Sāmoan Custom, Individual Rights, and the Three 2020 Acts
Three controversial bills were tabled in Sāmoa’s parliament in February 2020 and became law on 5 January 2021. The new legislation removed the Land and Titles Court from provisions in the Constitution of Sāmoa for protection of individual rights, on the grounds that constitutional provisions for individual rights were incompatible with Sāmoan collective rights. In this article we discuss the background to the controversial constitutional amendmen…

Forty-Five Years of Pacific Island Studies
Looking back on our own times, we have seen a rise and fall of interest in Pacific Island studies. Our careers, which have led us currently to the Centre for Samoa Studies at the National University of Samoa, retrospectively illustrate transformations in Pacific Studies over the past half century

In Samoa the selection of burial sites and the type of monuments chosen to mark them not only signify affection and memorialisation, but also make visible statements about traditional rank, and nowadays about family status and claims to property. We examine what is known about burial practices and locations in pre-colonial Samoa and trace the changes that have occurred as a result of 19th-century power struggles, political change, colonial influe…
"Introduction to "Grave Matters in Oceania
The idea for this collection of articles on burial practices in Pacific Island cultures first came to us in 2013 when we were invited to Sweden to give a lecture on 'an aspect of materiality in Samoa' to the Archaeology Department of the University of Gotland (now the Gotland Campus of Uppsala University). The invitation came from Helene Martinsson-Wallin, Associate Professor of Archaeology there, who had been working with the National University…

Telework
This paper reviews international trends and associated issues of telework (work that is performed remote from clients or employers assisted by electronic communication facilities). It examines whether telework in New Zealand is following reported trends and concludes that the forces driving telework in New Zealand are different from those elsewhere, for structural reasons which are described. The results of a small survey of New Zealand teleworke…
Rank, gender and politics in ancient Samoa
a new focus of rank came into being, and that through a series of female ances tral connexions of such crucial importance that the names of those ancestresses became paramount chiefly titles a young woman, Salamasina, was given highest office in the western islands of Samoa. The supreme titles which Salamasina held were passed on to her chiefly descendants primarily through the daughters of her illegitimate first-born daughter by a low ranking ma…
