Coming of Age in Samoa

Summary:
As Samoan youths come of age, the boys are inducted into a group of their peers in which they do the hardest work in the village and learn the proper execution of customs and rituals. Girls, on the other hand, join a disorganized group (if their villiage even still follows the custom) where they do little work and typically complete chores and favors for the older women of the villiage.
