When I grew up there were no Samoan classes or resources near by so I travelled all the way to Hawaii to study Samoan language and culture. When I became a mother I was certain that I did not want my child to grow up without the connection to their Samoan heritage. We moved to Samoa so that he had this opportunity. Not many people can travel to Hawaii or move to Samoa to be connected to their Samoan heritage. This is why we started Measina Treasures of Samoa. We have developed Measina Cultural Connection after sharing other people's stories of not having classes close by or not being in the same time zone.
Imagine a streaming service dedicated to your heritage—a platform that lets you explore your Samoan roots anytime, anywhere. Sounds exciting, right? At Measina Cultural Connection, we’re bringing this concept to life with an on-demand video library designed to make reconnecting with your Samoan culture as engaging and accessible as your favorite binge-worthy shows.
For just USD $37 a month, you’ll gain access to:
- Authentic Samoan teachings, shared by highly respected cultural practitioners. We have our full Siva Afi Basics Course and are adding our new Transitional Course to Measina Cultural Connections.
- Practical lessons in Samoan language, traditional arts, dance, and storytelling, so you can bring these traditions into your daily life. Not only do we have our full Tamaiti Season 1 program, we also have our Samoan Language Basics Course, Samoan cooking and Samoan arts and crafts.
- Fresh monthly content—with at least four new videos added every month, there’s always something new to learn and love. Next month we will be adding our newest Samoan for Travellers course. This will have Samoan and English phrases that can be used by travellers to Samoa. Our native Samoan speakers will teach you Samoan phrases from subjects such as booking ahead, checking in, banking and so much more.
Whether you’re curious about traditional Samoan dances or want to brush up on your language skills, our on-demand library transforms cultural learning into a fun and flexible experience. No rigid schedules, no stress—just a modern way to reconnect with your roots on your own time.
So, grab your laptop, press play, and let the stories, traditions, and energy of Samoa fill your heart. The journey to rediscovering your culture starts now.
