The Samoan archipelago includes the US Territory of American Samoa and the independent nation of Samoa (formerly Western Samoa).The islands are located 2,600 miles southwest of Hawaii and 1,800 miles northwest of New Zealand, between Fiji and Tahiti. The Samoan chain stretches east to west for more than 300 miles between 13 and 15 degree south latitude (below the equator). It is just east of the international dateline, in the timezone that is one hour earlier than Hawaii.

Lobster, shrimp, fish, and breadfruit—a sumptuous meal of local village subsistence resources  

Did You Know?
The Act of Congress which established this national park allowed limited subsistence fishing and farming (the parklands are theirs—it is merely leased for park purposes). This lavish example of a village celebratory feast came from local reef waters.
