The Si'i Alofa, or Si'i for short, is an age-old Samoan custom of showing support from one family to another at important events and gatherings.
So for those of you in the know, this is just a tester to see whether you know your way around with a ie toga (fine mat). And for those of you who aren't, take out your pen and paper and have a listen! You'll be up on the know in know time!

Nice explanation for the younger generators. It can be much more complicated than that but the principles are explained here. One side goes to present to the other side, and the other side reciprocates either on the day or on another day. Personally, I think they should cut out all money and palapala malo from these presentations and just leave it at fine mats. Cheaper for everyone involved.

Good for nz born kids but the best learning is observe, participate and practise.
