Honoring the Legacy of
Savea Papalii Sione Brown

Over a decade ago, the late Savea Papalii Sione Brown founded NOSLVO with a vision to uplift and preserve the rich traditions of Samoan culture. More than a revered High Chief, he was a true cultural guru whose powerful oratory and wisdom captivated hearts and minds.

As a member of parliament and a devoted advocate for his people, Savea Papalii Sione Brown dedicated his life to service, always engaging with others on equal ground- never above, never below. His deep respect for others, coupled with his unwavering commitment to his community, earned him admiration and love from all who knew him.

Though he is no longer with us, his spirit, leadership, and legacy live on through the revival of NOSLVO, where we continue his mission of cultural preservation, unity, and empowerment. His influence remains a guiding light, reminding us of the strength found in heritage and the power of true leadership.
