AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article deals with changes in Tongan culture resulting from westernization. The author concludes that Tongan culture is and probably will remain a 'hybrid' rather than becoming completely westernized. The article covers a wide range of culture traits with uniform superficiality.
