Same materials as anywhere else in the world. Samoan traditional homes in the olden days were made of native wood, cane leaves for thatching, sennit/sinnet to tie/bind things together, rather than nails. Samoans still use the same, but with imports and time factor involved in building, a lot of families opt to use imported material. A lot of Samoan families also are now building European homes with all mod cons included, but still have traditional homes as well.
