Samoa Cultural Village in Apia, Samoa
In the center of Apia, the capital of Samoa, lies the Samoa Cultural Village. Open three days a week, the Village offers two hour long tours showcasing unique aspects of Samoan culture. The insightful tours are a perfect way to begin your time in Samoa. Acquaint yourself with the traditions still in practice throughout most of Samoa today through the live demonstrations at the Samoa Cultural Center.
Delve into Samoa's culture at Samoa Cultural Village, an interactive settlement where visitors can learn about Fa'a Samoa, or the Samoan way. With an emphasis on community and respect, customs include welcoming guests with open and friendly arms. Visitors are expected to respect the village, and in return are treated to demonstrations and lessons on traditional weaving, tattooing, and carvings. Do not miss the musical performances, which feature traditional dancers.
Welcome and Palm Weaving
Upon arriving at the Cultural Village, you are sat down to listen to beautiful, island music while waiting for tour guests to arrive.
The welcome at the Samoa Cultural Village
If you haven’t already been introduced to impressive palm frond weaving, you’re sure to be dazzled by the hats and head bands woven while you wait. You will later see woven palm baskets and plates.
Traditional Tattoo
Live demonstrations of traditional tatau (the Samoan word for tattoo) are the first stop of the tour. There is a long, rich history of tattoo in Samoan culture that was nearly erased by missionaries when they arrived in Samoa.
Visitors to the Samoa Cultural Center are allowed to enter the tattoo fale and watch, but out of respect for the Master Tattooist and those receiving tattoos, pictures are not allowed.
Tattoo Process
The tools of traditional tatau were carved sections of bone or boars tusk, attached to a wooden handle. These tools were dipped in ink, and then tapped into the skin using a tapping mallet. The tools vary in size depending on the tattoo pattern needed.
The master tattoist, or Tufuga, works with apprentices who stretch the skin and wipe away excess ink. While watching the process, the tour guide explained the cultural significance of tattoo, and how it has evolved to meet modern times.
The traditional ink from burnt nuts has been upgraded to modern ink. The tools used in Samoa are now galvanized metal, but the process still holds true to its authentic roots.
Samoan Cookhouse and Umu
The next stop in the village was to learn about the steps involved with cooking a traditional Samoan meal in an Umu, or earth oven. While umus were the only way to cook historically, many Samoans maintain the tradition and still prepare an umu each weekend with family.
Wood Carving
The tour next heads to watch a quick viewing of traditional wood carving. While there are some fun carvings that may remind you of the Disney movie Moana, most of the carvings are various ornamental bowls.
Tapa/Barkcloth Preparations
The final informative stop of the tour is to watch the process of making barkcloth, or Tapa, also knows as Siapo. The entire process is incredibly time consuming, so as you can imagine the use of barkcloth in modern Samoa is reserved for decoration and times of celebration.
Tapa is made from the inner bark of the Paper Mulburry Tree. This narrow strip of bark is soaked, then pounded, and finally stretched with smooth seashells to create thin sheets of cloth. Multiple layers are glued together to make the final Tapa.
To decorate the sheets of Tapa, ink is either hand painted or spread over carved wooden templates. While this design method is still used for Tapa, it has also met the modern world and used for decorating fabric.

수도 아피아의 중심가에 위치한 사모아 문화마을. 이곳에서는 매주 2회, 사모아 전통문화를 무료로 체험할 수 있다. 통나무에서 종이가 만들어지는 과정과 사모아 전통 무늬가 새겨진 천연 염색을 직접 체험해 볼 수 있다. 다른 한쪽에서는 코코넛 잎을 이용해 전통 수공예품을 만들고 있었다. 이 코코넛 잎은 사모아에서 여러모로 이용되고 있다. “코코넛 잎을 엮어서 저기 보이는 것처럼 지붕을 만들기도 하고 집을 꾸밀 때 이용하기도 하고 코코넛 잎으로 많은 것을 만들고 사용해요” 진행요원의 설명과 시범을 본 여행객들은 그 자리에서 직접 만들어 볼 수도 있다. “만들어본 경험이 있나요?” “아니요. 지금 처음 만들어 보는 거예요. 이분이 많이 도와주셨어요” “잘 하네요” “그럼요. 저는 딸이 셋이나 있는 걸요. 역시 엄마들은 모든 것을 잘하는 것 같아요” 손재주에 따라 개인차는 있다. 누구나 쉽게 만들 수 있는 것은 아니다. “이렇게 가운데를 중심으로 엮어 나가면 돼요. 노란색 줄이 보이죠. 이 노란색 패턴이 앞쪽을 향하게 하면서 계속 엮어나가면 돼요.” 뭘 만드나 했더니 원주민들의 전통 머리띠였다. 덕분에 기념사진을 찍어본다.

A Samoan cultural village in the center of the capital Apia. Here you can experience traditional Samoan culture twice a week for free. You can experience the process of making paper from logs and the natural dyeing of Samoan traditional patterns. On the other hand, they were making traditional handicrafts using coconut leaves. This coconut leaf is used in many ways in Samoa. Weaving coconut leaves, making roofs as you see them, using them to decorate the house, and making and using many things with coconut leaves. Tourists who have seen the demonstration and demonstration of the facilitators can create them on the spot. Do you have experience in making? No. I'm making it for the first time. He helped me a lot. Good. Sure. I have three daughters. I think mothers do everything well. There are individual differences according to dexterity. Not everyone can easily make it. You can put it in the center. I see a yellow line. This yellow pattern is facing forward and we can continue to weave. What I made was a traditional headband of Aboriginal people. I take a picture of the commemoration thanks to it.

이곳에서는 사모아의 전통 조리방식도 직접 볼 수 있다. 하얀 액체는 코코넛 즙에 양파와 소금을 넣어 만든 크림이다. 이 코코넛 크림을 토란잎에 넣고 동그랗게 싸서 봉해 놓는다. 그다음, 평평한 땅에 불을 지피고, 그 위에 돌을 쌓기 시작한다. “우리 조상들이 이곳에 처음 왔을 때 나무가 많지 않았고 또한 계절이 여름과 겨울 두 가지 계절만 있었습니다. 그래서 땅 위에 가마를 만들면 열을 오랫동안 유지하기 힘들어서 땅을 파고 굴을 만들어서 그 속에 가마를 만든 뒤 열이 지속되도록 흙으로 덮은 거죠” 돌이 뜨겁게 달구어지면 그 위에 바나나, 타로, 브레드 프룻 같은 먹을거리들이 올려진다. 싱싱한 참치도 올려졌다. 준비해 놓았던 토란잎에 싼 코코넛 크림도 올려놓는다. 마지막으로 바나나 잎을 겹겹이 덮어 재료를 푹 익힌다. 이것이 바로 ‘우무’라는 전통 요리 방식이다. 음식이 익어가는 동안, 무대에서는 여행객들을 위한 환영 행사가 이어진다. “여러분을 환영하는 의미로 한 잔씩 드릴 겁니다. 이 잔을 받으시고 마시기 전에 랑위아 라고 외쳐주세요” 랑위아는 사모아 사람들에게는 땅과 물의 화합을 의미하는 말이기도 하다. 이어서 사모아 원주민들의 전통 음악과 춤이 어우러진 공연이 시작됐다. 강한 리듬과 재빠른 동작이 상당히 강렬하다. “이춤 이름은 찌바사모아 또는 파짜우파찌라고 합니다. 이 파짜우파찌 춤은 손을 이용한 슬랩 댄싱이죠. 그리고 싸싸라는게 있는데 바로 나무드럼을 뜻합니다. 이 나무드럼을 이용해 장단에 맞춰 추는 거죠. 옛날에는 기타나 그런 악기들이 없었기 때문에 나무로 드럼을 만들어서 춤을 추기 시작한 거예요.” 날아갈 듯 가벼운 발놀림과 부드러운 손동작이 남성들의 춤과는 상당히 대조적이다. 공연이 끝나자 여행객들에게 기다리던 음식이 배달됐다. “이 음식은 사모아 전통음식인데요. 여기에는 참치, 바나나, 브레드 프룻, 토란 그리고 시금치가 있어요. 이것이 저희가 아침이든 점심이든 매일 한 끼 정도는 이렇게 먹습니다.” 조리방법이 특별해서인지 별다른 양념이 첨가되지 않았는데도 모두들 맛있어한다. “맛있었어요. 저는 토란이랑 황다랑어를 좋아하거든요.” “아주 좋았어요. 유용한 지식들이었고 사모아 문화나 생활방식 그리고 음식 이 모든 걸 경험할 수 있어서 좋네요.”

Here you can also see Samoan traditional cooking methods. White liquid is cream made of coconut juice with onion and salt. Place this coconut cream in taro leaf, wrap it in a circle and seal it. Then, on a flat ground, we light a fire and begin to build a stone on it. When our ancestors first came here, there were not many trees, and there were only two seasons - summer and winter. So, when you make a kiln on the ground, it's hard to keep the heat for a long time, digging the ground, making a oyster, making a kiln in it, and covering it with soil to keep the fever going. When the stones are hot, they will eat banana, taro and breadfruit. Losing. Fresh tuna was also raised. I put the cheap coconut cream on the taro leaf which I prepared. Finally, the banana leaves are covered in layers to cook the ingredients. This is the traditional cooking method called 'Umu'. While the food is ripe, there is a welcome event for the travelers on the stage. I will give you a glass to welcome you. Please take this cup and shout Ranguea before drinking. Ranguea is a word for the Samoan people to mean the harmony of land and water. Then, the traditional music and dances of the Aboriginal people of Samoa were mixed together. Strong rhythms and quick movements are quite intense. The name of this dance is called Chiba Samoa or Pata Uappachi. This paupach dance is hand slap dancing. And there is a wrap around, which means wood drums. I use this wooden drum to chase it to the end. Once upon a time there were no guitars or instruments, so I started making drums in wood and dancing. Flickering footwork and soft hand motions are in stark contrast to the dancing of men. When the performance was over, the food that was waiting for the tourists was delivered. This is Samoan traditional food. There are tuna, bananas, breadfruit, taro and spinach. This is how we eat one meal every day, whether it is morning or lunch. Everyone is delicious even though the cooking method is special and no other seasonings are added. It was delicious. I like taro and yellowfin tuna. It was great. It was useful knowledge, and it is nice that Samoan culture, lifestyle and food can experience everything.
