TMS HAWAI’I

Tagata Mai Saute Academy are heading to Hawaii in September!

We have been given the opportunity collaborate with So'otaga productions on a 3 day cultural exchange. Delivering workshops with in the community, learn how to preserve our natural resources, food and traditions while understanding the life of living by the land in the time of climate change and its affects to our islands. We will conclude our cultural exchange with our fiafia night concert, showcasing our style of Siva Samoa from the small city of Christchurch New Zealand.

This is an opportunity we do not take lightly as we navigate preserving our culture through the tough challenges we face. Connecting with other passionate performers and cultural activists. We cant wait to bring our learnings from Hawai'i to share with our community here at home.
