the locals were having a little joke with mead.she probably thought the locals were not very sophisticated.you don,t need modern conveience to be smart.we polynesians are born with a lot of insight.the locals knew what she was about but she never had a clue what they were really thinking,she prseumed to know.europeans have usually made this mistake with all peoples.

As far as i know, we shouldnt be fool'd & manipulated by the white mans tongue . . they (white man) kome to our island for a kouple of weeks & write dokumentaries & journals but really are justed making money off of us with their lies & twists. . we should really ask our parents & great grand parents koz really they are the heart of our motherland . . they'v had history passed down from generation to generation . . as far as i know its all real anyway !!

He recognized the inaccuracy of her work. He dissected it, analyzed it and what he came to conclude is closer to the truth than anything else I've read thus far. Call it a corrective diagnosis.

Now if you read Derek's book, you'll see just how extensive his research really was. He really got up close and personal with Samoa and her people. His was a frequent visit that lasted a lifetime. I mean he goes back, way back. Makes mention of John Williams from the London Missionary Society and all that shit. He's pretty deep.

You have to take into mind that she was 23 when she graduated. She chose Samoa as the first place to get her feet wet. What I mean by that is, in order for your work to be given credence, you have to gain experience in your field. You have to put in the time to really utilize what you've isolated and learned during you collegiate grooming.

'They read, they commented and they were involved.' I remember reading her book, 'Coming of age in Samoa.' Not long after that I read Derek Freeman's book. Basically it was a correction of an anthropological work. I, as a Samoan would have to say that he was more on point.
