Original Texts

Girls in school uniforms walk along the street. Schooling is compulsory, secular, and free for all children ages 5 to 14. In the past, villages were endogamous, somewhat matrifocal units. The mixing of youth from all villages at the high school has caused the breakdown of this tradition, and that of the Motu-Tafiti rivalry.
People live in extended family groups called magafaoa , which oversee land ownership and use. Villages are composed of related magafaoa. Households within a magafaoa occupy clusters of nearby dwellings. The head of a household is usually a married man ( patu ) who represents his domestic unit in church and village politics.

学生服を着た若い女性が通りを歩いている。学校教育は俗世間的な義務であり、5～14歳の子供たちはでいるが自由だ。昔の村々は族内婚を習慣とした幾らか母親中心の集まりでした。全ての村の若者が高校に集められることで、過去の習慣が廃れ、Motu-Tafitiのような競争が生まれました。傍系として暮らす人々の集団をmagafaoaと呼び、その集団は土地の所有権や土地の使用を監督しています。村々はmagafaoaに関連した形で構成されています。magafaoaが占有する集落の近所に住居があります。その世帯主は通常であれば教会や村の政治に携わる家族の代表の男性 ( patu ) と結婚します。
