- This video, fa’aSamoa is a palagi’s attempt to share “The Samoan Way.” Terry and I got to spend a year on island in 1999-2000. This video is dedicated to the incredibly gracious and generous people of American Samoa. I owe much thanks to Eileen Shinner George, Lynn Marshall Ashley, and Jim Civale for correcting spellings, and things I just misunderstood about Samoa. Terry Lynn and I love the place and the people, but there is so much we still don’t understand. The music is by Upu Moni.
- The Hampshire Review let me submit a weekly article while we were teaching on island. Teaching Abroad in Samoa, 1999-2000
- AmSamFam Youtube channel. Great resource for anyone thinking about visiting/moving to the island.
- Here are miscellaneous Samoan Sites if you want more information about this wonderful island.
- Here are images from our year on Tutuila, 1999-2000. Click to enlarge the photo. You can then start a slideshow. Why don’t you click this Te Vaka song link.
- George Hastings was on Tutuila in the 60’s. He has some great related blogs:
