CHAPTER V

+Neighbourhood Maps+

Pages 60 to 65.

For the sake of convenience the households were numbered in sequence

from one end of each village to the other. The houses did not stretch

in a straight line along the beach, but were located so unevenly that

occasionally one house was directly behind another. A schematic linear

representation will, however, be sufficient to show the effect of

location in the formation of neighbourhood groups.

VILLAGE I

_Lumā_

(The name of the girl will be placed under the number of the household.

Adolescent girls’ names in capitals, girls’ just reaching puberty in

lower case and the pre-adolescent children in italics.)

VILLAGE II

_Siufaga_

(Household 38 in Siufaga is adjacent to household 1 in Lumā. The two

villages are geographically continuous but socially they are separate

units.)

differences, see Chap. XI, “The Girl in Conflict.”

VILLAGE III

_Faleasao_

(Faleasao was separated from Lumā by a high cliff which jutted out into

the sea and made it necessary to take an inland trail to get from one

seaside village to the other. This was about a twenty-minute walk from

Taū. Faleasao children were looked upon with much greater hostility

and suspicion than that which the children of Lumā and Siufaga showed

to each other. The pre-adolescent children from this village are not

discussed by name and will be indicated by an _x_.)
