Now as well as Samoan Independence Day it is also Samoan Language week in Aotearoa New Zealand this week and there are lots of events and activities taking place to celebrate the language and culture around the country.
Joining me to talk about some of the Samoan taonga, stories and experiences they are offering this week is Olivia Taouma, Teu Le Va Manager at Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum.
