O ai mātou? | Who are we? | Kō wai mātou?

Tulouna le pa'ia ma le mamalu o le asō, o le Mana Arts Collective lēnei, o le a pese. "With the greatest respect to ancestors past, artists present and future, behold, Mana Arts Collective are here to sing their song"

MA-NA (n.) The spiritual life force energy or power that permeates the universe.

He aha te mea nui o tēnei ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.
What is the greatest thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people

In a world and time where MANA is needed now more than ever, we must continue to uplift and share the MANA of our people, especially to those living in the diaspora and who are wanting to experience and learn about the cultures of the Pacific in an authentic and genuine way.

ARTS - The Pacific Island and indigenous people of the world have always expressed themselves and shared their culture through art, song and performing arts. We now have the opportunity to share this gift of art with each other and the world. 

COLLECTIVE - A group or organisation of people who share a similar interest.
As the moana (sea) connects all people of the world, Mana Arts Collective endeavours to connect all Tangata Moana (people of the pacific ocean) by providing a tūrangawaewae (platform) for artists and their artwork, celebrating what makes our people unique.

O lupe sa vao eseese, ae ua fuifui fa’atasi We are from different parts of the forest but are connected in one cause
