Samoan Kava Custom is a book written by William Churchill in 1916. It is a detailed account of the traditional Samoan ceremony of drinking kava, a beverage made from the roots of the kava plant. The book provides an in-depth look at the customs, rituals, and beliefs surrounding the kava ceremony, including the preparation and presentation of the drink, the roles of the participants, and the significance of the ceremony in Samoan culture. Churchill also explores the history of kava in Samoa, its medicinal properties, and the social and political implications of the ceremony. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Samoan culture, anthropology, and the history of the Pacific Islands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
