I am thrill to welcome Professor Rick Feinberg to our house. His Polynesian name is Lihati. He is an anthropologist. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1974. Dr Feinberg was conducting research and work in the Polynesian Island of Anuta in the Solomon Island for almost ten years. He has also conducted research on other Polynesian outliers like Taumako in the Solomon Islands and on Nukumanu Atoll in Papua New Guinea. Dr Feinberg is currently a Professor of Anthropology for the Kent State University in Ohio, USA. In 2012 he travelled to Western Samoa, and that’s where I got up with him, then we both went to the Tokelau Island.
