The War Drums of a Makua: The Season of Battle

The Politics of Ea

October 13, 2025 • Fiatagata Fonotimoana Afualo Nofoatolu Tauali'i • Season 2 • Episode 5

In this episode, we braid ancestral rhythm with institutional power, exploring how government organizations—often dismissed as bureaucratic—can become vessels of sacred stewardship. DS unpacks the five rhythms that pulse through effective governance: Initiation, Containment, Transmission, Accountability, and Renewal. Each rhythm is mapped to ancestral practices and ecological truths, revealing how policy can become prayer, and how clauses can carry breath.

We journey through examples of government bodies that have either lost their rhythm or reclaimed it—tribal councils, land trusts, educational boards, and health systems. DS shares ceremonial frameworks for reactivating these entities, inviting listeners to see governance not as control, but as choreography.

This is not just an episode—it’s a call to re-imagine power as rhythm, and legacy as a living drumbeat.
