Aloha. Just so people know, when you get a Kakau you have no say in to what you’re getting. You tell your families history and what you been through to your artist and your artist should know every meaning to your history and paint the canvas

Many Fijians believed that our Samoan "Tatau" originated from Fiji. Let's take a minute or two and silently contemplate on that belief. If our "tatau" came from the Fijian then it's not ours. Right? Think about it, we are living a culture that was designed from another culture by someone else's mind.

To clear things up. Our people "Samoa" were the first Polynesian to practice and continue to practice the "tatau" traditional tattooing. We have Tufuga families in Upolu that have passed this tradition from generation to generation. With that being said, among all Samoan, Manua's were the first to practice traditional tattooing. Although the song indicated that the art of tattooing came from Fiji, but we're here to tell you it's not so.
In those days most Tongans and Fijians did not know that there was a village in Manu'a called Fitiuta and a residing place of the Honorable Tui-Manua the first king of Samoa. From Tui-Manu'a came all honorable Papa Ao (kings) like Honorable Tui-Atua, Honorable Tui-Aana, Honorable Natoa'itele, Honorable Vaetamasaoalii. Later came Honorable Malietoa, Honorable Salamasina, and Honorable Fonoti.

Our "Tatau" did not originate from the Island of Fiji but from the village of Fitiuta in Manu'a. The story go's Taema and Tilafaiga were daughters of Sina, these two sisters brought the "Tatau tools" to the shores of Upolu from the village of Fitiuta in Manu'a.

Also, the kingdom of Tonga once practiced traditional tattooing, but it was outlawed in 1839 by the Tongan government because it was considered unnatural in the Christian world. Despite the outlawing of tatatau (tatau) in Tonga, Tongan chiefs would still travel to Samoa (as they had done for centuries) to get tattooed by one of the tufuga tatau.

All we're saying here is...Our "Tatau" is ours, originated from our ancestors mind in Samoa and not from some distant land. That being said please let us know if you see a Fijian woman with a malu or a Fijian man with a tatau. The Missionaries tried so hard to banish the practise but were unsuccessful, Samoa believed this was our GIFT #AigaStrong
