Extractions: click to enlarge Fine mats made from woven pandanus leaves have been used for centuries and they still hold a very special place in fa'a Samoa, the Samoan way of life. Lea'ala Elisara Pili, executive director of American Samoa Arts Council: "Our fine mats in the fa'a Samoan culture is one of the most valuable things in our culture. So once you present a fine mat, that's presenting the culture. That's why people of Samoa and American Samoa, I'm speaking for American Samoa only, are trying to take the fine mats to the USA so that people of Samoa, American Samoa heritage living over there still carry on the importance of the fine mat." In which context are they used?

Pacific News Member of Samoa (Introduction) Although Savai'i is the largest island of the Samoan archipelago, the capital Apia is on the more populated island of Upolu, which is also the seat of government and centre of commerce. Savai'i is considerably less developed than Upolu, dotted with secluded beaches and crowned in the centre by the 609ft Mt Matavanu, whose eruptions in 1905 caused the people to migrate to neighboring Upolu.

Pacific News Member of Samoa (American) Tutuila (American Samoa) Tutuila, the mainisland of American Samoa, is situated about 70 km's eastwards of Upolu. The island is mountainious and covered with lush vegetation. Although you find beautiful landscapes , American Samoa is barely visited by tourist. Mt Alava provides stunning views of the harbour which is the steep sided crater of an ancient volcano, the seaward side of which has collapsed to allow the sea to enter and form the mouth of the harbour. Jean P. Haydon Museum of American Samoa, a national historic building that formerly housed the United States Navy Commisary during World War 2, was officially dedicated by famous anthropologist Margaret Mead, author of the controversial book, 'Coming of Age in Samoa'. Visiting hours are from 8:00am - 4:00pm Monday through Friday. Afono Pass, which winds from one side of Tutuila to the other, offers seven scenic points from which to view the incredibly beautiful Pago Pago harbour.

Extractions: American Samoa The National Park of American Samoa holds the only tropical rainforest that is part of the national park system. Besides the rain forests the park contains pristine coral reefs and magnificent white sand beaches. These habitats are home to unique tropical animals including the Flying Fox, Pacific Boa, tortoises, and an array of birds and fish. A new park visitor center is located in Pago Plaza office building located on the island of Tutuila. Park lands are on three separate islands; Tutuila, Ofu and Tau, and total 9,000 acres. The Samoa Islands are part of Polynesia, a triangular area of the Pacific bounded by Hawaii, New Zealand, and Easter Island. The Samoa Islands have been populated for 3,000 years, but known to the Western world for little more than two centuries. So important is Samoa to Polynesian culture that some believe this was where all Polynesian people originated.

Extractions: STATE OF THE ISLANDS 2.1 American Samoa American Samoa is made up of seven islands with a total land area of 76 square miles. Located in the tropics, it is 14 degrees south of the equator and 160-173 degrees west longitude. This island chain is some 2,300 miles southwest of Hawaii and over 4,100 miles southwest of San Francisco. Sydney, Australia is about 2,700 miles further to the southwest, while Auckland, New Zealand is only 1,600 miles southwest. American Samoa is the only United States territory south of the equator. The seven American Samoan islands are dispersed over 150 miles of water. Tutuila, the main island, is the center of government and business. Its famous Pago Pago harbor is one of the Pacific's deepest and most sheltered harbors. Tutuila has a land area of 56 square miles, with an estimated 95 percent of the 56,000 total population living there. The remaining 20 square miles include the three islands of Ofu, Olosega, and Ta'u of the Manu'a group located 60 miles east of Tutuila; Aunu'u, a small island 1/4 mile off the eastern shore of Tutuila; Rose Atoll, a wildlife refuge 60 miles east of Manu'a; and Swain's Island, 200 miles north of Tutuila. American Samoa's population is growing rapidly. The mid-year population estimate for 1995 is 56,350. This represents growth of approximately 21% since the 1990 census showed a population of 46,773, a much higher figure than was anticipated. This growth is the result of in-migration and high birth rates, including births to non-residents. As might be expected this rapid population growth places a strain on the public infrastructure and on the ASG's ability to provide necessary services.
