Abstract
In navigating life in the diaspora, young Samoan women in Aotearoa face unique challenges to their wellbeing. This research explores how a blend of tradition and modernity influences the lived experiences of these women. Through an autoethnographic approach, this study analyzes the significance of three core Samoan cultural principles—Sa (Sacred), Moa (Centre), and Va Tapuia (Sacred Relationships)—as living frameworks that promote identity, resilience, and holistic wellbeing.
