Gayly Decorated Graves
The American Samoans leave no doubt that they care for their ancestors.

House With Grave In Yard
It Samoan custom that if they can do so, they have their ancestors graves in their front yards!
The more important the ancestor, the fancier his grave. They frequently have a roof of some description
over the grave to protect it from the weather.
