Her grandmothers malu on her chest, the "upega" - fishing net signifying the capture of environmental and cultural knowledge. Adorned by Taufagalupe Faleasi'u, the fifth grandchild of Tuisafua Vaasiliifiti Tuma'ai Taumasaosili of Savai'i. My niece, in memory of my mother 🌺���️

Holding my great grandmothers bones wrapped in tapa during a sacred liu tofaga ceremony so she could join my grandmother, her daughter in the same burial ground.

No matter what.

Feeling nostalgic listening to Hotele Dateline by Seini Fakatava composed by Paula Leka. If you grew up in N’lofa you’d remember Paula Leka. He found contentment living a simple life in the heart of N’lofa. My grandpa’s fav barbershop 💈w/ the latest talk of the town.
