Book Description
n Aotearoa, New Zealand, New Zealand-born Samoans have a unique hybrid identity defined by attributes and experiences from both New Zealand and Samoa. This thesis offers a critical exploration of hybrid cultural identity and explores themes around loss, adoption and cultural belonging. Within these complexities, this thesis critically examines issues around being a New Zealand born Samoan as a choreographer and dancer. It also looks at my personal movement vocabulary combined with Samoan movement traditions, hip-hop and contemporary movement - a hybrid dance language. This research discusses six Pasifika artists who generate art from dance, spoken word, photography and visual art, critically reflecting on cultural traditions and contemporary traditions. This thesis explores how their work has influenced this study and creative work. Vā and Talanoa methodologies are engaged throughout this research. Using a narrative method, these auto-ethnographic stories provide insight into issues of New Zealand Samoan identity. This thesis aims to provide an understanding and an interpretation of Samoan traditions within contemporary New Zealand culture.

Pages : 154
Book Description
Teine Samoa means Samoan girl. It's a label that carries with it an unspoken duty to obey, serve and respect your family and Samoan culture. But who can be teine Samoa? When should you be teine Samoa? And how can you be teine Samoa outside of Samoa? Lani is an afakasi, and is unsure of her Samoan heritage and what being Samoan even means. But one thing she knows for sure is that she's afraid of Vai and the 'Real Samoans'. Masina, the free-spirited daughter of a Church Minister, is bound by parental expectations and struggling to fulfill the destiny set by her parents. Teuila is the good Islander girl and proud teine Samoa who realises she doesn't want to be a 'switcher' anymore. How will these junior high school students learn to be, understand and fulfill their obligations as Teine Samoa, living in New Zealand? Teine Samoa is a journey of cultural identity and discovery for four junior high school students, their families, their teachers and, most importantly, anyone who has ever faced the challenges of being a teine Samoa.
