About Umma Le Nofoa Fa'ata'oto I Fafo

Pe su'e se mea e fa'aopoopo i se teuteuga o le fale, pe na o se nofoa mo le avanoa i fafo, o le nofoa fa'auma Umma o se filifiliga e mafai ona suia ai le si'osi'omaga. O le Nofoa'au a Umma, e iai lona fausaga na gaosia i le alumini, o le 100 pasene o mea e mafai ona toe fa'aaogaina, ma le maea o le gataifale e fa'apipi'iina, ae o le ie fa'apipi'i e iai fo'i fa'alava ma ie fa'atekinisi, e fa'afeagai uma i le vai. O mea nei e fa'ataga ai le fa'aoga lelei o le nofoa fa'ata'oto a Umma i totonu po'o fafo ona e tetee atu i gaioiga a le tau. O le mamanu a Umma Armchair e iai le avanoa e foia ai le pa puipui o le taimi ma tumau ai mo le tele o tausaga.
