This is an educational video of "how" titles are bestowed in the Samoan culture and the intimate role of the "Tulafale" or "Orator" in the process. This example is a bestowal of the title "Faafotutupu Maualaivao" to my (Bob Ainuu Afamasaga) younger brother, Vaipou Afamasaga by the late, His Highness Malietoa Tanumafili II and his village of Malie. Vaipou is a descendant of the Mataafa Fiame Faumuina, Malietoa Ainuu and Malietoa Moli family. This is the 4 segment of a series of 8 Video clips [1 hr plus minutes]. Many of us Samoans who lived overseas have never witness these traditions. Appreciate Nuu Devoe for recording this. Thanks.
