Samoan books are very difficult to find, and there is a great need for them in our schools. Freddie Letuli originated the Samoan Fire Knife Dance at an event in Golden Gate Park in 1947. He served as an ambassador for Samoan culture as he performed all over the world. This gorgeous book provides a fascinating view of the history of this dance and showcases some of the moves that are used. The book also provides an interesting view of the author's movie career as well. This book usually circulates non-stop.
