For the term, see Palagi.

The Papalagi (Der Papalagi) is a book by de [Erich Scheurmann] published in Germany in 1920, which contains descriptions of European life, supposedly as seen through the eyes of a Samoan chief named Tuiavii. It is now regarded as fictional; see Gunter Senft's Weird Papalagi and a fake Samoan chief — A footnote to the Noble Savage Myth.

It has been published in English by Legacy Editions in 1997, under the title Tuiavii's way (ISBN 978-0-9682469-0-0).
