Extractions: History The origins of Independent Samoa are shrouded in an ambiguity that is pure Samoa. The most popular theory is that Samoans, like other Polynesians, originated from the East Indies, the Malay Peninsula or the Philippines, but Samoans tell a different story. Other Polynesians, they say, might have come from Asia but Samoans come from Samoa. They believe themselves to be the cradle of Polynesian culture, a race of people created by the god Tagaloa while he was cooking up the world. In fact the Samoan legend of the beginning of the world is startlingly similar to that told in Genesis. Despite its reputation as an exotic far-away land Samoa was in fact as busy as a shopping mall from the mid-1770s when trading ships, sailing along the spice route and looking for the Great Southern Land, popped in and out with monotonous regularity. Much of the early contact and bloody encounters between Samoans and Europeans took place in the islands that are now part of American Samoa but the islands of Independent Samoa suffered the same diseases and acts of violence that came with the European ships. By the time the British arrived, looking for the troublesome Christian Fletcher and his band of merry mutineers, the Samoans were hardly in a welcoming mood. In the resulting head-to-head between the British and the Samoans, lives were lost on both sides and gave rise to the unwarranted reputation that Samoans were hostile and aggressive.

Extractions: History Labour 'recruiters' from Queensland and Fiji and missionaries arrived in the 1860s, doing what they did best. So successful were the 'blackbirders' from far-off plantations that Britain decided to annex the islands in order to halt the labour trade. In 1892 the islands became part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands protectorate, then, in 1916, a crown colony. During WW2 the US used Tuvalu's northernmost atoll, Nanumea, as a base to repell the Japanese who were threatening the Gilbert Islands. Wrecks of air and sea craft are still present on the island. From the 1960s through to 1977, Tuvaluans embarked on steady constitutional development. In 1974 the Ellice Islanders voted to separate from the Micronesian Gilbertese. They then reverted to their pre-colonial name of Tuvalu ('eight standing together') and attained independence on 1 October, 1978. In 1987 the Tuvalu Trust Fund was set up by Britain, New Zealand, Australia and Korea to provide development aid. Aid may be a thing of the past, however, if recent Tuvaluan history is anything to go by. Having made a significant proportion of its GDP through sales of highly sought-after postage stamps, Tuvalu now looks set to continue cashing in on communications. In August 1998, the Tuvalu government signed a deal with a Canadian company that could net them US$65 million annually. Even though the Internet won't be available in Tuvulu until 1999, their unique electronic domain suffix, '.tv', has attracted interest from television networks worldwide. If the rewards are anything near predictions, Tuvaluans will go from being one of the least developed nations in the world, to possibly the planet's wealthiest people on a per-capita basis. And all without the crowds of obnoxious tourists that most 'tropical paradises' rely on to make bucks.

Extractions: About us Send me a Brochure Tripbuilder (Shopping Cart) Send me a Quotation ... Pacific News Member of Tuvalu Culture Tuvaluan culture is steeped in the Polynesian tradition, brought to the islands by Tongans and Samoans in the 14th century AD. Although most Tuvaluans these days are Christian, their adherance to traditional life is still an important and visible ingredient in daily life. Perhaps due to a combination of the Polynesian tradition of respect for family, community and environment and the islands' isolation from the modern world, Tuvalu was named the only nation in the world above reproach for human rights violations by a panel of observers in June 1998. Given the missionary tradition in the Pacific over the last two hundred years, it is surprising that the locals have emerged socially unscathed, but - unlike neighbouring American Samoa and Tonga - Western culture has arrived but not dominated the islands of Tuvalu. Religion is a big part of Tuvaluan life and the Sunday service is the most important event in the week. Tuvalu has been described as 'very religious' by visitors, and strict Congregational Protestantism is evident in everything from church services to business dealings. As with other Christianised Pacific islands, this imported religion has been seamlessly interwoven into the complex code of traditional ethics and behaviour.

Pacific News Member of Culture Gallery Introduction ANGLONESIA Anglonesia is a neologism used here to refer to Australia New Zealand and the United States in the Pacific (ANZUS). The progress from colonialism to independence in the Pacific Islands region (both north and south of the equator) has not brought an end to the influence of the former colonial powers. Presently, there are ten territories or dependencies linked directly to an extraregional government, and five others are constrained in their foreign policies by the terms of their free associaton compacts. Like these territories, the independent states are also affected by the political, security and economic policies of the extraregional powers. There continues to be an overlap of interests between outsiders and islanders, which is likely to persist even as more island stated begin to exert their influence more and more within the region as well as globally.

http://www.pacificislandbooks.com/samoa.htm

Extractions: The Girl in the Moon Circle , like the cover drawing, shows Samoan life through the eyes of a ten-year-old girl called Samoana. Though young, Samoana is perceptive, not much escapes her analysis. She tells us about school, church, friends, family violence, having refrigerators and television for the first time, Chunky cat food, a Made-in-Taiwan Jesus, pay day, cricket, crushes on boys, incest, legends and many other things. Her observations offer a compelling look at Samoan society. Often fiction allows authors to tell truths that otherwise would be too painful; Sia Figiel is uninhibited. Her prose, in English and Samoan, hurtles readers toward the end of the book. Sia Figiel, herself, has mesmerized audiences around the Pacific Islands with readings from The Girl in the Moon Circle.

http://www.weirdrepublic.com/episode12.htm

Extractions: Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, some mischievous Polynesian girls played a joke on a gullible young utopian named Margaret Mead and the world was never the same again. Young Margaret was a student and disciple of the anthropologist Franz Boas. Though few people recognize his name today, the social influence that Franz Boas has exerted through the efforts of his renouned students is exceeded by only one other German Jew: Karl Marx. Like Marx, Boas was an extreme leftist utopian. His contribution to the science of anthropology was the doctrine of cultural relativism, which holds as axiomatic that no culture is any better than any other culture, but merely different. This doctrine is a great leveler, for its seemingly value-free approach to cultural studies has the effect of placing Western civilization on the same level with any clan of Brazilian headhunters. Boas was a foreign transplant. He arrived in America in 1886 already imbued with radical ideas, and like so many radical immigrants, hating America even before his feet left the gangplank. He became one of a rising generation of young scholars, many of them Jewish immigrants like himself, who were hostile to Americas Anglo-Saxon establishment and who were bent on subverting its values. Once he had established himself at Columbia University, Boas began his political campaign by nurturing a following of admiring students, many of them women, who would go on to become apostles of his new approach to social analysis which would do so much to subvert traditional social values and sexual morality.

Extractions: issue 222 - August 1991 Western Samoa enjoys a relaxed Polynesian lifestyle - albeit not exactly the free love nirvana portrayed by anthropologist Margaret Mead - which conceals its earlier fate as a victim of colonial chaos, extravagant even by exotic South Pacific standards. Predominantly Protestant missions were established in the last century, before traders arrived. Then the arrival of traders, chiefly British, German and American, in stem competition coincided with a recurrence of traditional tribal conflicts. The traders persuaded their respective consuls to side with different high chiefs, and in 1889 seven warships from three navies lay anchored in the harbour of the capital, Apia. Six were sunk or damaged in a cyclone, epitomising the apparently providential nature of the cause of a free Samoa. Finally, though, Germany annexed the west, the USA the east (still a US territory), and Britain sailed away - leaving the writer R. L. Stevenson, who had migrated there for his health and is buried on a hill overlooking Apia bay. New Zealand took Western Samoa at the outbreak of World War One. Samoan nationalism was most strongly manifested in the Mau movement in the 1920s, finally violently suppressed. The country became independent in January 1962, since when it has been ruled by its

He was affectionately known as 'Tusitala', the storyteller, and he is buried on the crest of Mt Vaea. His home and tomb within the Robert Louis Stevenson Memorial Reserve can still be seen today. MAJOR CENTRES Although Savaii is the largest island of the Samoan archipelago, the capital Apia is on the more populated island of Upolu, which is also the seat of government and centre of commerce. Savaii is considerably less developed than Upolu, dotted with secluded beaches and crowned in the centre by the 609ft Mt Matavanu, whose eruptions in 1905 caused the people to migrate to neighbouring Upolu.
