😍😍😍 As a Māori its a honor that our Pacific brothers and sisters are able to carry their traditions on this whēnua as we are all connected

[KennyonBrown]

[koicolo]

I'm a full blooded Fijian 🇫🇯 and my wife is Samoan! Everytime we listen to this song, it gives me goosebumps And even tho I don't really understand Samoan, this song is powerful . Is on repeat for me❤

[aminaspector]

I don't understand the Samoan language but this brought tears to my eyes. Samoan culture and traditions are so beautiful and deserve to gain more people's attentions. ❤❤

[juliahoughton]

Samoan women are such Queens!! Strong and beautiful.

[shonchon]

Much love and respect to my samoan homies. Y’all some gangsta peoplez with mad pride. Some of strongest people I ever met. El respecto from a Mexican 🇲🇽 here in San Diego, CA 🇦🇸🇼🇸

[KingJaames]

Ive heard this song so much that I had a dream about this video. Word for word in a language that i dont speak. I literally called off work because i heard a clip of this song at 3am, went on youtube to find it, fell in love with it, repeat until 4am, woke up, called off, went back to listening.This is a beautiful song. Even though i dont know the language, i felt it..
Im an addict to this song. Please, make more like this.

[thesoloas]

This song makes me cry it's so beautiful. I'm Tongan married to a Samoan and I'm so in love with this song. Now I know what song my babies will be doing for our family item next year. ❤

[KingTurok]

Showed this to my Samoan partner and I have a feeling they felt a bit more pride on their heritage. Samoans are truly a wonderful people. Much love from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[lifewithma]

I’m not even Samoan and don’t understand a word, but my soul did and I think that’s powerful. Goosebumps every single time 🥺Well done beautiful! 🤧💛

[mosacanite]

I am Marshallese 🇲🇭 and lemme just say OKA MAKA SE FIA!!! ILIKKUN EMAN (I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT)😆😆😆🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯💯💯

[Perseyus]

I'm a young samoan girl, and this song just takes me places. I grew up following and loving my culture, but never was really proud of it due to its popularity, but now i know this song and its meaning, I couldn’t be more proud of who I am. My culture is amazing and beautiful, and I am grateful to be who I am today. Thank you Aunty Tree for making this song because it helped me fall in love with my culture all over again. ❤🇦🇸🇼🇸🙏🏽❤️

[marissasboardwalk]

I always LOVE seeing such strong, unwavering cultural roots being proudly displayed and supported throughout the test of time. 💕💖💕 Seriously, it makes me wish that my people had the same pride and passion for our culture, instead of being shamed for 500 years to forget it... (I’m Mexican, American...more northern than the Aztecs, but more southern than traditional Native Americans from the USA) Indigenous Cultures are too beautiful for words. 💖

[tamanitokasa]

I'm full Fijian, don't understand Samoan language but this beautiful song always replaying or frequently humming to it. Proud pasifika Women 💪💕 much love from fj 🇫🇯

[nardiadouglas-huriwai]

I’m proud to say my children are of mixed Maori and Samoan decent, i gave birth to our 1st Samoan princess 2 weeks ago and this song gives me a whole new meaning, i play this song for her every night, i sure my partner falls in love with her even more every time we play this song for her, he is so proud of his samoan culture and glad my children are as well … ❤❤

[eliot]

"Absolutely Stunning"!, as a child my dad always told me, "no matter where this world takes you, "Never Forget" who you are and where you came from, it will help you climb the Highest Mountains and swim the Deepest Oceans"!!!

[BenMikha]

Proud moment. Hats off to everyone especially the uce Carlin!

[sofiahape]

I'm Māori/Samoan and I may not know what this song is about, but I can feel it. Proud to be Samoan ❤️❤️❤️❤️
