      Kivi n. I am sorry but you are very incorrect in that aspect. I am samoan, Maori, cook island Maori and I can assure you our Polynesian cultures revolve around our beliefs in God, Jesus christ. Our faith in Jesus as Polynesian communities is a major reason we are always together, happy and bonding. Almost every aspect of Polynesian living revolves around going to church, serving the lord, all of these actions which are carried out in our Polynesian families and communities. Therefore you cannot say a persons beliefs in a higher power is what causes their withdrawal and separation from communicating with others. Have a great day🙂

    It’s in front of everybody face but nobody see it. It’s American Samoa not cus it’s in the Americas cus it’s not. Samoa is in the South Pacific. American Samoa is a US Commonwealth and Samoans are US nationals unless born in Western Samoa which is an independent country. He said “they feel like they are a part of America right now.” They have been since 1898.
