Paepaeulupoo - 35:19.13 2. Fuao - 35:19. 35 3. Manulele Tausala I - 35:24.78 4. Matasaua - 36:35.09 5. Taema - 36:37.25 6. Iseula O Le Moana - 37:55.12 7. Fetu O Le Afiafi - 39:12.23 8. Aeto - 37:27.44 9. Fealofani Samoa - 41:02.23 However, Samoa News should point out that there’s a problem with the listing on the results form: The Aeto’s 37:27.44 is a better time than the Iseula O Le Moana’s 37:55.12, which means Aeto should be at the #6 spot, with Iseula moving over to #7, and Fetu O Le Afiafi and Fealo- fani eliminated, with Fetu’s 39:12.23 at #8, and Fealofani’s at #9. Samoa News was able to contact the captain of the Aeto, Va’amua Henry Sesepasara, who said that they are aware of the ‘error’ and have contacted the Fautasi Committee about it. He said the Committee said they would get back to them and they have not heard anything as of 5p.m. yesterday. Third, the Committee has stuck to their decision for the final 7 in the championship race, and the fautasi with the two slowest times will not be participants. However, the two fautasi will be a part of a ‘special’ race com- prising the 5 fautasi fielded by their villages as ‘second’ boats. While not mentioned by the announcers during the heats, Samoa News was told that the special race is scheduled to happen before the championship final of le faigamea i le tai. Participants are: the second fautasi from the villages of Nu’uuli, Fagatogo, Manu’a, Aua, Pago Pago and will include the two fautasi that didn’t make it to the championship finals. The special race is scheduled for early morning, with the championship race to follow. However, the ocean tides and the weather will have the final say on whether or not any of the races will be run today, as it did yesterday. Sean Tilo and his sister Sherry cheering and dancing for their village fautasi, the Aua Paepaeulupo’o Samoa News wishes all captains and crew the best of luck — during the second heat at yesterday’s fautasi regatta for the 2017 Annual Flag Day Fautasi Faigamea may the strength of your oars guide your flight. i le Tai.

    Pacific Island History Poster Profiles A Note for Teachers Acknowledgements Index of Profiles This Profiles are subject to copyright. Photocopying and general reproduction for teaching purposes is permitted. Reproduction of this material in part or whole for commercial purposes is forbidden unless written consent has been obtained from Queensland University of Technology. Requests can be made through the acknowldgements section of this pdf file. A Note for Teachers This series of National History Posters has been designed for individual and group Classroom use and Library display in secondary schools. The main aim is to promote in children an interest in their national history. By comparing their nation's history with what is presented on other Posters, students will appreciate the similarities and differences between their own history and that of their Pacific Island neighbours. The student activities are designed to stimulate comparison and further inquiry into aspects of their own and other's past. The National History Posters will serve a further purpose when used as a permanent display in a designated “History” classroom, public space or foyer in the school or for special Parent- Teacher nights, History Days and Education Days. The National History Posters do not offer a complete survey of each nation's history. They are only a profile. They are a short-cut to key people, key events and the broad sweep of history from original settlement to the present. There are many gaps. The posters therefore serve as a stimulus for students to add, delete, correct and argue about what should or should not be included in their Nation's History Profile.

    AMERICAN SAMOA In: Scott, D.A. (ed.) 1993. A Directory of Wetlands in Oceania. IWRB, Slimbridge, U.K. and AWB, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A Directory of Wetlands in Oceania AMERICAN SAMOA INTRODUCTION by Richard D. Volk Area: 200.47 sq.km. Population: 47,600 (1990 Census, U.S. Census Bureau). American Samoa is an unincorporated flag territory of the United States. It lies in the central South Pacific approximately 4,160 km south-southwest of Honolulu and 2,880 km northeast of Auckland. The territory consists of seven principal islands: five inhabited high islands, one inhabited atoll and one uninhabited atoll. Covering an area of 135 sq.km and with a population of over 40,000, Tutuila (14°18'S, 170°41'W) is the governmental and economic centre of American Samoa. This island and the small offshore island of Aunu'u are home for 96% of the population. Most of the remaining 4% reside on the three islands of the Manu'a group, Ta'u (44 sq.km), Ofu (8 sq.km) and Olosega (5 sq.km), situated about 130 km east-southeast of Tutuila. Tutuila, Aunu'u and the Manu'a group are high volcanic islands of non-continental origin. They rise precipitously from the ocean, and feature narrow coastal strips of relatively flat land and rugged, mountainous interiors. Only 34% of Tutuila's land area has a slope of less than 30%. The other two principal islands are low-lying atolls: Swain's Island (2.1 sq.km), some 360 km north of Tutuila, and Rose Atoll (8 ha), 260 km east of Tutuila.
