Summary
[edit]DescriptionSamoa 1931, Petition to HM the King (9539260933).jpg |
This is the 1931 Petition of the 'accredited representatives of the National Organisation of Western Samoa', also known as the Mau, to the governments of Britain, the United States, and Germany. The 40 page document addressed a large number of grievances experienced under the New Zealand administration that, two years earlier, had led to the violent confrontation known as 'Black Saturday' (see www.nzhistory.net.nz/politics/samoa). Signed by a number of key chiefs claiming to represent 95% of the population, the petition called for a restoration of autonomy and independence for Western Samoa; a release of all political prisoners; and free relations between Eastern and Western Samoa. Samoan independence from New Zealand was finally achieved in 1962. The full Petition can be viewed as a PDF here: www.archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=19162282 |
