This Fa’alupega firstly recognized the authority and identity of principal districts of Samoa through their spokesmen – Tumua ma Pule,Itu’au ma Alataua, Aiga-i-le-Tai, ma le Va'a-o-Fonoti – and the highest titles which were bestowed by these groups. It concludes with the recognition of the great maximal descent groups of Samoa and their “sons” who had been chosen to hold the highest titles. The new Fa’alupega of German Samoa apparently required for Malietoa Tanunafili and Tupua Tamasese to be sworn on oath and to change this Samoa’s historical Fa’alupega to the new fa’alupega as follows: " Tulouna a lana Maiesitete le Kaisa o le tupu mamalu o lo tatou malo kasialika aoao . Tulouna a lana afioga le kovana kasialika o le sui o le kaisa I Samoa nei . Susu mai Malietoa, Afio mai Tupua Ua fa’amanatuiana ai aiga e lua I o oulua tofiga Kasialika o le Fautua . Tulouna a le vasega a Faipule Kasialika o e lagolago malosi I le Malo . Afifio mai le nofo a vasega o tofiga Kasialika o e usu fita I le tautua I le malo ".
