American Samoa: U.S. Polynesian Territory in the South Pacific

Located in the eastern part of the Samoan archipelago in the South Pacific, American Samoa is the only unincorporated territory of the United States and the southernmost possession of the United States. It consists of five volcanic islands, including Tutuila and Ta'u, and two coral atolls. Pago Pago, the capital, is one of the deepest natural harbors in the United States. The population is about 55,000, mostly Polynesian, with Samoan and English as the official languages, and the culture retains strong Polynesian traditions, such as the native consciousness of the Māu movement. The economy is dependent on U.S. aid, canned tuna (which dominates exports), and tourism, and residents are U.S. citizens but do not vote for the president. The tropical maritime climate is warm year-round, and the blend of American modernity and Polynesian traditions makes it a unique Pacific cultural crossroads.
