Join us for a talanoa where we share the ups, downs and sideways of bilingual parenting from the perspective of two Sāmoans raising an Australian-born chief. Afio mai! We welcome you!
In this episode we reflect on how fa'a-Sāmoa values and beliefs have influenced our parenting approach. The well-known Sāmoan phrase "E iloa le tama Sāmoa i lana tu, lana savali ma lana tautala" means that the essence of "being Sāmoan" is in how you carry yourself and interact with others in a way that is respectful (fa'aaloalo) and appropriate according to Sāmoan values, cultural customs and social norms.
Talofa lava! This is the first episode of the Raising chiefs Podcast. Get to know who we are, where we're from and why we're here. Afio mai! Welcome!
