Extractions: STATE OF THE ISLANDS 2.1 American Samoa American Samoa is made up of seven islands with a total land area of 76 square miles. Located in the tropics, it is 14 degrees south of the equator and 160-173 degrees west longitude. This island chain is some 2,300 miles southwest of Hawaii and over 4,100 miles southwest of San Francisco. Sydney, Australia is about 2,700 miles further to the southwest, while Auckland, New Zealand is only 1,600 miles southwest. American Samoa is the only United States territory south of the equator. The seven American Samoan islands are dispersed over 150 miles of water. Tutuila, the main island, is the center of government and business. Its famous Pago Pago harbor is one of the Pacific's deepest and most sheltered harbors. Tutuila has a land area of 56 square miles, with an estimated 95 percent of the 56,000 total population living there. The remaining 20 square miles include the three islands of Ofu, Olosega, and Ta'u of the Manu'a group located 60 miles east of Tutuila; Aunu'u, a small island 1/4 mile off the eastern shore of Tutuila; Rose Atoll, a wildlife refuge 60 miles east of Manu'a; and Swain's Island, 200 miles north of Tutuila. American Samoa's population is growing rapidly. The mid-year population estimate for 1995 is 56,350. This represents growth of approximately 21% since the 1990 census showed a population of 46,773, a much higher figure than was anticipated. This growth is the result of in-migration and high birth rates, including births to non-residents. As might be expected this rapid population growth places a strain on the public infrastructure and on the ASG's ability to provide necessary services.

Extractions: Jump to: Introduction Facts for the Traveler When to Go Events ... Maps Despite the palm-trees-wafting-in-the-trade-winds image, American Samoa is something of an oddity in the South Pacific. Hastily Americanised in the 1960s, the islands have all the ugly results of commercial and cultural imperialism sticking out from behind the fronds. Yet despite all of this, American Samoa still somehow manages to be attractive to travellers. Cultural practice hasn't entirely disappeared, only a small area of the islands is disgustingly polluted and the locals' friendliness has barely been dented. Add to this the trademark Pacific islands weather and an astonishingly picturesque landscape, and you've got a recipe for an intoxicating cocktail of rough liquor and smooth coconut milk. The history of American Samoa over the last hundred years is a history of the desperate attempts by spent colonial forces to exert authority over a traditional people. Everyone from the British, to the Germans, to the Americans have pushed and pulled at the group of islands, and the shared god of all these Western nations has almost totally replaced the traditional belief system.

We offer several ways to define study areas for our Web-based and Call-in reports. These include rings (radii), donut rings (bands), drive-time polygons, or standard geographic areas. Use any combination of these study area types to provide a side-by-side comparison of a specific site to the region in which it resides. There are two types of study areas: Geometric and Geographic Ring reports have been the traditional choice of marketers for collecting demographic data. Choose an intersection or address or a predetermined latitude and longitude coordinate as the centerpoint of a ring study area. A one-, three-, and five-mile ring report describes data in 0- to 1-mile, 0- to 3-mile, and 0- to 5-mile study areas.
Stabilizing Indigenous Languages: American Samoa Language Arts the latter half of the 70s, the government of american samoa through the finding missionswere conducted in the independent state of Western samoa, which at http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/pubs/stabilize/additional/samoa.htm
Extractions: As early as 1965, the Samoan Director of Education mandated Samoan be taught to levels 1-4 in public schools. The concern at that time was the apparent deterioration of some of the basic Samoan courtesies expected from students. It should have started in Early Childhood Education, but the thought was nevertheless important in later thought about the place of Samoan in the Department of Education's Language planning. At about this time, television was a medium of instruction in public schools, and it was a convenient method for the non-Samoans in particular. The course included reading and writing. During the 1970s, levels 7 and 8 were added. The high school program included Samoan as an elective. In the latter half of the 70s, the government of American Samoa through the Department of Education (DOE) launched a very aggressive bilingual program in public school s with federal funding. Much of the funding was used for developing instructional materials, training personnel, and providing workshops. Some of the workshops and fact finding missions were conducted in the independent state of Western Samoa, which at that time had a very strong program going in all public schools from kindergarten through high school. Toward the end of the 1970s, the Samoan Studies section of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (DCI) was developing a separate Samoan curriculum to be offered to Levels 1-12. By the mid-80s, the DCI began to shift its focus from bilingual programs to development of monolingual programs in Samoan for all levels. This section of the DCI has at this time changed its name to Samoan Studies. An ambiguity in the latter title as well as the nature of the instructional materials thus far developed are slowly giving preference to Samoan Language Arts and Culture (Gagana ma Aga a Samoa) as a more appropriate title.
Partnership Development - 2002-2003 Accomplishments for an economist to travel to american samoa for one scope of the work and initiatingthe study will begin a partnership among PSC, OR R, and the state of Hawai http://www.csc.noaa.gov/psc/03accomppartner.html
Extractions: Wai`anae Characterization PSC's Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM) staff worked with the American Samoa Coastal Management Program to commission the first-ever local economic valuation study of coral reefs and nearshore coastal resources for the territory. PSC supported a contract for an economist to travel to American Samoa for one week to meet with local coral reef and coastal managers to design a study to investigate priority local management questions. A request for proposals was advertised and a contractor was selected. The study is expected to be completed by summer of 2004. Funds also were provided to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to develop a local economic valuation study. A similar process of developing the scope of the work and initiating the study will begin in January of 2004. The planning process allows PSC to meet with partners to build a joint vision of the long-term objectives of PSC. It also provides the opportunity to listen to which common coastal themes and issues are the most urgent and how the organization can best respond to further the vision of vital coastal communities. Strategic planning materials were posted to the PSC Web site in April, an internal strategic planning session was held in May, and a meeting of partners took place in August.
