I'iga's Icecream


His life reads similar a Hollywood movie. Born inwards 1882 , I'iga Pisa was a feisty matai (chief) who rose inwards prominence to acquire Lauaki Namulau'ulu's correct manus man. The ii matai travelled to a greater extent than or less Samoa gathering back upward for their drive , together with Lauaki fifty-fifty sent I'iga to American Samoa to garner back upward for the Mau a Pule (Independence Movement). When the Mau leaders were banished to Saipan inwards 1909 , I'iga was amidst their number.


From in that place , I'iga's life takes on a Rambo-like plow because when Saipan vicious into Japanese hands , the Samoans hatched an escape plan. They carved out paopao (canoe) together with I'iga was chosen to paddle the 124 miles (200 km) from Saipan to Guam


The islands that I'iga navigated:
124 miles (200 km)


Along the agency , he was pursued yesteryear Japanese troops simply he hid inwards the Aguijan Islands until he could go along his journey. Then I'iga crashed into Rota Island , quite literally , together with suffered numerous injuries from his landing. He was nursed dorsum to wellness yesteryear the locals , who too hid him from the Japanese authorities , together with equally shortly equally he could , I'iga gear upward out 1 time to a greater extent than to consummate his mission. 


I'iga successfully reached Guam together with it is rumoured that a High German cartographer called the strait betwixt Rota together with Guam 'I'iga's Pass' or 'I'iga's Strait' because of the magnificent feat that our countryman achieved. But I haven't seen whatever show of this (yes , I tin read German). The entirely sign that our people were anywhere virtually Saipan is a couple called 'Samoa Bridge' which nevertheless exists today.


Back to I'iga - he reached Guam together with picked upward a chore working for the the U.S. of A. Navy. He brushed upward on his English linguistic communication (he had been learning High German piece inwards exile) together with eventually injure upward inwards Hawai'i. I'iga returned to Samoa to serve inwards several high-ranking regime positions , fifty-fifty contributing to the Constitutional Convention of 1954.


When the Samoan flag was raised on the start solar daytime of independence ,1 Jan , 1962 , I'iga Pisa was the entirely 1 of the exiled matai (chiefs) that attended , for he was the entirely 1 that had survived.


And what a survivor he was!


I can't imagine doing one-half of what this historical swell has done , together with entirely promise that 1 solar daytime mortal writes the screenplay for I'iga's Spielberg-worthy life.


To celebrate the colourful adventures of this Independence hero , I offering I'iga's Icecream.
