Ua leai se manu e olo.
"Not a pigeon is cooing."
This alagaupu (proverb) comes from the words of Samoan bush hunters: entering the forest and hearing not even the coo of a single pigeon, they knew the bush held no sign of game — total stillness. Over time the saying came to describe something far more cherished: a family or village where perfect peace reigns, so calm that not a sound of trouble stirs.
