AIGA FOUNDATION PRESENTS "SEA OF HOPE" a polynesian experience

DEDICATED TO OUR USO NAVY TUIASOSOPO

This is the first of many short film documentaries that celebrates polynesian culture, art, film, music, athletics, and history through a contemporary lens.

We take small peeks into the lives of polynesian people from all over the world in their quest to succeed, live free, survive, and be happy.

Interviews mixed with short musical films come together to create a unique and semless blend of non fiction & fictional stories to illustrate the faith, humility, spirituality, determination, and success each of us posess.

"The hopes and dreams of our people, rest in the eyes of our children".- SEA OF HOPE

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.

Polynesian voyages originated from Asia not the American continent. Just think if your gonna say our children need to learn the history it should be the right one. Technically we all came from Africa also

[William Collins]

Our Ancestors, (The Native Americans) settled the Pacific Islands before the Europeans & the Africans got there. Now, we r mixed with Africans and Europeans. The Europeans, change the name of our Islands, from Rapa Nui Islands to Easter Islands, Europeans discovered our Rapa Nui Islands on Easter Sunday noon, so, now, they named it, Easter Islands.&, then they labelled our Islands, Polynesia, Melanesia, Marshall, Cook, Solomon, Indo, Micro etc. So, our children need to learn about our history.

[William Collins]

Im a mixed race, my grandpa is Irish-Jew and my grandma is African-Samoan, I was born in Western Samoa, and raised in American Samoa. Theres something very, very, important that our children needs to know, Us Pacific Islanders,The Rapa Nui people, which refers the our people, the Pacific Islanders, are the descendants of our Ancestors, the (Native American People), we are now mixed with (Africans and Europeans).

Rugby is played in Samoa.. formerly known as Western Samoa. Football to American Samoa is like Rugby to the other Samoa.. both excel very very well in their sport
