Iatmul: Personality Formation II Return to: "To the Field and Back" Samoa: The Adolescent Girl I n 1925, Margaret Mead journeyed to the South Pacific territory of American Samoa. She sought to discover whether adolescence was a universally traumatic and stressful time due to biological factors or whether the experience of adolescence depended on one's cultural upbringing. After spending about nine months observing and interviewing Samoans, as well as administering psychological tests, Mead concluded that adolescence was not a stressful time for girls in Samoa because Samoan cultural patterns were very different from those in the United States. Her findings were published in Coming of Age in Samoa (1928), a vivid, descriptive account of Samoan adolescent life that became tremendously popular. It was published in more than a dozen editions in a variety of languages and made Mead famous. One of the reasons for the popularity of the book was that Mead had revised the introduction and conclusion of her original manuscript, adding two chapters that dealt directly with the implications of her findings for child rearing in the United States.

VOICES OF THE SAMOAN COMMUNITY INTRODUCTION Demographic changes in the Seattle area are having a profound impact on the local health care delivery system. Health care providers need to hear from ethnic communities about their experience in trying to access health care. Offering culturally appropriate care requires being open to the perceptions, realities and expectations of a community that may be different from one's own. The Cross-Cultural Health Care Program (CCHCP) in Seattle, WA works with health care providers, interpreters and community-based organizations to address these needs. Established in 1992, the CCHCP is funded by a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. This "Voices of the Communities" profile is one of a series developed by the CCHCP. The profiles and an earlier survey of 22 underserved ethnic communities are part of the CCHCP's effort to provide a forum for underserved communities to interact with the health care community. These profiles were developed by and in consultation with members of the profiled community. SAMOAN DEMOGRAPHIC AND CULTURAL BACKGROUND Location and nations Samoa refers to a group of islands in the South Pacific. Western Samoa is an independent country; American Samoa is a U.S. Territory. Although there is no difference in culture between the two, there is a difference in immigration status in the United States. People from Western Samoa have to apply to become permanent U.S. residents; American Samoan people do not.

86. Laboratory For Human Biology Research Adolescents living in more (western)ized areas of samoa, as well as culture changeand stress in (western) samoan youth Methodological issues in the http://www.cas.northwestern.edu/anthropology/LHBR/Samoa.html

Culture change, stress, and immune function in Samoan youth Samoans are currently experiencing an unprecedented period of cultural diversification: non-traditional legal, political, and economic institutions continue to encroach, and western consumer goods and lifestyles are increasingly available and desired. A recent epidemic of adolescent suicide suggests that these transitions may be problematic, particularly for the youth of Samoa. The objectives of this research are threefold: 1) To introduce a cross-cultural and developmental perspect- ive to the large body of western-based research in stress and immune function; 2) To evaluate new methodological tools for assessing immune function in field settings; and 3) To develop models of culture change and stress specifically relevant to the experiences of youth. A blood spot measure of EBV antibody level was developed as an immunological measure of chronic stress, and assayed in over 800 samples from 5-20 year-olds living in a range of urban and rural Samoan villages. C-reactive protein levels were also assayed to control for pathogen burden. Adolescents living in more westernized areas of Samoa, as well as adolescents from households with high levels of incongruity in aspects of social status, have elevated EBV antibodies, indicating lower immunocompetence and a higher burden of psycho- social stress. This work has been significant in introducing new methodological tools for assessing stress, and in evaluating new models of culture change specifically relevant to the experiences of youth.

Pacific News member of Culture Gallery Introduction ANGLONESIA Anglonesia is a neologism used here to refer to Australia New Zealand and the United States in the Pacific (ANZUS). The progress from colonialism to independence in the Pacific Islands region (both north and south of the equator) has not brought an end to the influence of the former colonial powers. Presently, there are ten territories or dependencies linked directly to an extraregional government, and five others are constrained in their foreign policies by the terms of their free associaton compacts. Like these territories, the independent states are also affected by the political, security and economic policies of the extraregional powers. There continues to be an overlap of interests between outsiders and islanders, which is likely to persist even as more island stated begin to exert their influence more and more within the region as well as globally.

Figiel points out that when Samoan composers need to write a long song for a special event, they string together many different kinds of songs to make one long, long song. In her original works, Girl in the Moon Circle and Where They Once Belonged , Figiel threads together Samoan and English and prose, poetry, songs, and even mythology to capture the voices of adolescent girls growing up in a traditional Samoan village. Across the Pacific Moana, in the borderlands of the United States and Mexico, Mexican-American writer Gloria Anzaldua uses a similar form. In Borderlands Mua! Mua ia! Mua o! Born in American Samoa and grown up in Samoa and Seattle, Jacinta Galea'i has recently completed her Ph.D. in English at the University of Hawai'i - Manoa, in which she wrote a Samoan novel that explores a wide array of themes and voices using a myriad of styles yet all "centered on being Samoan." Jacinta uses a traditional form of storytelling called su'ifefiloi — mixing of English and Samoan and prose and poetry to explore voices and experiences specific to being American and Samoan.
