To the west of the island of Wallis and Futuna group. The 2000 census showed the total population of 57,291 people. The total land area of 200.22 km2 (77 square miles), slightly larger than Washington, DC, American Samoa, the southern territory of the United States.
It is believed that the islands of Samoa were originally lived as far back as 1000 BC . Samoa was not reached by European explorers until the eighteenth century. Pre-history of Western Samoa (now American Samoa) is inextricably linked with the history of Western Samoa (now independent Samoa). Manua Islands American Samoa has one of the oldest stories in Polynesia, in connection with the title of Tui Manua, relating to the history of the archipelago, Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands, Tokelau and elsewhere in the Pacific all of which had once been under the occupation of mana.
Tui Manua Manua ruled over most of the Pacific, including Tonga, long before the Tui Tonga Empire. While Tui Manua ruled Tonga, external influences came in the form of imperial activity, beginning with the Empire Twohy Pulotu in Fiji and the subsequent Empire Tui Manua of Samoa. That is, Tonga is strongly influenced by imperialism as Fiji and Samoa. However, Tonga was able to escape through the bitter and bloody wars of imperial domination Tui Manua, which ultimately led to the formation of the empire Tui Tonga around AD 950, in the face of ‘Ao’ eitu, the first Tui Tonga, whose father was a deified Samoan high chief, Eitumâtupu’a Tangaloa, and the mother of women of Tonga, Va’epopua, the great noble origin. This double origin entitled Tui Tonga to hold both divine and secular offices.

Tutuila and Aunuu were politically connected to ‘Upolu island in what is now independent Samoa.
We can say that all the Samoa islands are politically connected today through faamatai chiefly system and through family ties, which are as strong as ever. This system faamatai and customs fa’asamoa emerged with two of the most famous early chiefs of Samoa, who were both women and associated with them, and Nafanua Salamasina.
