Samoa became the first Pacific Island nation to gain independence, inspiring a wave of countries to shed their colonial ties. While Western Samoa officially achieved self-government from New Zealand in January 1962, the country celebrates its Independence Day on June 1. To mark Samoa’s National Day, here’s a look back at life in the 1960s from the ABC archives.
