Queen Salamasina

Queen Salamasina

Queen Salamasina was the first sovereign ruler of Samoa; she was the daughter of Tu'i Tonga Fefine Vaeitoefaga and Tamalelagi. Through her mother she's the granddaughter from Tu'i Tonga of Tonga and through her father she's the descended from the High Chiefs of Samoa and Fiji. She was the first female to attain all of the four paramount royal titles and become the tafaifa or supreme monarch of Samoa. She reigned for nearly 10 decades of peace after many civil wars within Samoa. Not much is known about her, but the recently deceased ruler of Samoa, His Royal Highness Malietoa Tanumafili II, is a direct descendant of this legendary queen.
