No one owns any lands but what God has given us we must take good care and allow others to take part in sharing in good judgement without any prejudices accept that the chiefs in the village must not force anyone's decision in each family of giving their lands to anyone else in good faith without the whole family being in agreement if its a family owned
Thank you Tagata Pasefika for bringing these issues to our attentions, especially when our family name (Lealamanu'a) has close ties to the village of Sili.
These changes in Samoa are getting out of control & this administration should stop tapping into these collective families, villages & tittle affairs.
It was Western Samoa & now just Samoa 'cause "western" was added by foreigners...& now land reform? Give me a break, that's way too foreign, isn't?...& how about driving changes? What makes Samoa unique to the world is their "matai system" & the villiage matais should stand up & raise their concerns once & for all. Look @ Hawaii for example!
Tuilaepa is tripp'n. F***'* fat a**. Ave le land rights ma tao 'I se umu!!!

Keep fighting and preserve the cultural right to land ownership. Once it is lost, it is gone forever. Keep Samoan lands in Samoan hands.
