Samoan language week - art/tattoos

This week we are learning about Samoan language week the topic I chose was art/tattoos


I am interested in this topic because there are so many designs you can do.


3 key ideas you find about the topic:

pretty
cool
interesting 

why is this significant to the people of Samoa?

The tattoo and designs of the Samoa islands represents community, power, status, respect, honor, and is a mark of pride that are only to be worn by Samoans. For those who have no cultural influence or heritage background it is an act of disrespect to display their symbols and designs.


how does your topic compare to New Zealand equivalent?

Samoan art has more details, and New Zealand art is more creative, that's what I found out
