Manu A Tourist Information
Manu A
This is the land of the Tui Manu'a, who ruled these islands for generations until they were ceded over to the United States and became part of American Samoa. According to legends and Samoan myths, this is the ancient land of Tagaloa, the pagan god of Samoa and various other Polynesian islands. Also according to those same myths, it was here that he came down and formed man and earth. While the rest of Samoa was fiercely contested between families and political factions, the linage of Tui Manu'a held absolute power in an intensity close to a religion.
Changes are slow to effect Manu'a compared to the rest of American Samoa. Many of the original Samoan houses were destroyed by the latest desvastating hurricanes and are now replaced with palagi houses. In spite of that, you might experience in Manu'a the same things that the American anthropologist Margaret Mead did when she was doing her research about the Samoan adolescents during the 1920's. Yes, Manu'a will provide that romatic vacation as many other tropical island do now a days. But more than that, it will offer a visitor a glimpse backward to Samoa and the South Pacific that's clouded in ancient mysteries and lore.
