The Nu’uuli village heart — le a’ai — (towards Coconut Point) where families light up the front of their houses and along the road for the village Christmas light show that premiered on Friday night. Le a’ai is home to most of Nuuuli’s leading matai — with their fale tele located at historical sites in the ‘heart’ of the village. Villagers and the public crowded the area for a showcase of the event which included Samoan siva and fire knife dancing among other performances. [photo: Christina F Maele]
