TBT: 7 years ago, I wrote a grant to refresh my skills in field research. Mike, Matthew, and I spent three weeks in American Samoa. The first two weeks we spent living in these fales (Fa-lays) on Alega (pronounced A-leng-a) Bay, on the island of Tutuila (Too-too-we-la). We were hosted by the chief of the tribe/family that owned the bay and the land off the bay, all the way up to the top of the mountain. One of the greatest experiences of my life.
