Social Organization

The social organizations of many of the island groups have been described as part of the studies on the ethnology. For some groups such as the Tuamotus and Cook Islands, the material contained in field notebooks has not yet been assembled. For Samoa, the social organization of Manua in American Samoa has been done but Western Samoa, though dealt with by Krämer in German, needs investigation in English. Though much has been written about Hawaii and New Zealand, monographs on the social organization of the two areas would be useful in bringing scattered material together.

Studies on social organization would be useful for Hawaii, the Tuamotus, Cook Islands, New Zealand, and Western Samoa.
