This book offers a complete history and culture of the Samoans and Manu'ans, chronicled in a new narrative, thus giving a new perspective on reality. It's an Orator Chief's treatise covering over 3000 years of history and culture, reimagined through the paradigm of data analytics methodology. Told by an expert in the oral mythology and written history of the Polynesian Archipelago, both English and Samoan, this historiographical account makes use of the physical sciences-archeology, geophysics, ethnology, and anthropology-as well as the social sciences-the psychology and the sociology of Samoa...
This book offers a complete history and culture of the Samoans and Manu'ans, chronicled in a new narrative, thus giving a new perspective on reality. It's an Orator Chief's treatise covering over 3000 years of history and culture, reimagined through the paradigm of data analytics methodology. Told by an expert in the oral mythology and written history of the Polynesian Archipelago, both English and Samoan, this historiographical account makes use of the physical sciences-archeology, geophysics, ethnology, and anthropology-as well as the social sciences-the psychology and the sociology of Samoan and Manu'an human psyche and cultural norms-to evidence the evolutionary development of the culture and the national brand identity.
Major changes in Samoan and Manu'an culture and history were caused by paradigm shift disruptions from the introduction of Christianity and colonialism by the Europeans-defining moments in the lives of the Samoans and Manu'ans. Exploring this, the Orator Chief author uses a linear timeline, covering periods of family genealogies and their respective generations, corroborated with the deep oral history and mythologies, to arrive at an ancient history, reimagined. The historical events and actors are memorialized locally in the oral history of thousands of years, supported by documented writings from the missionaries in the middle 1800s. All this is thoroughly chronicled in this treatise.
This history also draws from the web-network of Samoan and Manu'an family inter-marriages which corroborate the time-periods, generations, and ages. This is the first time the over 3000-year history has been expressed in time-periods with family ancestry and connections, corroborated by archeological evidence, cultural praxis, and oral and local legends. For example, the time-period of the existence and origin of Tagaloalagi, a deity (or god) of Manu'a and Samoa and later across all Polynesia, shows the transformation process from deity, to demigod, to warrior Chief, to Orator, to the birthing of a foundational family of Samoa and Manu'a, leading to the time-period of Tuimanu'a, TuiAtua, TuiA'ana, and later the founding of the Malietoa dynasty. Putting the history into time-periods affords a parallel aerial view of Samoan and Manu'an history as compared to the history of other world societies.
This account includes an analysis of the incredible transformation undertaken by the Samoans and Manu'ans to embrace Christianity, for they believed it was prophesied by the Warrior Chieftess demigod Nafanua, to await their impending kingdom from Heaven, so that, today, Samoa and Manu'a are 99.9% Christian. Their history, culture, and transformation all shed light on the modern world, as we face our global need for transformation and cultural understanding, in an age of rapid technological advances, climate change, and multinational business ventures affecting the whole of our world.
