Hey is this the boat Tui Manu'a Alia Matua known in the Cook Islands as Karika sailed on to the Cook Islands? If it is another name for it is called Vaafasifolau which means boat for slaughtering voyages for Karika was a WARRIOR
Samoa is looking for crew members to man their new ali'a!! I wish i didn't have prior engagements for i would love to have joined the rest of our polyneisan families in upcoming voyages.
this is the vaka (vaa ali'a ) Karika sailed on from his home in Manu'a ( Manuka ) In samoa...Pride hides the truth...but truth has been set in this vaka jorney...kio rana malo lave...
According to Rarotongan tradition after he arrived in Rarotonga which he named after the name of his malae ( marae ) in sampa he erected and named alot of the marae's and places in Rarotonga. He discovered Rarotonga/Tumu-Te-Varovaro. Rarotongan Makea royal family trace descent through Karika.
