Abstract

Kruse sets the stage by identifying the 1900 General Order by which the US Naval Department placed the Sāmoan Group under the control of the US Navy. The chapter addresses the Naval Administration’s introduction of American foreign property law concepts and values that apportion Sāmoan traditional lands thereby negatively impacting the fa’amātai and fa’asāmoa, twin keystones of the Sāmoan culture. Concentrating specifically on adverse land possession and individually owned land classifications that she asserts are incongruent with Sāmoan customary land tenure and culture. Kruse concludes these foreign property rights have split communal land holdings and the fa’asāmoa culture.

When dealing with fa’asāmoa, the main core values are taken from gagana Sāmoa as “O tūma ‘upu fa’aaloalo ‘ia tausisi I ai ia faia I aso ‘uma o le ōlaga o le Sāmoa,” translated in English as “Customs and ways of behaving as well as words of deference and respect which every Sāmoan must practise each day,” S.P. Ma’ilo, Palefuiono (Apia: Fanuatanu, 1972). For additional resources of fa’asāmoa, see Tupua Tamasese, “Fa’aSāmoa speaks to my heart and soul,” (Keynote address to the Pasifika Medical Association Conference, Auckland, New Zealand, 2000); Asiata S. Va’ai, Sāmoa Faamātai and the Rule of Law (Apia: National University of Sāmoa, 1999); Malama Meleisea, The Making of Modern Sāmoa: Traditional Authority and Colonial Administration in the History of Western Sāmoa (Suva: Institute of Pacific Studies, 1987); Felix Keesing, Modern Sāmoa: Its government and changing life (London: George Allen & Unwin, 1934).
