Samoa Tula'i

Vid clip of the meaning of Samoa flag.

starts 00.04

The Banner of Freedom is the national anthem of Samoa. Both the words (which honour the country's flag) and the music were composed by Malotutoatasi I'iga Sauni Kuresa. Samoa adopted The Banner of Freedom as its national anthem upon gaining its independence from New Zealand in 1962.

Samoan Helena Flag History:
The Samoan flag was adopted on February 24, 1949, while Samoa was still a trust territory of New Zealand. Samoa gained independence from New Zealand on January 1, 1962. The basic design of the Samoan flag was created in 1948. That flag was identical to the current flag except the Southern Cross star pattern had only four stars. The fifth star was added in February of 1949.

Malo lava Petaia!

I really enjoyed watching this video. After nearly 18 years of living here in the States (which I'm grateful to be a part of), my hubby is taking me and our 5 kiddies to visit the land of my birth, in May. Thanks for doing such a great job on this clip. It brought me many memories of "marching" at the beginning of each school day, and singing the national anthem. Anyhow, I look forward to your next pieces.

Thank you for the response!Well I'm glad that this clip was able to stir some good memories of Samoa and hopefully what you will be able to share new memories with your husband and children.

I've got a couple clips in the works so I promise they will be up soon!

Nice vid. I've always felt slightly ignorant at times for not knowing the meaning behind what our flag represents.

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:34

Righteousness is ours in Jesus name.

Check out Peter Ah Chings work on Polynesians. The referenced works that he cites on his website should clear things up.
