Modern Samoa is geopolitically divided into two parts the much larger, independent nation of Samoa formerly known as Western Samoa and the relatively small American Samoa, the only U. S. territory south of the equator. Even with different systems of government, the Polynesian people of both Samoas share a common language and culture, and the traditional hereditary chiefs still exert significant influence in the daily lives of the people. Location. Samoa is situated about 2,5. Hawaii and about 1,8. New Zealand. return to top Geography. Samoa consists of four main islands Upolu, with the capital at Apia the largest island of Savaii and two small islands between them Manono and Apolima. American Samoa lies 4. Upolu.

Significant populations of Samoans also live in New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, California, Utah and Missouri. History and Discovery. Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen happened upon the islands in 1. In 1. 76. 8, French Admiral Louis de Bougainville visited the islands. He was so impressed with the Samoans numerous canoes and their great skill in handling them that he gave Samoa its original European name, The Navigator Islands. Germany took possession of the western portion of the Samoan archipelago from 1. At the outbreak of World War I, New Zealand troops took possession of the island country. Following WWI the newly formed League of Nations gave New Zealand its Mandate to administer the islands, which resulted in close ties between the two countries that still exist to this day. The newly formed United Nations extended New Zealands mandate until January 1, 1. Western Samoa, or Samoa i Sisifo as the Samoans called it, became the first independent Polynesian nation. In 1. 99. 7 the island nation officially shortened its name to Samoa. Today, Samoa has a parliamentary style of government and an education system reflecting its former ties with New Zealand. In light of 1. 9th century European involvement in the Pacific, the traditional chiefs of eastern Samoa sold their islands to the United States in 1. The U. S. Navy administered the islands until after World War II, at which time the Department of the Interior took over. Today, American Samoans have a U. S. style of government and education, and send a non voting representative to the U. S. Congress. The people are U. S. Nationals who can freely travel into the United States. Languages. Samoan and English. Samoan is a major Polynesian dialect, and as such, is similar to Hawaiian, Tongan, Tahitian, Maori and other island languages. It is not necessarily mutually intelligible with the other dialects, although many words are identical or nearly identical, with identical or similar meanings. Reduplicated words such as Pago Pago, the capital of American Samoa are common in Polynesian languages but many people do not realize that the letter g in Samoan represents the unreleased ng sound as in the English word singer not the released G sound as in the word finger. Also interesting, the sounds represented by the letters k and t are completely interchangeable in vernacular Samoa with changing the meaning of the words. For example, theres no meaningful difference between talofa and kalofa, which both mean hello. Most Polynesian languages also use regular and longer sounding vowels, with the latter sometimes marked with a macron over the letter. Polynesian long vowels are not to be confused with English long and short vowels, as in the words hate and hat, respectively. While English vowels can actually be lengthened in pronunciation, that doesnt change the meaning of the word whereas in Samoan the use of a long vowel vs. For example, mama means ring, mam means clean and mm means lightweight please note were using a European style umlaut over the long vowels since most computers do not have fonts with macron capability. So, if you want to impress a Samoan, lengthen the first vowel in the word Smoa. Village Life. Samoan Tattoos. Tattoos, or pea, demonstrate the strong ties many Samoans feel for their culture. Samoans have practiced the art of tattooing both men and women for over 2,0. To this day, a mans tattoo extensively covers from mid back, down the sides and flanks, to the knees. A womans tattoo is not quite as extensive or heavy. The geometric patterns are based on ancient designs, and often denote rank and status. The vaa or canoe, for example, stretches across a mans mid back. Samoan oral tradition generally recognizes that two Fijian women, Taema and Tilafaiga, introduced the practice of tattooing. Before the arrival of Christian missionaries, starting in 1. Samoan males got a traditional tattoo. Though the early missionaries did not succeed in outlawing the practice, which they considered as defacement of the human body and heathenish, they eventually succeeded in refocusing the custom on the sons of chiefs. In Samoas cultural past most males were tattooed between the ages of 1. Today, there has been a strong revival of traditional tattooing in the past generation, not only in Samoa but throughout Polynesia, often as a symbol of cultural identity. The Samoan word for tattoo is tatau which means correct or workmanlike. It also signifies the correct quadrangular figures in reference to the fact that Samoan tattoo designs do not include circular lines, although other Polynesian tattoo motifs do. Early Englishmen mispronounced the word tatau and borrowed it into popular usage as tattoo. Traditional tattooing is a painful process. The Samoan tattoo master dips his cutting tools into black ink made from the soot of burnt candlenut shells, and then punctures designs into the skin. The cutting tool, or needle, consists of a short piece of bamboo or light wood with a piece of tortoiseshell bound at right angles at one end. A little bone comb is bound to the lower broad end of the tortoiseshell. The larger the comb, the greater the area on the skin is covered with fewer strokes. The master uses a small mallet to repeatedly tap a short handled instrument. The process takes days, and is sometimes partially accomplished over longer periods, with recuperation in between. Tattoo designs have changed to include freehand symbols such as the kava bowl representing hospitality the characterization of the Samoan house or fale signifying kinship emblems of nature shells, fish, birds, waves, centipedes and the traditional geometric lines and angles of different lengths and sizes.

Of course, in modern Samoa many homes are now constructed using western materials and designs but still, each village, indeed usually each extended family in Samoa, traditionally has a fale talimalo guest house andor a fale fono meeting house where the chiefs convene. Sometimes they are one and the same. The exact size and lavishness is determined by the power and position of the families and village.
