For God and For Country... Thats what sets polynesians apart from the rest of the world.. Dropped a tear to the Ia Pepese church song at 1.44. :)

""Faafetai i lona alo, lena afio mai luga, le ua fai ma faapaolo, mai le puapuaga... Ia pepese ia pepese, aleluia faafetai, ia pepese ia pepese, aleluia faafetai"""

[chocajoe]

[alosioe8]

@hikurukutai eh, moe ki'o.

[jrleenah]

This film is amazing. What a wonderful job well done to bro Hagoth. It was a pleasure meeting you and the Aiga Team. Island Fest was a huge success and a great treat for the ppl. and children of AS. We hope you visit soon. Alofa atu from your Kana family!

[jrleenah]

This film is absolutely amazing! The images captured are breathtaking. A wonderful job well-done to our bro Hagoth. It was a pleasure meeting you and hosting the Aiga Team. Island Fest 2011 was a great success and a blessing to the people esp. children of American Samoa. We hope you visit soon. Alofa atu from your Kana family!

[TrueGreatness73]

Much love to my Polynesian people.. I noticed its only the younger dumber generations with no knowledge of our history that goes around and down talks other Polynesians.. Polynesians are 1 people. The only thing that separates Polynesians is them having different lands. As they separated from different tribes to colonize more land the language and culture "slightly" changed but that's it.

[MegaCoconutman]

wats the songs that are played?

[mbrigida]

Thank you HAGOTH for creating such an Inspiring and Educational piece so that we may understand the Passion behind the Samoan people ^_^ Muay LOVE! It was great geeting to know through Moni a few weeks ago... Keep it moving foward in the light of love!

[Kawika043]

Only Culture out there that's still wit its roots & about Love for all. Proud ta be par Hawaiian. Big ups & God Bless y'all

[yourm0msuxmybigcock]

YOU ARE WATCHING THE FUTURE KINGS OF THE NFL...POLYNESIANS

(SAMOAN+TONGAN) ALREADY DOMINATE COLLEGE FOOTBALL...IN 5YEARS OR SO THEY WILL TAKE OVER THE NFL...AFRICANS WERE THE MAJOR FORCE IN THE NFL...UNTIL NOW!..AND NOW THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO MOVE OVER & MAKE WAY 4 A BIGGER & STRONGER RACE OF PPL TO DEMONSTRATE THE FIERCE & AWESOME POWER THAT THE 'POLYNESIAN-JUGGERNAUTS' POSSESS... AS WELL AS THE KILLER INSTINCT THEY R BORN WITH...ALL HAIL 2 THE GODS OF CONTACT SPORT. DONT H8, I'M A REALIST.

[aionotemaari]

@hikurukutai Aotearoa doesn't need your stupid ignorance to represent any Maori, warrior or not!!

[aionotemaari]

Beautiful work Goth!! So very proud of the work you are doing!  Such a great voice in this genre of art!! Travel safe brother.

[Jenlove26]

i love the last part w/troy visiting 5tarkist comp. brought tears to my eyes evtime i watch that part. i love troy! and job well done on the film haggoth, i c ur a samoan/polynesian film producer good job n jah bless u on all u do w/ur films. God bless Samoa! mua mua le atua! i see a movie made about troy polamalu's life one day, the last part w/him riding in the back of the truck priceless! looks like a scene frm a movie. hopefully in the future! big ups to all the NFL PLAYERS as well.

[seafoodlover4]

@hikurukutai BTW ITS NOT A WHITE GOD KNO UR HISTORY BRO. JESUS IS FRM THE MID EAST OF HEBREW ISRAELITE DESCENDANTS WEA DEY ARE BROWNER THEN US OK. WHITE MAN INTRODUCED DA FAITH TO US AND WE ACCEPT IT B/C WE BELIEVE HE IS THE ONE TRUE GOD. DONT HATE BC SAMOA PUTS GOD FIRST! THATS WHY R BLESS ND STIL OWN OUR LAND. ND MOST OF OUR PEOPLE ARE FULL BREED SAMOANS. U GUYS ARE ALMOST DISTINCT. I LUV MAORI PEOPLE, BUT IF U WAN TAKE IT THAT FAR I WILL. SAMOANS R DA ONES PUTTIN NZ ON THE MAP W/RUGBY N MUSIC

[seafoodlover4]

JOB WELL DONE HAGGOTH, LOVE SEEING MORE OF UR WORK UCE! KEEP IT UP! MAN TROY IS AN INSPIRATION ALONG W/THE MANY NFL PLAYERS. JAH BLESS!

[seafoodlover4]

@hikurukutai um, last time i checked aotearoa was taken over by the white man and is owned by the white man, thats why its no long called aotearoa, but new zealand. im tired of u maori's always hating on samoans and our success in sports, entertainment, film, educ. etc. But, mainly that we stil hold on to our cultures and traditions. last time i checked samoa stil owns there Land. I agree w/Haggoth if u dont like the footage which portrays positiveness w/in the samoan people, BOUNCE!

[lylalynnm]

beautiful piece on our unique & God blessed culture, spirit, and people. truly thankful for the goodness of God that rests upon our people and the significant difference we carry in & through our sincere spirit abundant in love, unity, and respect that is the fa'a samoa. excited, encouraged, and challenged to build upon the past and present for our future generations. so much more talent & gifts beyond just the physical. we are blessed to be a blessing.

[ptrco5]

very inspirational film and proud to have many samoan friends who equally inspire me. God bless and the film was a great watch.

[jazzynjordan23]

Love it

[310Sole]

great piece. nothing like riding around the island in the back of a pickup.

[tremcneal]

This video makes my heart pour over with so much more PRIDE and RESPECT for our people!! Samoa Mua Mua Le Atua.. Because through him, we have been BLESSED.. We're such a blessed and creative culture.. I hope that the children of Samoa know they CAN DO ANYTHING they want and should never let their fears limit themselves.

[unkostan]

@hikurukutai Since You Must Be From New Zealand. You Can See How Our God Has Bless Our People Over There In Your Island. Polynesians Are Born Warriors But Please Don't Shame Your Maori People With Your Ignorance At Judging Another Polynesian Group. Samoa Mua Mua Le Atua (Samoa Puts God First)

[unkostan]

@hikurukutai Its Not About Praying To Old Gods Or New Gods. Its About Knowing Who Is The Real God & Pray To That 1. Seems Samoans Made The Right Choice As We Have Been Blessed. We Still Have Our Islands. We're Becoming NFL Players, Professional Athletes In Other Sports, Actors, Music Artists, Buisness Owners, Doctors (My Cousin Is One), Professors (My Sister Has A PHD & Teaches At The University Of Hawai'i), Law Enforcement (Many Out There Including My Brother Who Is A U.S. Marshall)

[SpadesMaster12]

We finna dominate NFL hahaaa Cheeehoooo!

[KFOBtv]

Outdid yourself on this one Hagoth. Fantastic job!

[TheInternetBoi]

@hikurukutai why dont you come to a samoan football team and say it to there faces?



[Jezekiel7]

Hikuruku bro Jesus was Jewish from the middle east. That makes him brown.

[seafoodlover4]

@Jezekiel7 LMFAO THATS WHAT I WAS GOIN TO SAY! PEOPLE NEEDS TO KNOW THERE HISTORY SERIOUSLY! THE WHITE MAN BROUGHT INTRODUCED IT TO US BUT THE ORIGINS OF OUR BELIEFS COMES WAY BACK IN ISRAEL/MID EAST LOL

[glethan0629]

@hikurukutai stop hating hori!

[katields15]

troy polamalu is such a humble guy...which makes him all the more of a better athlete :)

[neoAlchemist684]

Hagoth...WOOOW! That was badass uce. You captured the "it"...i don't know what, called the essence of our people or whatever, but u got "it" Great job uce.

[usolife]

[TheAngeltoDemon]

Troy Polomalu is a Fing beast, hope he stays healthy.

[TheAngeltoDemon]

Seriously, I truly believe someday that the NFL will be taken over by the Samoan people. For how many samoans there already are in the NFL, it's a ridiculous statistic. People are naturally big, tough and fast. Cool video troy

[Matdogg2k]

Navy Tuiasosopo passed away? My aunty is related to that family. My aunty's mom's name is Masaniai Tuisasosopo. She just turned 80.....R.I.P. Navy
