The Core of Fa’a Samoa with Namulau’ulu Dr. G. Tavana | Breaking Waves w/ Hana Schmidt

The Core of Fa’a Samoa with Tofa Tavana Va’afuti II Namulau’ulu G. Tavana | Breaking Waves w/ Hana Schmidt

There’s a Samoan expression: “E fesuia’i faiga, ae tumau le fa’avae” — our ways may change, but the foundation stays the same.

In this conversation, author Dr. Tavana unpacks his book 'O Agafa'avae o Samoa - Core cultural values of Samoa' and speaks to Hana about the values that have carried our people through generations. From ole Tofi to the Matai system, from Vā fealoa’i to fautua alofa, he explores how these values shape who we are and why knowing the reason behind them matters just as much as knowing what to do.

This is more than a lesson in tradition. It’s a call to remember, question, and live with intention.

Watch the full interview and discover the foundation that keeps Fa’a Samoa strong.
