Traditional Samoan Ava (Kava) Ceremony

Full traditional kava ceremony (ava in samoan) as the village accepts our family reunion. This ceremony is a way to mark important gatherings or occasions like our reunion. "Samoans mix the kava plant with water in a bowl called a tanoa. The kava is strained using a special strainer called a fau, which comes from the bark of the Hibiscus tiliaceus tree. The kava is strained and then the fau is tossed over the mixer’s right shoulder to a male Samoan with a tatau, or tattoo. The fau is then emptied and handed back to the mixer. The process continues until the kava is ready for consumption. The kava server gives each participant kava in order of the participant’s social status, with the higher status individuals getting their kava first, and so on. The server will give each individual kava in a polished half coconut shell called an ipu tau‘ava. This recognition of the social hierarchy is prevalent in many kava cultures around the Pacific islands. Samoa is no exception." This took place in the Village of Fagamalo on the island of Savaii, Samoa. #samoa #savaii #kava #ava #traditionalceremonies #polynesian
