Augustin Kraemer

Kraemer wrote the Palau sections of Georg Thilenius five-volume ethnographic documentation of the Hamburg Südsee Expedition, which sailed through Micronesia to record the island peoples and their way of life during the early 1900s (Palau, Ergebnissse der Südsee-Expedition, herausgegeben von Dr G. Thilenius 1926, Hamburg).

Meine zweite Südseereise (1897–1899) zum Studium der Atolle und ihrer Bewohner published in Stuttgart by Strecker & Schröder, 1906.

However, linguistic analysis of his diaries indicates that he had extensive assistance of a Samoan chief, Tofā Sauni.

The depth of this involvement by Tofā Sauni in Krämer's study should have led to him being a co-author of the volume by modern ethical standard in ethnography.

In 1916, she published a book Bei kunstsinnigen kannibalen der Südsee, wanderungen auf Neu-Mecklenburg 1908-1909 (Among Art-Loving Cannibals of the South Seas).
