boom hehe
