Tatau - Samoan Tattoo

A Tatau is a Samoan traditional tattoo. I learned about the Tatau this week. It was interesting because I have never heard about it before, but I have seen it. I think that the Tatau is very important to the Samoans and has a powerful meaning to them, but not all Samoans have the tattoo. 

Samoan Language Week - Main Idea

Since it is Samoan Language Week, Mrs Anderson created some activities about Samoa's traditions/culture. For this activity, we listened to a speech by Mata'afa Elia Autagavaia talking about how we should preserve the old traditions of the Samoan dances, and to tell the next generation how to correctly dance in Samoa.
