The Longed Toothed Devil Of Falelima

In the village of  Falelima there dwelt a powerful devil who was possessed of a long tooth.After the death of this devil who was called nifoloa [long tooth.] the tooth continued to grow and ultimately extended after all the parts of the neibouring island of Upolu. Many people were bitten by this tooth and the bite caused a bad sore the evidences of which remain when the sore has healed.
People who are bitten by this tooth is referred as "Nifoloa."

Two Thousand Years Of History

The Beginning of Samoa Tattoos

The origin of Samoan Tatau was believed to have been introduce to Samoa by two Fiji women, who came ashore with tools and knowledge of tattooing. The tale proclaimed that the two sisters sang a song which chanted that women are only to be tattooed, but as they neared the beach shores the song mistakenly got reversed, only the men will be tattooed. At first no one was interested in their art and skills. It was difficulty convincing anyone to give them a chance. But finally one of the Samoan chiefs decided to give these women the opportunity by offering himself to the whole ordeal of getting tatau. Soon the art of tatau became a family tradition that spread throughout it's culture

MALIETOA!!!

In a really really long time,each of the families from Samoa had to be eaten by Malietoa,but each of the family chooses one member from there family and takes them to Malietoa to be eaten.Then suddently his brave son told the next family to take him instead,When Malietoa was about to eat,he looked at the person that he was gonna eat next, then suddently he saw the eyes of his son, but Malietoa did not have a choice, so he said im not gonna eat my own son and im not gonna eat any more people, and his brave son saved Samoan people, and that was the end of eating people for Malietoa and he said his words, and he keeped his word, and thats why Samoa people is still okay and alive.

The Rat And The Octopus

One day there was a mouse and an octopus,they were best friends. The mouse was running around and he needed to get through the river so the rat said to the octopus i want to go through but the river is too rough and i can't swim im a rat. So the octopus said jump on my head and hold on tight because the river is too rough. While they were going through suddenly they arrived. The rat jumped of the octopus head and then he said feel your head and see what is that on your head. The octopus felt suspicious then he felt something squisshy then the rat said i have did my business on your head. The rat laughed and ran away, so they were never best friends again.

Why samoa is important?

Samoa be came independent in 1962, samoa celebrate's indepence because to remember all the people that died in the war. Tupua Tamasese Lealofi the 3 died and he was the leader of samoa, and the last words he said was.......
My blood was split for samoa, I am proud to give it do not dream of avenging it as it was split in remain tainning PEAC.

The Shark & The Turtle.

 Back in the days, there was a blind old women who had a daughter that lives with her. Every single day the village would gather their food together and would pass it on to them too. One day, the village wouldn't give any more food to the poor old women and her daughter. The following day the old women was about to stave to death so she told her daughter to come close to her, they both went outside and stood still and held hands. They said " God please help us". that was their last and final words. 1,2,3 they jumped off the cliff and turned into a shark and turtle. The shark is the blind old women and the Turtle is the daughter. It was a very sad  moment for them......!!!

The New Zealand launguage is importance in New Zealand because it is the third most spoken launguage after English and Maori.
