Village Life in the Pacific Islands

My parents relocated us to Samoas the best move ever. NZ was not to be. I learned the language and took off from there.

I live in American Samoa. I lived and went to middle/high school in Samoa. I would work for my tuition during holidays. I lived with cousins in my parents villages. I learned respect for my elders, I knew how to weed, manage my chores, and to stay quiet until spoken to. I learned how to sit with legs folded quietly. That is the main core of Samoan culture. Learning how to manage subsistence crops, doing chores and respecting others.
