Talanoa Principles

In Samoan culture, the Va breathes life into Talanoa—a form of dialogue. 

Through Talanoa, our elders (matua) connect with their children (fanau or tamaiti), fostering physical, spiritual, and metaphysical bonds. 

These connections help strengthen relationships, language, and identity in a holistic way.
