Pacific Islander Real Estate
HistoryTafesilafa'i started in 1997 as a conversation about meaning making in the Samoan community, and it has grown into an inquiry into ways of being in the urban Pacific Islander communities in California. The Festival is an integration of indigenous, cultural, and religious values in ways that accentuate the importance of family, community, and others. These values are expressed through music, dances, narratives, and rituals. Participants in Tafesilafa'i deepen their faith, hone their talents, and heighten their cultural awareness as they commune with others, reaffirming respect for God, family, self and the greater community.SpecialtiesThere is something for everyone at Tafesilafa'i.
