Abstract: Abstract Located 2575 kilometres north-east of New Zealand, Western Samoa consists of some 20 islands covering a land area of 2935 square kilometres. The two main islands, Savai’i and Upolu, account for most of the land area as well as the country’s 160,000 population, of whom approximately 89 per cent are full Samoan, 10 per cent of mixed-race Samoan, and 1 per cent European and other races. In addition to its domestic population, Western Samoa has experienced extensive emigration, and some 40,000 Samoans now live in New Zealand, and there are many thousands within the United States.
