  • Trip Planner
    National Park Service National Park of American Samoa U.S. Department of the Interior Trip Planner Explore the Islands of Sacred Earth Talofa (Hello)! The National Park Service welcomes you into the heart of the South Pacific, to a world of sights, sounds, and experiences that you will find in no other national park in the United States. Located some 2,600 miles southwest of Hawai’i, this is one of the most remote and newest national park’s in the United States. You will not find the usual facilities of most national parks. Instead, with a bit of the explorer’s spirit, you will discover secluded villages, rare plants and animals, coral sand beaches, and vistas of land and sea. The national park includes sections of three islands—Tutuila, Ta’u, and Ofu. Almost all the land area of these volcanic islands—from the mountaintops to the coast—is rainforest. About 4,000 acres of the national park is underwater, offshore from all three islands. Enjoy this unique national park in the heart of the South Pacific and the welcoming people of American Samoa. We are here to protect its rich culture and natural resources. Come explore them with us! TROPICAL RAINFOREST From the mountaintops to the ocean’s edge, the islands are covered with mixed-species, paleotropical rainforests. In mixed-species forests, no single tree or plant species dominates. This is the only rainforest of its kind in a United States national park. About 9,500 acres of tropical rainforest are protected here. WILDLIFE Bats are the only native mammals found in American Samoa.

Bennett Johnston, U.S. Senate I I I-liXWNIAN HOMELANDS - - -.- -- Address Land Use Issues United States General Accounting Offke GAO Washington, D.C. 20648 Resources, Community, and Economic Development Division B-252462 May 26,1994 The Honorable Daniel K. Akaka The Honorable J. Bennett Johnston United States Senate The Congress passed the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act (HHCA) in 1921 to address the severe population decline that native Hawaiians had suffered during the 1800s and early 1909s. Major provisions of this act designated certain public lands as Hawaiian homelands for native Hawaiians and established the Hawaiian Homes Commission (Commission) to administer the lands. As you are aware, the state of Hawaii is resolving issues concerning withdrawals’ of Hawaiian homelands, occurring during both the territorial period (1921-59) and the statehood period (1969 to the present), that the state believes were improper. Among other actions, the state has identified specific parcels of withdrawn homelands and, through a consultant, is (1) estimating the value of rent and interest that could have been earned (lost income) from these parcels and (2) appraising the current market value for parcels that continue to be occupied by the U.S. Navy at Lualualei, Oahu, for military purposes,.lhe state plans to present claims on behalf of native Hawaiians for federal compensation for homelands that it believes were improperly withdrawn before Hawaii became a state in 1959. During Senate hearings in 1992 on the implementation of HHCA, questions arose concerning the Department of the Interior’s role in administering homelands during the Hawaiian territorial period.

  • Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
    Great-tailed Grackle Quiscalus mexicanus hypothetical, unassisted occurrence questionable Great-tailed Grackle is resident to N and S America, from the s. U.S. to nw. Peru (AOU 1998). Populations expanded greatly during the 20th century, and vagrants have been recorded N to s. Canada, but it is not considered a highly migratory species. On O'ahu, at least four Great-tailed Grackles have been observed. The first two records involved long-staying birds: a female on the Waipi'o Peninsula, Pearl Harbor, 26 May 1980-14 Jan 1995 (E 44:98, 47:95, 48:114; HRBP 0201, 0236-0237, 0552-0553, 0958- 0959) and a male along the waterfront of downtown Honolulu, most frequently at Ala Moana Beach Park and on Sand I., 26 May 1988-12 Jun 1995 (E 48:78; HRBP 0834- 0837, 0895), which was found dead in Jul (specimen to BYUH collection). The female was missed for long periods (notably a three-year stretch in 1988-1991) promoting speculation that two birds were involved, and two males were reported for a period in about 1992 by workers on Sand I who regularly fed bread to the original male grackle, but we consider only two individuals during this period as substantiated to species. Subsequently, in 2010-2016, at least two and possibly additional male Great-tailed Grackles were seen at various locations around O'ahu. The first male was reportedly rescued from fishing-line entanglement near a barge near Aloha Tower, Honolulu 16 Jun 2010, and later observed nearby. On 28 Mar 2011 a male was found at Ala Moana Beach Park with a missing right foot (HRBP 6776-6777) and it was speculated that it may have lost its foot in the previous fishing-line encounter at Aloha Tower.
