摘　　要：我在萨摩亚的一个风景如画的村庄里长大,村庄叫Leulumoega,意为“安息之所”。萨摩亚是南太平洋的一个偏远岛国,距离中国大陆约10399公里。历史上,我长大的村庄在古代是地区酋长聚集和颁布习惯法的地方,人们逐级形成了家庭、宗族、村庄和地区,最后出现了政府。即使在殖民统治时期,当地的文化传统也并没有随着时间推移而被摒弃。对萨摩亚人来说,保留至今的政府制度是传统的部落酋长制度与宪法议会制度结合的产物。I grew up in a picturesque village in Samoa called Leulumoega Tuai,literally translated as“the resting place”.Samoa is a remote island nation in the South Pacific,some 10,399 km from China's Mainland.Historically my village in ancient times was where district chiefs would gather and promulgate customary laws.People organized themselves into family units,clans,towns,districts,and finally,the government.Cultural traditions are difficult to discard over time,even during periods of colonial rule.For Samoans,the system of government which remains to this day is its traditional‘Matai’system or chieftain system mixed with a Constitutional Parliamentary system.For about three thousand years before the arrival of Europeans and the written script in 1830,chief conferences at designated‘capitals’in Samoa were highly ritualized affairs social organization orators and their families would make careful preparations to ensure that everyone’s views were heard,that the root and branch of society had a voice,and that leadership was secured and honored.
