Thank you for always sparing the time to entertain and keeping our history alive on that side of the world.. As for me here in California,, I try my best to reach out as much as I can to the many Polynesians especially Samoan who have lost their battle here and have chose to follow other teachings instead of our own.. I carry one memory with me always and that has helped me win a lot of battles in my life,, and that is the only book that was given to me by my parents[The Holy Bible].. I have become a new person(child) as is it written,, "unless we become like a child we shall never see the kingdom of heaven.." I have always enjoyed the work of any Polynesian in New Zealand and Australia especially my people (Samoa),, it makes me proud to know that there are a lot of us who still represent who we are in the way we should have been from the beginning to the end.. I myself know no other way to represent who I am as a Samoan but by the only language we speak and that is the "Word of God"... May the light of God shines brightly in your ways,, and may you walk with the Lord in every path and road you choose in life,, he will surely guide well to his heaven and not to hell...

Keep up the good work,, and always "In God We Trust"...."Fa'avae Samoa i le Atua"
 

Thanks Mano'o, for your inspiring comment, and encouragement. Life here in NZ or anywhre for Samoans can be what you make it. There are obstacles but they're there to test your strength and will. I've overcome many as a Samoan, but my upbringing and background have kept my head up and moving forward. Pacific Underground has been a vehicle for us as Pasifika people here in NZ to ride, for expression, re-telling of heritage and contemporary stories, sharing of music and the crafting of our talents on and off stage in production, and management. Cheers for stopping by. Have a good week. TAN XX
