Samoans and tongans hate each others only?
I would feel very sad for the few Samoans and Tongans who resort to this kind of feeling. I am Samoan, and I have a lot of Tongan family and friends. We are all God's children, and there is no room for hate in this world if we learn to live and get along with each other. God bless. Alofa atu and ofa atu.

Why is Samoan tattoo so important?
Actually, I researched this question when I was researching Samoan cultures. When I typed in "ta..." tattoos would always come up. Well anyways, to get to the point, I never got a clear answer. But what I did find out was that European came to Samoa a while ago. When they found out that Samoans were getting tattoos they just declared that tattoos were important. And even before that, there were these woman that sang a song. It naturally went like "Tattoo the women and not the men." but these woman changed the song and sang "Tattoo the men and not the Women." And just some other questions I could answer for you:
-What are the values in Samoan Culture?
Faith, Family, and Music.
-Traditional Dances?
Actually I don't really know the name, but it is a fire dance. It's like the dance you see in Lilo and Stitch. How they dance with fire. (I believe)
-Taboos?
Oh, um, taboos?? I'm going to have you research that by yourself. There are a lot. If you research, you are going to find a bunch of websites with taboos.
-What is the capital of Samoa?
Apia.
-Did women have their own little government and such?
Yes, they did.
Other questions you might have I am not going to answer. Research them. I've told you enough. There are a lot of questions about Samoa.
Thanks
How do you say sister in Samoa?
Uso, remembering Uso could also be used when you say Brother. It is used with both genders depending on the context of a sentence, and also on who is talking.

E onosa'i fo'i pea si o'u nei tagata
Fa'amagalo le tu'inanau o ou nei mata
