Eckert Committee Members, Ted Goebel Frederic Pearl Head of Department, Donny L.

(May 2008) Christopher Thomas Crews, B.A., Colorado College Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Suzanne L. Eckert The purpose of this thesis is to present the morphological and chemical analyses of the lithic assemblage recovered from Aganoa Village (AS-22-43), Tutuila Island, American Samoa. Implications were found that include the fact that Aganoa Village did not act as a lithic workshop, new types of tools that can be included in the Samoan tool kit, a possible change in subsistence strategies through time at the site, and the fact that five distinct, separate quarries were utilized at different stages through the full temporal span of residential activities at the village.

  • Savai'i Volcano
    A Visitor’s Field Guide to Savai’i – Touring Savai’i with a Geologist A Visitor's Field Guide to Savai’i Touring Savai'i with a Geologist Warren Jopling Page 1 A Visitor’s Field Guide to Savai’i – Touring Savai’i with a Geologist ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND THIS ARTICLE Tuapou Warren Jopling is an Australian geologist who retired to Savai'i to grow coffee after a career in oil exploration in Australia, Canada, Brazil and Indonesia. Travels through Central America, the Andes and Iceland followed by 17 years in Indonesia gave him a good understanding of volcanology, a boon to later educational tourism when explaining Savai'i to overseas visitors and student groups. His 2014 report on Samoa's Geological History was published in booklet form by the Samoa Tourism Authority as a Visitor's Guide - a guide summarising the main geological events that built the islands but with little coverage of individual natural attractions. This present article is an abridgement of the 2014 report and focuses on Savai'i. It is in three sections; an explanation of plate movement and hotspot activity for visitors unfamiliar with plate tectonics; a brief summary of Savai'i's geological history then an island tour with some geologic input when describing the main sites. It is for nature lovers who would appreciate some background to sightseeing.

    The 1832 Journal From Rarotogna [Rarotonga] to the Navigator Islands [Samoa] Tognatabu [Tongatapu] etc - Containing an account of the language manners customs etc of the people- also much interesting Missionary information 1832 & 1833 Narrative of a Voyage performed in the Missionary Schooner Olive Branch by] Williams 1832 95 I832 Thurs II October. We took an affectionate leave of my dear wife & children with Mr & Mrs B[uzacott] who accompanied me down to the beach as did most of the inhabitants all uniting in wishing us well & praying that the blessing of God might attend us in our journey. The King Makea appeared in good spirits. His friends & people expressed considerable sorrow at his departure. The teacher Teava 1 & wife wept a good deal at leaving. It is a source of great consolation to know that we are followed by the affectionate sympathies of those who love us & the fervent prayers of all who are interested in our welfare. At Sundown we made all sail with a fine fair wind & set a direct course for Palmerstons Island. Sat 13. We made Palmerstons Island about 5 oclock in the afternoon. The wind being fair & night coming on determined to pursue our course rather than waste the night in lying to to procure a few cocoa nutts. The Teacher & his wife very sick. Sabbath 14. Wind still fair rather light. Service on deck. Spoke from 1st Epistle Peter Chapr I2 v. Let your conversation be good and honest among the Gentiles - Tahitian version. In the evening when conversing with one of our Native sailors I found that he was one of the crew of a Boat that drifted down to Tognatabu some years ago.

Over the past censuses, the Samoa Bureau of Statistics has compiled a standard analytical report that users and mainly students find it complex and too technical for their purposes. We have changed our approach in the 2016 census by compiling smaller reports (Census Brief reports) to be released on a quarterly basis with emphasis on different areas of Samoa’s development as well as demands from users. In doing that, we look forward to working more collaboratively with our stakeholders and technical partners in compiling relevant, focused and more user friendly statistical brief reports for planning, policy-making and program interventions. At the same time, the Bureau is giving the public the opportunity to select their own data of interest from the census database for printing rather than the Bureau printing numerous tabulations which mostly remain unused.

  • Assessment of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Samoa
    POPs Assessment for Samoa Executive Summary Samoa signed the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) in 2001 as part of its national and international commitment to the reduction and elimination of persistent organic and toxic substances. Since signing the Convention, Samoa has received an Enabling Activity Funding from the Global Environment Facility to facilitate the development of its National Implementation Plan (NIP) for POPs. Part of the activities for the development of the NIP includes conducting a National Assessment of POPs produced, imported, used and disposed in Samoa. Furthermore, the National Assessment is to identify the priority chemicals and set objectives for the development of the NIP. From the various studies undertaken on POPs in Samoa, it has been identified that eight of the 12 POPs chemicals identified in the Convention are either produced or imported into the country. Of the eight chemicals, three are pesticides (aldrin, dieldrin, and DDT) used as insecticides for taro and banana plantations and chlordane and heptachlor are used as termiticides in homes. One industrial chemical (PCB) was imported as part of electric transformers while two chemicals (dioxins and furans) are produced and released unintentionally from incomplete combustion. An additionally six POPs and persistent toxic substances (TBT, TPH/PAH, lindane, and CCA/PCP) are also present in Samoa. Of all the chemicals currently present in Samoa only dioxin and furans are still being released from unintentional production while the rest are either non-consented for import or alternatives have been found. All the pesticides and industrial chemicals are no longer imported, with the last known stockpiles disposed by the Agricultural Store in the mid 1990s.

    16 Notornis, 2005, Vol. 52: 16-20 0029-4470 © The Ornithological Society of New Zealand, Inc. 2005 The further spread of introduced birds in Samoa IAN A.W. McALLAN 46 Yeramba St, Turramurra, NSW 2074, Australia. [email protected] DION HOBCROFT 7 Henry St, Lewisham, NSW 2049, Australia. Abstract Five introduced bird species were observed in the wild in Samoa in November 2004. The red junglefowl (Gallus gallus) maintains wild populations in the mountainous areas; the rock dove (Columba livia) is presently confi ned to urban areas; and the red-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) and jungle myna (Acridotheres fuscus) have increased their ranges markedly over the past six years. The last two species, found in most inhabited areas, may be close to their maximum possible distribution in Samoa. The common myna (Acridotheres tristis) has also increased in range signifi cantly and efforts should be made to control this species. McAllan, I.A.W.; Hobcroft, D. 2005.

  • Salega District - Savaii
    Community Integrated Management Plan Salega District - Savaii Implementation Guidelines 2018 COMMUNITY INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES Foreword It is with great pleasure that I present the new Community Integrated Management (CIM) Plans, formerly known as Coastal Infrastructure Management (CIM) Plans. The revised CIM Plans recognizes the change in approach since the first set of fifteen CIM Plans were developed from 2002-2003 under the World Bank funded Infrastructure Asset Management Project (IAMP) , and from 2004-2007 for the remaining 26 districts, under the Samoa Infrastructure Asset Management (SIAM) Project. With a broader geographic scope well beyond the coastal environment, the revised CIM Plans now cover all areas from the ridge-to-reef, and includes the thematic areas of not only infrastructure, but also the environment and biological resources, as well as livelihood sources and governance. The CIM Strategy, from which the CIM Plans were derived from, was revised in August 2015 to reflect the new expanded approach and it emphasizes the whole of government approach for planning and implementation, taking into consideration an integrated ecosystem based adaptation approach and the ridge to reef concept. The timeframe for implementation and review has also expanded from five years to ten years as most of the solutions proposed in the CIM Plan may take several years to realize. The CIM Plans is envisaged as the blueprint for climate change interventions across all development sectors – reflecting the programmatic approach to climate resilience adaptation taken by the Government of Samoa. The proposed interventions outlined in the CIM Plans are also linked to the Strategy for the Development of Samoa 2016/17 – 2019/20 and the relevant ministry sector plans.

  • Samoa, 2017/2018
    DENGUE SEROTYPE 2 OUTBREAK IN SAMOA, 2017/2018. Ministry of Health SITREP nO.9 18th March 2018 Outbreak overview. The situational analysis of the dengue fever outbreak in Samoa as shown in the graph below portrays a continual decrease in the number of cases over the past 10 weeks. The cumulative total as of March 18th is 3,255 with a national attack rate of 16.6 per 1,000 population. Dengue fever continues to spread geographically mostly in the Apia Urban and North West Upolu regions. Majority of those af- fected are 5 - 9 year olds which makes up 31% of the total cases. There has not been any dengue related deaths reported hence the total dengue-related mortality remains at 5. Dengue case definition: An acute fever with any two of the following signs and symptoms: joint & muscle pains; maculo- pappular rash; severe headaches; nausea & vomiting; pains behind the eyes; bleeding and leucopenia. Time: dengue epi-curve Person: age group & sex Sex No of Cases % Female 1570 48% Male 1685 52% Total 3255 100% Control measures continues... SOURCE REDUCTION remains highly recommended for control of mosquito breeding sites during this rainy season. Other usual prevention methods to avoid illness is also advised. An integrated response has seen communities and organizations work with MOH to use chemical spraying in their respective locations. MOH Samoa continues to advocate and implement control measures for mosquito–borne diseases. Grassroots groups involved in vector control are mobilizing the affected communities to actively participate in source reduction and clean-up campaigns. Vector surveillance and control efforts continue.
