For this task me and my group created a DLO about Samoan language week. My group and I designed the questions and answer them by using our smart seaching skills. We then also used our searching skills to find intresting facts. I leanrt why the samoan tatau is important? , Do both men and women get a tatau?. Is it important to get a tatau the tradional way?. I got to learn that the symbols for a tatau has diffrent meanings to it.
Do both men and women get a tatau ?
Both men and women can get a tatau but it has to be in diffrent parts of the body. Men has to get a tatau from they waist to the knees.For mens tatau i could take weeks or even months. For women to get a tatau they have to get it on their hand or on their knees to their waist which is called a malu. Samoan tatau is important because it repersents honor, community, and pride.
I found this activity really intresting because i got to learn what a tatau is and why its important. I got to learn what a tatau is and how it is tradionaly done.
