Description
Photograph of more than 100 native Samoans sitting on the ground in their village during a feast of roast pigs in Samoa, ca.1900. Most of the villagers wear cloth wrapped around their waists. Dozens of roast pigs lay in a long row at center and at left. About five thatched huts can be seen behind the group. The jungle presses in behind the village.
