Samoana Integrated Learning Initiative

The word Sa’ili means to seek knowledge. This is the principle at the core of our community-driven movement. In seeking, we learn, grow, and carry forward the vibrant culture and heritage of Samoa.

The gogo bird that is featured in our logo, dedicates its life to flying extremely long distances to feed its chicks. It is also the origin word for fagogo (important storytelling practice) derived from fagaga a gogo or feeding and nurturing of the gogo birds.

We, like the gogo bird can be diligent and dedicated in seeking out and learning our Samoan history, heritage, and culture. In doing so, we can transfer this important knowledge to our future generations, which will strengthen their identity and help them prosper.
