Samoan Family Life, Culture and Homes

Transcript:
In other areas of the jungle, the giant Aua tree
raises its head above the neighboring growth.
It grows and extends its territory by dropping
aerial roots from above.
The Aua might well be a metaphor for the Samoan family
which is usually a large extended family with many roots.
Most villages are home to 2 or 3 hundred people who may
actually belong to no more than a few families.
In such a small community there is little room for disharmony.
Individuality and private ownership are scorned.
Sharing is the principal here -- work, duties, possessions --
even children are shared.
The Samoan system, with its Matai's, or chiefs handling
the distribution of goods, has served the people well
and continues to do so even in the modern world.
This lack of the notion of private ownership leads to a community
with little personal privacy.
These open-walled, oblong structures are
typical of Samoan homes and community buildings,
and are perfectly suited to the climate of the tropics.
Houses or fales are often built on the stone bases
of ancestors' homes.
Shades, made of plaited palm frond,
are let down only when the wind or rain blow too hard.
Larger and more open,
the community fale is the center of every village.
Both men and women have their own fales.
Here decisions about the community are made
and social activities find a place as well.

LEARN to COUNT 1-10 in SAMOAN
Learning a new language can be hard, sometimes it even seems impossible. So, we're breaking it down and together, we can learn Samoan bit by bit.
Today, we're starting with the numbers 1-10 and to help us learn them, we're using word association. Our kids came up with ten ways to help us remember the Samoan words (they're way ahead of us when it comes to learning Samoan), so we'll not only learn the words, but be able to remember them forever.
These fun word associations worked for us, but they might not work for everyone. Let us know if you come up with different ones or if you have a different way of learning a new language. Then, watch for more SAMOAN LANGUAGE videos to come.
