E anoanoai auala eseese o loo faaoo atu ai fesoaosani i nai o tatou tagata i Samoa sa iloga ona mafatia i auga o le galulolo na sei faatoa mavae atu nei.
E ese mai fesoasoani i seleni ma taumafa faapea lavalava ma mea mo le toe fausia o o latou fale ma apitaga na faaleagaina, ae o se tasi lenei o auala sili ona taua ma faigofie, ua manatu nisi fanauiti mai le aoga tulagalua a Sunnyvale School i Henderson, e fia faaoo atu ai sa latou foi fesoasoani i nai tagata ua mafatia, aemaise lava i nai fanauiti o afioaga sa afatia.
I se faamatalaga mai le tamaitai faiaoga o le Tausaga Muamua ma le Lua i lea aoga, na ia taua ai, ina ua toe a‘e atu le tuuaga a le fanau, e tele tala na latou faamatala e uiga i le galulolo ma le mafuie i Samoa, atonu o tala sa latou faalogo ai i leitio, matamata i televise, pe faalogo foi i o latou matua o talanoa ai.
Sa faatalanoa i le latou vasega lenei mala na tupu i Samoa, aemaise le galuega tele o loo toe faia nei e nai tagata i Samoa, e toe tapena ma faamautu o latou nofoaga ma meatotino.
O le upu na lagona ai le ootia o le tamaitai faiaoga, ina ua faapea mai se tasi tamaitiiti, o Samoa o se tausoga (cousin) o Niu Sila; o ina na ia iloa ai, le mafanafana ma le vavalalata o lagona o nei fanau i nai o latou uso ma tuafafine laiti o i Samoa. Ma ua latou malamalama ai foi i le mafuaaga o loo malosi ai le lagolago ma le fesoasoani a le Malo Niu Sila i le mafatiaga o Samoa i le taimi nei.
I le taimi o tusigatala a lenei vasega, sa latou filifili ai, o le auala lenei e faaoo atu ai le latou fesoasoani ia Samoa, e fia tusi ni a latou tusi, e faaleo atu ai o latou lagona mafatia i le puapuaga o Samoa.
Ma o se fanoga mai le tamaitai faiaoga, se avanoa i le Samoa Times e fia lolomi ai tusitusiga a nei fanauiti, ina ia mafai e le mamalu o Samoa o loo alaala i Niu Sila nei faapea Samoa, ona latou silafia, o loo mafatia faatasi mai foi nai nei fanauiti i lea pito o Aukilani, i faanoanoaga o loo iai Samoa i le taimi nei.
O le ulutala o a latou tusitusiga e faapea “To the people of Samoa”. O le a lomia pea a latou tusi i le gagana Peretania na tusia ai, ina ia silafia tonu ai lagona moni o nei fanau a o tusia a latou tusi.
