King Charles Sips Kava, Becomes Samoan “High Chief”

Apia, Samoa:

King Charles III participated in a traditional kava-drinking ceremony in Samoa, where he was honored as a “high chief” by the local community. The British monarch’s visit to Australia and Samoa marks his first major foreign trip following a cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

Donning a white safari-style suit, the 75-year-old king sat at the head of a timber longhouse and was served a ceremonial kava brew in a polished half-coconut. The narcotic kava drink, known locally as “ava”, holds significant cultural value in the Pacific region.

During the ceremony, the kava roots were meticulously prepared by the chief’s daughter and presented to King Charles after a traditional filtering process. The king then blessed the drink before consuming it, accompanied by Queen Camilla.

The royal couple visited the village of Moata’a, where Charles was bestowed the title of “Tui Taumeasina” or high chief. The locals expressed excitement and gratitude for the king’s visit, emphasizing the importance of addressing climate change issues that affect their community.

As part of his visit to Samoa, King Charles will also attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting and deliver a speech at a leaders’ banquet.

The meeting will focus on various global issues, including reparations for slavery and colonialism, with a particular emphasis on climate change. Pacific leaders are advocating for stronger measures to reduce emissions and protect vulnerable regions from environmental threats.

Australia, Britain, and Canada are urged to take more significant actions to lower emissions, as Pacific island nations face increasing challenges posed by climate change.

Vanuatu’s special envoy for climate change emphasized the need for collective efforts to combat climate change and protect the Pacific’s natural resources. Australia’s foreign minister acknowledged the country’s responsibility in addressing climate issues and committed to working towards cleaner practices.
