@back2ourroots_pacifika: Before they created a flag system, before the passports, before they created borders, we were one people. From the sacred lands of Samoa, to the mighty Kingdom of Tonga, to the proud mountains of Aotearoa, we shared one ocean, one language, one blood. 🌊 They called us savages, but we were the greatest navigators, the scientists of the sea, the builders of nations guided by spirit and stars. ✨ Even when rivalry hit our streets in 1988, our elders chose unity over hate. Now it’s time our generation does the same. 🙏🏽 We are not Samoan vs Tongan. We are Pasifika✊🏽 one family, one people, one purpose. 💯 Let’s get back to our roots. 🌺 Let’s heal what was divided. Let’s stand together again. #WeAreOne #PasifikaUnity #Back2OurRoots #Samoa #Tonga 🎥 Clips & inspiration from @rootsofpolynesia (TikTok) & Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu (YouTube)

Selau :

Trev IV :

Roaster⚠️ :

so your saying Samoa is the best I mean the centre

Poetik :

Yes we are one people. We are the same people. We have our own decently and some customs might be different, yet we are still one people regardless. TONGAN, MAORI, SAMOAN, NIUE, FIJI, all of us ✊🏾

leka :

Tonga is the birthplace of polynesia, tonga is older than samoa

Mike275 :

100% brother we need to stop the devision and respect each other

Carter Kareroa :

That why the Cook Islands,Niue,Tokelau,Tuvalu don’t do what you said.Samoan and Tongans I know what happened in 1988 in Otara.It was then called Otara chopping centre

Huh? That’s a belief held in Samoa, but not in Tonga. Yes, there have been a couple of Tongan historians who challenged traditional Tongan beliefs, claiming that Tangaloa originates from Samoa, but they don’t speak for Tonga. Their claims are mostly assumptions or personal interpretations of what they believe certain things mean.In Tonga and its history, Samoa has never been seen as sacred or as the center of the Pacific, at least not from a Tongan perspective. If that were the case, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. The name Tongatapu means “Sacred South,” but in the Tongan context, it refers to the location of the main island, the largest in the entire Tongan archipelago. To the north lie Vava‘u, Niuafo‘ou, and Niuatoputapu; to the east is Ha‘apai in Hahake; and to the west are the smaller islands such as ‘Atata, Monuafe, Fafa, ‘Onevai, Mounu, and Ngau. Nowhere in Tongan history or talanoa does it state otherwise. Even in the ancient Tongan chant recited during the voyage of the Uveans to Tongatapu, when they came to pay tribute to the Tu‘i Tonga, the words “Kau Tokelau ia” were sung, affirming that tradition. At the end of the day, it’s all about perspective, and which nations see which places as sacred. But Tonga has never seen Samoa as the sacred center. That’s a fact. Tonga calls Samoa Ha‘amoa, and always has. We never called you “Samoa.” So please, don’t speak on Tongan history and claim Tonga thinks this or that because that isn’t true. I can’t speak for the other nations, but I can speak for Tonga, because it’s my blood and genealogy. Koia pē, Mālō. Have a look the me’etu’upaki lyrics from uvea 👇

Te Moana Nui A Kiwa 💪💯💪

Eagle :

Tonga is proud to be the cradle of Polynesia — the only kingdom in the Pacific that has never been colonized. The first King of Tonga dedicated the land and the people of Tonga to God’s protection.

viking :

Sorry uso we are different culture.. Samoa... and mario doesn't have a king... Tonga have a king 🤣🤣🤣

Cairo8 :

Both sides will share different stories. We can only respect and uplift each other in all we do. 🇼🇸 🇹🇴 💯

Mapz :

Give it a Rest Bro, It was just a Haka 🙄

Pasefika Mafuli :

Amen 🙏❤

Not So Wise Guys :

TOKO!!! You are ON point uce we are getting all getting set up by WE know who 👀

fknbng :

We are still one people. Just need to act like it, and stop following the YT mans narrative. The NZ government used to tell migrants from the Pacific, in the 60s and 70s that Maori were lazy and violent upon their arrival. This stigma is still very much intact today.

BeyondPerception :

I’ve been trying to say this for a while 🙏 we were united once, we were one people, we have been split and separated. I’ve tried spreading this all over TikTok to all our pasifika family, especially with current seperation following the rugby game. Too much toxicity going around our people, we should be standing together lol

@Anna Kauvaka :

Loi elooooo

Gusfj :

shinju4300 :

XReaPer 🇳🇿🏴‍☠️🚩 :

Jas :

Yass I agree. Umm can we say Aotearoa is better than Australia though? 😂

Mr. Lavalava 🇫🇯 :

Samoa is the heart of Polynesia* not the South Pacific. That title belongs to Samoa's older cousins in the West. The rest is agreeable.
