———————————————————————————-

The Constitution And The Fa’alupega Of All Samoa: By Dr Kramer: 1897 to 1901.

THE CONSTITUTION AND THE FA’ALUPEGA OF ALL SAMOA

By Dr. Augustin Kramer: Translated by Dr. Theodore Verhaaren: Researched in Samoa from 1897 to 1901.

According to the history of the constitution presented above, it and the fa’alupega resulting from it, assume the following form: We find that the Kingdom of Samoa is linked to the possession of certain titles (four) which are conferred by the places of government of A’ana, Atua and Tuamasaga; and there in fact only certain families of orator chiefs have the right to confer these titles. The king, ruling at a given time, designates his successor (in most cases one of his sons), taking into consideration not only the latter’s personal qualities but also in particular his mother’s distinguished blood line, because he knows that in view of the wealth of his maternal family, the tumua (Leulumoega and Lufilufi) look with special favour upon such designation. If the successor has extensive family connections, being a tamaaiga “son of families”, he is certain to be chosen. If a paramount chief possesses the four titles Tui-A’ana, Tui-Atua, Gatoaitele and Tamasoali’i, he is called tafa’ifa and King of Samoa (tupu o Samoa). The title Malietoa has nothing to do with kingship, just as little as f.i. the title Mata’afa. Here the statements in Stuebel p.104 are not correct. By Samoa in this connection is meant Upolu including Manono and Apolima, Savai’i, and Tutuila including Aunu’u, while Manu’a does not participate in matters concerning western kings. Since moreover Atua’s administration of Tutuila is only rather loose and divided, the new regulations of the political situation (the assumption of a protectorate regime over Tutuila and Manu’a by the United States) will represent no significant changes in the matter of kingships as such. The king had nothing to do with the inner affairs of his kingdom. Each district governs itself, the orator chiefs thus authorised calling a meeting of the whole district at the place of government, as may be so reviewed in the fa ‘alupega of the principal places of Upolu. Each district is divided into a certain number of communities (village communities), which govern themselves in like manner. Even if the whole kingdom has need to establish a policy, the tumua calls a general fono, which in most cases takes place in Leulumoega. Since even in ancient times only Upolu and Savai’i were involved, the composition of this fono was and remains the same, as may be observed in the following fa’alupega, the greeting with which the first orator chief of Leulumoega named Alipia opens the great fono at Leulumoega, his place of government.

FA’ALUPEGA OF ALL SAMOA: THE GREAT HONOURS OF ALL SAMOA.

TULOUNA A TUMUA, (Greeted the Tumua. Leulumoega and Lufilufi, and a mark of respect here also applied to Afega, the place of government of the Tuamasaga district; otherwise normally Laumua in differentiation from the Tumua)
TULOUNA OE PULE, (Greeted you Pule. This designation refers to Safotulafai, the mightiest of the six places of government of Savaii and thus also to all of Savai’i)
TULOUNA ITU’AU MA ALATAUA, (Greeted Itu’au and Alataua. Refers to Safata and Faleata in Tuamasaga)
TULOUNA AIGA I LE TAI, (Greeted the family of the sea. Honouring designation for the little island of Manono)
TULOUNA A LE VA’A O FONOTI, (Greeted the ship of Fonoti. Honouring designation for all the districts, villages and chiefs by King Fonoti).

NOTE: This All Samoa Fa’alupega from Two Occasions: (1.) TUMUA MA PULE; from the four wars by warrior Goddess Nafanua for the titles, and Tupa’i to bestowed the four titles to Salamasina. (2.)

Again the King spoke: Come, that I may determine our affairs so that your children and mine will fare well. The following were the words of King Fonoti: “The Four High Titles be for me and my children, while the Title Tonumaipe’a be for you and your children.” However, if you ever again reach for my things, you and your children shall be the prey of the creepers (in the grave) and water shall flow below you; if on the other hand I should reach for your things then I and my children shall be seized by the creepers and water shall flow under me.

Story Of Taufau’s Terminated Line Of Succession, And Bestowed Her Younger Sister Sina.

Taufau was sick. She said: Let our family and faleupolu gather and have a messenger go to my son, have him come quickly to see me once more, for i am weak. The messenger went to the son who was catching pigeons inland of Falealili and Safata. And so Tupuivao said: “I am not coming, Taufau’s sickness is not as great as my desire to catch”. So the man went again and reported to Taufau: Tupuivao is not coming. So the woman said again: Go once more, tell him to come quickly, I am about to die. And the messenger hurried once more to him and said to Tupuivao: Come, let us go, the Queen is very weak. Tupuivao answered: “I will not go until i have caught the pigeons after the full moon”.

So the messenger returned again and said to Taufau: “He is not coming; he said he would stay until he had caught the pigeons after the full moon”. Then Queen Taufau spoke: “Let our family and the Tumua gather; heed my word; as i am growing weak, my own descendants and their line are to be teiminated and my sister Sina’s line is to take it’s place”.

You Faumuina (Sina’s son), have no fear when that fellow comes and wants to make trouble, for the family stands behind you and the faleupolu will follow you. If the Tumua want you to be king, you alone will be king, for I have cut off my own descendants. As Taufau suspected, Tupuivao did not take this lightly but started a war. But he was defeated by Faumuina and exiled to Tutuila, like Va’afusuaga and others.

Tu’umalo O Tuiatua Mata’utia Fa’atulou, le to’alua O So’oaemalelagi.

Tu’umalo o Tuiatua Mata’utia Fa’atulou.

Ona tautu lea ole fale o Leifi ma Tautolo ia Mata’utia ile tama’ita’i o So’oaemalelagi Levalasi. Ona nofo ai lea So’oaemalelagi Levalasi ia Tui-atua Mata’utia Fa’atulou. O le aumoega lenei e iai le upu fa’asamoa o faia nei, “tau ose mea e ala ai”. O le aumoega lenei fa’ato’a maua ai le igoa o Mata’utia: Mata’utia Fa’atulou. Na fiafia tele So’oaemalelagi Levalasi i le manaia o Aleipata ma le alofa i lona to’alua fou, ua olioli tele ai ma manuia lona olaga ina pe ana le seinoa le amio faitogafiti a Leifi ma Tauloto.Ua aliali nei le a’ano o mea na tauanau ai Mata’utia e fa’aipoipo mo So’oaemalelagi Levalasi,o le fia aumai lea o Papa e fa! o lo’o ia Nafanua mo Atua. La te le’i o iai i le tama’ita’i ma lo la manatu fa’apito, a ua fa’aui ane i lana tane, aua ua la iloa e malosi ai le la pule I mea tau suafa ma mea tau faletua. Ae na te’ena vave e Mata’utia lo la manatu. Ua uma ona iloa e Mata’utia e le mafia e A’ana ona tu’u mai o lena Papa se’iloga ua fao fa’amalosi, ma o le uiga la o se taua fo’i. A’o Mata’utia e mana’o tele i le filemu ma le fealofani. Ua le malilie o Leifi ma Tauloto o le te’ena o lo la taofi e le ali’i, ua o i aiga ma saga mafaufau atili. Ua mavae ni aso, ona toe o ane fo’i lea i le ali’i e tauanau pea. A ua atili ai ona mau o le finagalo o Mata’utia, ma ua totama’i tele ai le ali’i i tulafale, aua ua aliali mai lo la loto fa’amaualuga e fia pule aoao i Upolu ma Savai’i.

Ua o’o i le tasi aso, ua fa’alogoina e tulafale o Papa e fa! Ua folafola ia So’oaemalelagi Levalasi i lana malaga na alu i Falealupo. Na manatu loa e sili ona foa’i tonu i le tama’ita’i.

E tasi lava le loto o So’oaemalelagi Levalasi ia toe fo’i atu Papa i le nu’u moni o e latou ia Papa, ae na o le Tuiatua ua tatau lea mo lana tane. Ua atili ai ona le malilie mana’o fa’aalualu o Leifi ma Tauloto.

Ua mavae ni isi masina, ua fa’ateleina pea le fiafia ma le fealofani o le ulugali’i a Mata’utia ma So’oaemalelagi Levalasi. O le tasi aso a’o la tofafa, na fa’alogo a’e ai So’oaemalelagi Levalasi ua savali le tagata i lo la fale. Na ia nofo a’e i luga, ae ua iloa se tasi, a’o lo’o tofa pea Mata’utia i ona tafatafa. Na liliu le ali’i ma fa’afuase’i ona e’e ma le tiga tele. Na tago atu So’oaemalelagi Levalasi po o le a, ae te’i ina ua va’aia le foto na tuia ai lona itu. O le fasioti e le taumate, au’a e le o le foto ea ua masani ona fasiotia ai ali’i?

Ua mavae ni nai aso ina ua uma le lagi o Mata’utia, ma le mafatia tele o So’oaemalelagi Levalasi i le maliu o lona to’alua pele, e le taumate o le mea lea na fafano ai le ma’itaga o le tama’ita’i ua fanau mai o le alualu-toto.

NOTE: [‘The Paegauo War’ or ‘The War of the Tupufia’ between Fonoti and his kin Samala’ulu and Va’afusuaga for the Tafa’ifa Kingship.] Fonoti won and was ultimately proclaimed The King Fonoti Tafa’ifa of Samoa and held all four Ancient Paramount Titles of Samoa [also known as ‘Tafa’ifa’]. King Fonoti conferred many honours, rewards upon all and such privileges etc. are still honoured by all. And there was no other war ever since or recorded in history by anyone raised against King Fonoti Tafa’ifa nor through the bloodline and title lineage the ‘Sa-Fonoti’ right down to the present time to claim the four Papa titles namely as:
– Tuiatua.
– Tuia’ana.
– Vaetamasoali’i.
– Gatoaitele.
(King Fonoti’s words in his wish: “The Four High Titles Be For Me And My Children”)

The distribution in the war was about as follows: with Fonoti: Fagaloa, Faleapuna, Falefa, Saluafata, Solosolo, Vaimauga, Faleata, Safata, Falealili, Fasitoouta, Falelatai, Manono, half of Lufilufi and of Leulumoega; on the side of Va’afusuaga Tole’afoa and Samalaulu were: Aleipata, Luatuanuu, Lepa, Lotofaga, Siumu, Faleula, Sagana, Sale’imoa, Faleasi’u and Samatau, also all of Savai’i island through Va’afusuaga Tole’afoa’s influence.

Reference To: Lauaki Namaluaulu Mamoe of Safotulafai in Savaii, he claimed that Malietoa held none of the titles, not even that of Malietoa, since none had been bestowed by Samoan custom. In this contention Lauaki was supported by the Orators of Malie and Manono. Another was the most powerful chief Tamafaiga of Manono in 1810 who gave himself the title as ‘Tupu o Salafai’. According to this tradition the only person to hold the Tafa’ifa since Salamasina was Fonoti who was known as Fonoti the King.
