Thank you for your comments everyone, we had an amazing time.

Polynesians are the most lovable people on earth 🌍 and the most scariest when angry 😂

Wow what a beautiful film, thanks Neal for sharing your story and to the producing team for presenting this valuable piece of cultural information. Fire dancing - to dance with fire, what an artform.

Samoa 🇼🇸 translates to ‘sacred central’ the cradle of Tagata Pasifika but yah got to Love all our beautiful nesian island Families One thing I’m proud 🇼🇸 is of how our culture survived colonisation and is the first independent state and All our neighbourhood ( Pasifika nations ) cultures are emerging back , through all our nesian islands across the pacific including Aotearoa in a big way Chur! I wish one day for the indigenous people of Hawaii and many other islands have their lands and the right to rule how they see fit again I’m not at all saying palagi go home cos y’all have enriched our lives specially with the church but just let our people make our own decisions the way it was

polynesian warriors or samoan warriors. great vid but should be called heart of fire - Samoan Warriors. I was expecting to see Hawaiian, Maori in this video lol.

Why didn’t he close his eyes with the Maoris?

Well interesting story but we all know that Uluao Letuli from American Samoa invented the first siva afi or fire knife dance in 1946 and performed the siva afi in San Francisco. We have siva afi ever since. As for the Nifo Oti Kata for Warriors, that was done during the Tongan occupation of Samoa in the mid 16th Century when the Tunu ma Fata twins invented the Nifo Oti weapon to repel the Tongan invaders. The Kata performed by the deft Samoan Toa welding the Nifo Oti which has morphed in some elemental degree into the Siva Afi of today. A footage of the Samoan Nifo Oti group Siva or Kata is evidenced in archival New Zealand Footages in 1926 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZeBd7eqssrNmo0.html in 1 hour, 17minutes, and 30 seconds, into the footage.
