| Research Abstract |
The production of fine mats which are used in Samoan ceremonial exchange was revived in 1990s. Between 1970 and 2000, rough 'fine mats' which were no more fine had been mostly produced in a week or a few days whereas authentic one took a woman for 6 months or one year. Samoan Government also started the fine mat policy in 2003 to evaluate women's role in the society and to give women a measure of income generation. Fine mats were now officially commodified. Nevertheless, the very fine mats produced under the government scheme are stored under beds and not generally used in ceremonial exchange. Instead, special large mats which are as rough as abandoned 'fine mats' in quality were mainly used in ceremonial exchange. In the transnational Samoan world, the ceremonial exchange is still functional in connecting Samoan people in different communities.
