Ua Fēala mai Tu’ugāmau
This is our call to action
Tūla`i mai, tatou TUTŪ FAATASI.
LEVI & ALAMUTU Sale'imoa, situated on Upolu Island, 55km west of Apia, lost over 800 acres of farm and residential land following a Land & Title’s First Court boundary decision on September 15 2023.
The decision has had historically significant implications for over 51 families from both villages.
Their indigenous inheritance ‘Faasinomaga and Tofi’ passed down from their forefathers, for over 130 years, was stripped without the right to fair justice or proper legal representation.
The following song is devoted to the struggle for our land. Aptly named ‘Ua Fēala mai Tu'ugāmau’, which translates to ‘Graves Awakening’, as parts of the land taken are grave sites belonging to families.
Inspired by a letter from Reverend Tafatolu Apelu Lelevaga, the song was written by Umuiletainafiletuamasaga (Umu) Nanai Misa Anae Pati Mua’au and was composed to unite sons and daughters of Levi & Alamutu, and all of Sale`imoa to come together for our HOMELAND.
