 note = {In the general Polynesian political system chiefly titles are
organized on a genealogical principle. All the titles in a polity are
traced to the eldest line through kinship link and are ranked according
to their genealogical distance to it; thus they are integrated
into a pyramidal structure of political authority. But, although the
Samoan political system is based on the chief system as are other
Polynesian societies, its titles are not organized on the same principle.
Rather, chiefly titles are integrated on territorial bases, in which
each title is somehow related to others. In this regard the Samoan
chief system is unique among Polynesian societies.
Territorial organization has been highly developed in Samoa,
each territorial group having kept relative independence of its own.
This paper examines, in detail a particular territorial group of a
small district, Faleata, located on the north coast of Upolu Island,
Western Samoa, in order to analyse the manner in which chiefly titles
are organized in the Samoan chief system. First, the fa' alupega, or
formal address, of Faleata is examined. Then the fono, or meeting of
chiefly council of Faleata, in which decisions for the territorial group
are made, is checked with respect to its seating arrangement of title
holders, to its order of kava cup presentation, to its order of giving
formal speeches, and finally to its information network. Then
important titles are examined in regard to their genealogies, historical
relationships, geographical locations and legitimacy for their
representability.
Detailed analysis of the complicated territorial organization of
Faleata shows that, in Samoa, there is nothing like the single overarching
principle observed in Tonga in integrating chiefly titles.
Instead, inconsistent are the historical explanations which relate
titles in order to make territorial integrations. Therefore, Samoan
title system is more fragile and must be reaffirmed periodically
on various occasions. Lack of centralization is the main feature of
the Samoan political system. Dual opposition and interchangeable
representation in the system are also discussed.},
