Who is the Queen of Samoa?
Samoa no longer has kings.However, the current head of state is His Highness Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi, who was elected to this charge by the Samoan legislative.However, if a Samoan hold all four Papa title, they would be consider king of all Samoan island west of Manua. Even with the current government who control Amerika Samoa, and Western Samoa, is a Samoan hold a 4 Papa title, they would be the King of all Samoa, even with American gvt. controling A. Samoa the person that hold all 4 papa title will be highly respect, and receive many many respect as if he is a Ali'i sili of Samoa.https://motusa.wordpress.com/2011/05/18/tui-manua/Click on the link and start reading.Tafa'ifa or King of Samoa, have to hold all the 4 Papa title to be recognize as king of Samoa. Malietoa was NOT a king but a Ali'i sili (High chief) of Samoa. Since both Samoa share same culture, who ever held any Ali'i sili title, whether it is in Samoa or American Samoa, That person is to be honor, and respect by every Samoan on earth! The current Head of State of Samoa is Tui Atua Tamasese Efi. Tamasese is a High ranking title like the Malietoa title! Foreigner will never understand how Samoa Matai system work if you don't do any research! It is an embarrasement that is going on today Samoans giving title to non-Samoan! it is also an a disgrace for a Non-Samoan to receive a tatau or any Samoan tattoo. There were some people who hold all 4 title in the past, long before european contact with Samoa. But Queen Salamasina was first to hold all 4 Papa title. And she became King of Samoa.1) Tui Atua - (Tafa'i) Tupai and Tainau2) Tui A'ana - (Tafa'i) Umaga and Pasese3) Gatoaitele - (Tafa'i) Fata and Maulolo4) Tamasoali'i - (Tafa'i) Fuga and Mauava* Tafa'i - Two attendants or protectors that sit to the left and right etc.. etc.. etc.....Who ever held all four Papa Titles became known as Tupu Tafa'ifa (King of all islands West Of Manu'a)
