Fa'a Sāmoa, meaning "the Samoan way," is the traditional way of life in Samoa. It encompasses the customs, values, and social structures that define Samoan culture. Central to fa'a Sāmoa is the importance of family, community, and respect for elders, which guide social interactions and decision-making. The practice of fa'a Sāmoa includes various cultural elements such as traditional ceremonies, language, and art forms. It emphasizes communal living, where the well-being of the family and village takes precedence over individual desires. This way of life is vital for preserving Samoan identity and heritage.
