Growing up in Samoa in the 1920s
The Samoan Island is part of a large group of Small Island in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean. In the 1920s, according to research reports on. Children did not go to school. They learnt many things, such as how to take care of children or do household work from older children and from adults. Fishing was a very important activity on the island. As soon as babies could walk, their mothers or other adults no longer looked after them. Older children, often as young as five years old, took over this responsibility. Both boys and girls looked after their younger siblings. But, by the times a boy was about nine years old, he joined the older boys in learning outdoor jobs like fishing and planting coconuts. Girls had to continue looking after small children or do errands for adults till they were teenagers. After the age of fourteen or so, girls also went on fishing trips. Worked in the plantations, learnt how to weaves baskets. Cooking was done in special cooking- houses, where boys were supposed to do most of the work while girls helped with the preparations.
