Design Elements and Their Meanings
The Seal of American Samoa features traditional Samoan symbols:
-
Fly switch (fue): symbolizes wisdom.
-
Staff (To'oto'o): represents authority.
-
Tanoa (kava bowl): signifies service to the chief.
-
Tapa cloth background: reflects Samoan artistry.
The seal includes the date April 17, 1900, marking when Samoa became a U.S. territory.
On April 17, 1973, the official seal, featuring the motto "Sāmoa Muamua Le Atua" ("Samoa, Let God Be First"), was dedicated. It was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives on March 2, 1985, by Delegate Fofó Iosefa Fiti Sunia.
