Daily Activities

Some artisans may dry and paint the bark of the Mulberry tree. While tending plantations and gardens, Samoans clean brush, plant taro and bananas, tend mango, and papaya trees. Some villagers may climb coconut and breadfruit trees to gather food. You may have a chance to fish, Samoan style.

Samoans use poles and nets to fish, or walk along the reef to collect giant clams and spear octopus. At certain times of the year, villagers catch fish with palm leaves. These and other cultural experiences will be a memorable part of your visit in American Samoa.
