Sina ma le tuna (Sina and the eel)

Sina ma le tuna (Sina and the eel) drawing by Jon Apisa.

The artwork was based on Sāmoan Mythology: Sina ma le tuna (Sina and the eel).

Tui Fiti (King of Fiji) turned into an eel to travel to Sāmoa to find Sina.

The eel traveled long journey across the ocean and from village to village which exhausted him.

His last wish to Sina was that she would plant him in the ground and this was the first coconut tree.
