Sentences with TAHITIANS (5)
Grant that the Tahitians, the Maoris, and the Paumotuans have become inured to the new conditions; and what are we to make of the Samoans, who have never suffered? Those who are acquainted only with a single group are apt to be ready with solutions.

Quotes with TAHITIANS (2)
For Tahitians there is nothing more desirable than love, being loved and making love. They are in love with the idea of love even more than they are with a real person.
