Download or read book S moan Odyssey written by Semisi Ma'ia'i and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The second half of the twentieth century saw many Pacific people leave their island homes in search of education and opportunity that were otherwise unavailable to them. This Pacific diaspora provided countries like Australia and New Zealand with new cultural experiences, new artists and professionals and new communities. Semisi Ma`ia`i left his Sāmoan home to pursue a career in medicine in New Zealand. His journey took him away from his homeland, but it returned him to his people. His medical practice drew Pacific people from many miles around. He was able to negotiate language and cultural difficulties for his patients, and developed resources to help with their sometimes difficult transition to a more Western-focused country. Eventually he wrote the first Sāmoan dictionary written by a Sāmoan, a forty-year labour of love. In 'Sāmoan Odyssey' Dr Ma`ia`i recounts his journey, the struggles and joys of being part of the diaspora, his family life and views on the world we live in now"--Jacket.

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.
