I do not have Pacific Islander ancestry myself, but I have been practicing the Samoan art of Siva Afi (fireknife dancing) for 12 years. I worked with world-champion fireknife dancers, Samoan speakers, and a Samoan artist to create a card game about it:

Robert Louis Stevenson’s #shortstory “The Bottle Imp” was first published (in English) #OTD, 8 Feb 1891, in the New York Herald. It was originally published in #Samoan translation as “O le Fagu Aitu” in the missionary magazine O le sulu Samoa (The Samoan Torch)

I honestly think it’s the coolest thing that #TeReoMaori, #Samoan, #Tongan, and #Hawaiian languages all have words with the exact same meaning, and almost exact same spelling/pronunciation.

My body is an empty canvas and I have been content with that for a long time now. My husband has some of the most beautiful tattoo work representing several Polynesian styles. When I see his tattoo that represents his travels and his life story, I wonder if I want that for myself as well.

here's an obscene poem by #symbolist poet #arthurRimbaud set to music in a kind of doowop vibe - sung in French and English **at the same time** - a kind of "facing translation" - #countertenor #DylanHostetter (formerly of #chanticleer) sings the French and fab #samoan #lounge singer #JoeMoe sings the English

Although SF might not be as decorative during Christmas time as American Samoa, Samoan residents in the Bay Area make it a special time of “prayer and celebration and commitment to Christian values, with gratitude front and center.” #SFBA #SF #samoan #Christmas #WinterHolidays
