The first of three series looks into Samoan traditional leadership, customary land tenure and religious rights.
A large number of respected speakers from New Zealand and abroad gave depth into each of the three key issues on the agenda.
The former Head of State, Le Afioga a le Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Ta'isi Efi, was the keynote speaker on traditional leadership in Samoa.
However, with the Customary Land Alienation Bill currently tabled in parliament, land rights was the hot topic of the conference, which Tupua touched on.
