There is no West Samoa. Just Samoa. It 'used' to be called "Western" Samoa until the early 90's when the government decided that the "colonial-given" name Western Samoa no longer had a place in the democratic and independant country.

What are three types of sports or recreation enjoyed by the Samoans?
it all depends. Being Samoan myself its usually because at a young age sports were one of the only things that elders knew to get into college. But overall Some Samoans are forced to play sports.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that Samoans are "forced" to play sport. Samoans are like any other nationality with people who are naturally gifted at sport, and people who are not. Yes there are large numbers of Samoan athletes in professional sports, but that does not mean that there are NOT a large number who are academics. Saying that sports is the only way to get into college is abit of a presumption seeing Samoans do not only live in the U.S...AND there are HUGE numbers of Samoans who are in college/university simply on their own educational merit.
in Samoa they cook their food under grond and they celebrate special days

What is the main source of income in Samoa?
According to the CIA World Factbook: Substantial income is received annually from the Tuvalu Trust Fund (TTF) an international trust fund established in 1987 by Australia, NZ, and the UK and supported also by Japan and South Korea. Thanks to wise investments and conservative withdrawals, this fund grew from an initial $17 million to an estimated value of $77 million in 2006. The US Government is also a major revenue source for Tuvalu because of payments from a 1988 treaty on fisheries.

How do you say Rest in peace in Samoan?
Ia Manuia Lou Malaga
The literal translation of "Rest in peace" is "Malolo (Rest) i le filemu" or "Mapu (Rest) i le filemu" or "Moe (sleep/rest) i le filemu". These are lovely phrases. "Manuia lau (not lou) malaga" translates to "You have a blessed trip", or translating the idea/meaning, instead of "blessed", use "safe".
It gets a bit tricky so I'll try my best...Brother in Samoan is "uso"..but that's only if you're a male referring to his brother. A female would refer to her brother by calling him her "tuagane". A female would refer to her sister by calling her her "uso". Hope that helps.

Can anyone translate this phrase from Samoan. manuia fa'afa tai lava?
I'm wondering if what you are trying to say is, "Ia alofa aku fo'i isi o'u uso (rather than US) ma kmaiki ia ma oe le faletua". If this is so, then it translates thus: "Love too to my brother (assuming it's a guy who's talking) and children and you the wife".
