Download or read book Anoafale O Le Gagana Ma Le Aganuu written by Pemerika L. Tauiliili and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Language and culture can be easily forgotten especially in today's society where it is not spoken and practiced all the time. Compounding the problem is the lack of written litterature, competition with other languages, especially the English language, the advent of modern technological advances promoting other languages, and the migration of Samoans to foreign lands. In the "Anoafale" the author tries to script Samoan cultural practices and language used during cultural ceremonies. Much of this appropriate language is foreign to many Samoans, even adults. These practices and ceremonial words were observed and learned by the author during his life time. The Kava ceremony, the presentaion of foods and gifts, the duties of the talking chief to his high chief are some of the etiquettes that soon will be forgotten if not written, spoken and practiced.
