Safotulafai is a traditional village at the east end of Savai'i island with historical and political significance in Samoa's history.

Today, Safotulafai remains to be one of the traditional 'Pule' (customary authority) ruling districts of Savai'i.

Safotulafai is the village name with its sub-villages: Tuasivi, Fogapoa, Fatausi, Fuifatu, Fusi, and Eveeve.

[3] By the late 1920s, the Mau movement had gathered widespread national support under the New Zealand administration which followed from colonial rule by Germany.

Safotulafai has strong traditional connections with Saleaula on the central north coast, through the paramount chiefly title (matai) of Letufuga.
