Samoan Independence celebrations Auckland 2009

[VeRsaChiee]

thank you to whoever uploaded this video.this is one of the most memorable moments of life. Having had the opportunity to deliver the Samoan speech during the cava ceremony while matais were present was really a huge challenge. Especially being a girl, it was weird to deliver the speech when all those matais and those who know the language and culture more than I do were sitting there and watch me do it. But somehow I was up for the challenge.lolzz peace out to all the McAuleyans out there..

Very, very nice way to uphold the Samoan Culture and language. It is nice to see our people keeping our culture together and enforcing the Fa'a Samoa. Good job!!! :)

This was a nice video and I appreciate the Samoan Culture is still practiced and upheld in the islands. It wsw great to see the language being taught to non polynesian children, a great work in progress. Keep the culture alive.
