Euless Texas Trinity Haka and Polynesian Community want Euless to thrive

Euless Texas Trinity Haka

Euless Texas is a small city of 16.3 square miles, but in sports like American Football, they have taken on the entire State of Texas in "5A" top level (soon to be 6A) and won plenty of seasonal rounds. The Euless Trinity Football team has also been ranked a top team nationwide according to the magazine Sports Illustrated. Trinity High School has had Gatorade commercials made on their players, featured in other major sports articles besides Sports Illustrated, and mentioned in popular social media posts covering State Championships and the "Trinity High School Haka". 

A Samoan American community man said "I say it's all about supporting community and supporting those individuals who wish to see their regions thrive and hit next level stages. The City of Euless can do it, why not at least try to be the best. Without the efforts of the community the City might end up another truck driving stop on the way to Dallas and Fort Worth. Right now, this city's name is just as well known as the two major cities next to us, it's a proud feeling. The Coaches of Trinity high School are the real magic makers, good guys who believed in their students and weren't afraid to try new things"

There are at this time a good range of community movers in the Euless City region, from Tongan Football coaches and teachers, small business store owners, to Tongan Christian and Mormon church organizations, along with the well respected Euless Police officer Sam Katoa.

There's also individual community movers in other areas, a Tongan musical hip-hop artist named Venisi Cocomo Faletau, a Samoan Fine Artist, writer, editor,  and producer named Ione K. Birdman, an ex-MMA fighter (Tongan and Samoan), and now fitness coach Sunia Filikitonga.

One of the most respected Polynesian Community organizers and patrons, and founder of the the "Voice of Tonga" media company, and cable program, is Ilaiasi Tupou 'Ofa (a once resident of 20 years) who contributed greatly to Euless Tongan American community.

Polynesians in Texas celebrate their Haka: And give blessings to their Coaches

VOT Production was created by a Tongan Community Leader

Anyone heard of the Polynesians in Texas doing their Haka? Well they're representing Texas Trinity Trojan High School, a 5A Division 1 Football team, with good humor. The High School team "The Trojans", have from 2000 done a Haka or Sipi Tau before their games to collect their Pacific Mana, and to boost also the crowd's Mana.

The Trinity Trojans have in their past been given a spotlight in a Gatorade Athlete commercial, showing students training hard on the field toward Texas state victories. The Tongans, Samoans, and Maori get a card of credit for the Polynesian cultural practice in the games, but the Trojans win football "as a team", along with the guidance of some very admirable Football coaches.

The coaches have been given so much praise in their open minded methods and who continue to get sincere respects from local community leaders. The coaches again are admired as both teachers and role models, and known online as a very playful bunch of guys. Trinity Coach musical videos can be found on youtube where they lip sing to some old-school jams while they analyze Football winning tactics. Between 2000-2010, within one decade, the coaches led the teams to 3 victorious in 5A Division and a State Championship. It is predicted that soon the school will have to be upgraded to 6A Division 1.

Community leader "To win State Championships, and be at such ease is a real unique football story. Polynesians in Texas have made some great friends and family, and with work, that relationship can grow stronger. We must keep moving forward, while keeping our youth focused and away from things like Gangs and Drugs. So far, the combination of the communities make a competitive and overall positive environment. God bless us all so that we may succeed, and when we do fall, because we are not perfect, help us lord to find our way again."

◘ Health Interests

#1 tip Trust in Medical help has lowered since year 2000, especially when it comes to Cancer Treatments. Promises unkept for cures and breakthroughs in new research never applied, or with poor results, for over 40 years has raised skepticism. Following the most advanced tech nations instead of relying on easy access convenient hospitalization has been recommended for those looking for better medical help.

#1 tipA Community report says to "Beware of TAP WATER" [Tap Water can be Dangerous]. Outside the island, there are industrialized cities with real toxic issues. On the surface the City may have great rides, food, highways, and parks, but have under it all "toxic or environmental health issues" due to old Landfills and Water Infrastructure being ignored. If an area has a waste smell, the ground nearby could be a covered over Landfill where a town has expanded, buried the old one, and moved to a new location. Buying clean bottled water is an important choice, and will save a person's health.
◘ Community Interests

#1 tipPacific Islander American Community report on "Banking Overdraft Schemes" which resequence transactions on lower income accounts to make the accounts overdraft. In the Banking Scheme, transactions are being posted in an order that benefits the banking fees, and costing the customer possibly hundreds of dollars. The Banking Overdraft Schemes have been reported to still be attempted. Keep your money in a trusted Bank. Do not just sign up to any bank.

#1 tip Check out your local Library for community events. Also a Library can subscribe to Polynesian Newspapers and Magazines so that you and your kids can read them. Organizing a way to have books and media content (movies and news) able for your community to check out is important. Organize your local Library on how to get things started. Classes in public school are also being asked by local community for more Pacific languages and culture to be taught.
