Summary: |
"...Looks back at the century of American involvement in these islands. Dozens of Samoan cultural artifacts have been placed upon the pages, illustrating particular aspects of traditional Samoan life. Many of these artifacts have never before been exhibited; none of them has been presented before in color tableaux that gave such rich insight into the material wealth and culture of American Samoa. With the aid of over 200 archival photographs, color plates, artworks and historical documents obtained from the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and Jean P. Haydon Museum, the Centennial Edition looks at various historical events in the lives of American Samoans as well as those who came to live in their islands. These articles illustrate perhaps more eloquently than words the persistence of the Samoan material culture and way of life at a notable period in the history of the United States."
