It's all right? Tell me, please.

Classification can be a real problem. Often the classification has been made long after the clubs were made for war, usually hindered by the fact that compilers are not of the same cultural origin . Also the same club forms would have been used on many Islands other than the Samoan Islands. This page from "Samoan Arts & Artists, Hawaii university press " is helpful but it is only a scratch on the surface. Other members may have more information. I will look in other books.

Thank you. I'm waiting for the opinion of others.

And another question: all of the above weapons also applies to American Samoa, or not?
And someone has information about their armor?
