It is known as the heart of Polynesia. If you drew a triangle from Hawaii, New Zealand and Tahiti you would find Samoa in the middle. Western Samoa is a neighboring independent country that shares the same culture. American Samoa became an unorganized U.S. territory in 1900. The Samoas arguably represent the largest population of polynesian people and they take pride in a strong culture that has survived outside incursions amazingly well.

Contact Us - Aug, 1997 Issue #47 Why Western Samoa for Adolescent Programs? By: Jodi Tuttle , Educational Consultant St. George, UT Taking students out of their environment and placing them in an unknown culture creates instant impact. Wilderness programs have been doing this successfully for several years. Anyone who has traveled in a foreign country realizes that it is necessary to refocus at least some attention to maintenance when experiencing a new culture. This environment in Western Samoa takes teens into a setting that is beautiful, tranquil, and conducive to change. The Samoan culture is well known for a strong family emphasis, respect for authority, and genuine care for others. John William Hart’s SAMOAN CULTURE gives us an idea of the diverse personality traits between people of the US and Western Samoa.

Introduction Late in 1968 I went to Western Samoa to spend a year there photographing the people and their culture and doing anthropological research. My main residence was with a Samoan family I had met several years before. When I say "family," I use the term to mean something more than a nuclear family and something considerably less than an aiga or extended family. In fact, there were usually about 25 people in this living unit. They stayed primarily in one house in Leone, a rural, village-like setting on the outskirts of Apia, Western Samoa's capital. During that year, I ventured out and stayed in a number of other areas as well, including the island of Manono and Fa'a'la Village in Paulauli (Savai'i) and both Fasito'otai and Falealili on Upolu. After that year, I returned on other occasions to spend three months in the same areas, as well as six or seven times more to spend anywhere from a few days to a week or two. Whenever I stayed in Samoa, I usually kept my camera with me. I never knew what I might see and what photographic opportunities might appear, so I tried to remain ready. The photographs in this collection are a few of several thousand that I took.

When I visited Western Samoa, the traditional tattooing of men was still common. This photo was taken at one of about half a dozen tattooings I attended that year. Since then, I've also attended tattooings in Auckland, New Zealand, and San Jose, California. The tattoo specialist, or tufuga, a highly respected specialist, dips a comb-like instrument with needle-like points into a dish of pigment made from ground-up, burned lama nut, places the comb on the area of skin to be tattooed, and strikes the comb with a stick, driving the needles through the skin. Here's a closer look at the tattoo pigment being applied to, and driven under, a young man's skin. Most of the design has already been completed. The process is performed without anesthesia and is said to be very painful. Sometimes a young man being tattooed finds it so painful that he'll climb a coconut tree in order to avoid any more sessions. A young man with a pe'a

14. SCDC:Culture:History Of Samoa Christian faith flourished and within a few years (western) influence had a strongimpact on samoa and brought fundamental change to the old culture. http://www.samoancenter.org/pages/cu_brief.html

Photo courtesy of Bob Baxter, Skin and Ink Magazine Based on archaeological, botanical and linguistic evidence, it is believed the first settlers in Samoa arrived around 3,500 years ago. These settlers probably came from Indo-Malaysia and continued to spread to other Polynesian islands including Hawaii, Tahiti and New Zealand. The first European to come in contact with Samoans was a Dutch Navigator name Jacob Roggeveen in 1722. However, little was known of Samoa until the London Missionary society arrived in 1830 on a ship called Messenger of Peace under John Williams. Christian faith flourished and within a few years Western influence had a strong impact on Samoa and brought fundamental change to the old culture. Toward the end of the 19th century, Britain, Germany and the United States were competing over Samoan territory. In the 1899 treaty, Samoa was divided between Germany and the United States.

Samoan Culture Location: The Samoan Islands are located in the South Pacific about 1,800 miles east of New Zealand and 2,400 miles southwest of Hawaii. The islands are split into two groups, east and west. The eastern islands are a United States territory, while the western islands are an independent country. History: Daily Life: Most Samoans live in small seaside villages. They reside in thatched roof huts with their extended family. A chief and several village elders head the village, but each family takes care of itself. The coconut is a main staple as well as bananas and the taro root. Fish and pork are also part of their diet. The people speak the Samoan language during everyday life, while English is reserved for business or formal affairs. Almost 100% of the Samoan people are Christian and it plays a big part in their life. They attend church on Sundays, and many have a prayer curfew at night for 10 or 20 minutes.
