Living on Tutuila Island
Church On The Shore
The first European Christian missionary, Englishman John Williams of the London Missionary Society (LMS), arrived in 1832. Williams and his followers had a profound impact on Samoans and their culture. The Samoans continue to be quite religious and enjoy the
activities provided by their churches.

Village Shopping
Most of the people live in villages, mostly on the southern side of the island.
|
There is a sense of two worlds—a quickly moving commercial mainland world
and a slower paced world of traditional village and family life—
that somehow occupy the same space and time.

KFC and Pizza Hut Have Presence Here Too.
