E fa'apupuati le gase.
"Like a ti plantation that never dies."

This alagaupu (Samoan proverb) comes from the ti plant (cordyline) — a resilient plant known throughout Samoa. When a ti plantation is abandoned, the plants aren't choked out by weeds; they simply grow back the moment the weeds are cleared. Spoken as upu vivi'i (words of praise), it's used to describe how traditions, family trees, and the stories of the ancestors are never truly lost — they endure among the people, ready to rise again whenever they're remembered and tended.
