Napoleon Andrew Tuiteleleapaga - Samoa: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Napoleon wrote a book on the Samoan culture and all the aspects of the island lifestyle.

His work was discussed in the book Samoa: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow published in 1980 with an introduction by the renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead .

"The book deals with the history of Samoa as remembered and recorded, with old customes and with hew, seen though the eyes of a leaned contemporary Samoan. It is the first book of its kind written by a full-blooded Samoan, who was born, raised, and educated in the islands. Most books about a people who once depended upon oral tradition and their own distinctive religious system, and later become part of the literate Cristian world, distinguish sharply between the two." -Margaret Mead
