Villages were organised by high chiefs (matai) and this tradition is still present today.
In pre-European times, villages were typically organized around a central communal area, often featuring a marketplace or gathering place. Social structures were usually based on kinship and clan systems, with leadership roles often held by elders or chiefs. The economy was primarily agrarian, relying on farming, hunting, and gathering, which dictated the layout and spatial organization of homes and communal resources. Additionally, cultural and spiritual practices often influenced the arrangement of villages, reflecting the community's identity and beliefs.
Can you make sense? Samoa's a country, and the US got American Samoa from the country of [Actual] Samoa, maybe?Eastern Samoa and Western Samoa (as they were referred to in colonial times) were all one country to begin with. During the 1st world war, America occupied American Samoa and Germany occupied Western Samoa. So I suppose you're right 187baby, the US got (part) of Samoa from Samoa.
