Tuala Tulo (died 4 October 1953) was a Western Samoan politician who served as a member of the Fono of Faipule, Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly between 1936 and 1953.
Tulo was a member of the anti-colonial Mau movement.[1] He was arrested and subsequently prosecuted for sedition in 1934, leading to a fine.[2]
When the Fono of Faipule was reconstituted in 1936, Tulo became a member of the legislature.[3] He was subsequently nominated by the Fono to become a member of the Legislative Council,[4] taking his seat on 16 December.[5] He was re-nominated following the 1938 elections.[6]
In 1948 he was selected as one of the eleven Samoans to join the new Legislative Assembly.[7] He retained his seat when the Samoan members were chosen as part of the 1951 election process.[8]
Tulo died at his home in Leauvaa in October 1953.[3]
