Abstract: How can a people adapt to strong externally imposed pressures for political-cultural change? That is the central question of this research. Answering it requires examination of the interplay of the traditional culture and the political, economic, social, and educational forces for change. The focus of research is on those people inhabiting a number of widely dispersed groups of Pacific Islands, all incorporated as a single territory under a trusteeship arrangement.
