Extractions: American Samoa American Samoa , a group of islands in the mid-South Pacific, is located about 2,300 miles from Honolulu. American Samoa has a land area of 76 square miles and approximately 57,291 residents (est. 2000, U.S. Census Bureau), most of whom live on Tutuila. Since American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the U.S., its people are U.S. nationals who freely enter the U.S. An estimated 65,000 Samoans have migrated to the West Coast and some 20,000 live in Hawaii. The territory has an important tuna processing industry, and its capital, Pago Pago, has a great natural harbor with dry dock and port facilities. The local government is the biggest employer in American Samoa. Culture The Samoan culture is strong and intact. The Faasamoa (Samoan way of life) is centered on the "aiga" (family), which consists of the immediate family and extended family members (maternal and paternal) such as grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. The family name holds special value in the hearts of Samoans and every opportunity is taken to keep that name in good standing within the community. The "matai" (chief) is the head of the family and has the final say on decisions that are made for the family and their land. Land in American Samoa is communally owned; therefore, it is up to the matai of the family to distribute the land among family members. Community hospitality is ingrained into the Samoan way of life with families commonly inviting guests into their homes.

Alexander Abstract: Comments on the content of sovereignity studies in constitutional law. Issues on citizenship; Reasons for the importance of addressing sovereignity cases; Background of transnationalism. AN: ISSN: Database: Academic Search Elite Best Part SOVEREIGNTY STUDIES IN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: A COMMENT Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of the nation-state. It is, I believe, the only organized political force able to effectively pursue social justice and social peace. My purpose here is to note the rather unselfconscious way in which constitutional casebook writers "assume the state." By this I mean that casebooks begin with an implicit model of a state exercising (lawful) authority over a people (citizens) and territory. The major questions addressed are the scope of that authority and its distribution among various state agents (federalism, separation of powers). Citizens are figured as both authors (Marbury) and objects of state power (regulated, e.g., under the commerce clause); and significant attention is paid to constitutional norms condemning "second-class citizenship" (equal protection, privileges and immunities). But this seems to start the story in the middle. "We the People" are busy governing and being governed while we reside on the territory of the United States. Yet we have not investigated who fits within the category of "We the People," nor how territory was acquired. More important, it is also a very limited story: it does not seek to problematize membership rules or examine whether state power extends beyond territorial borders; it ignores other polities within our midst (Indian tribes; territorial governments); it doesn't recognize levels of membership (immigrants, residents of the District of Columbia); and it fails to ask what force legal norms established outside the nation-state could or should have.

Archeological permits were issued under the Antiquities Act between 1906 and 1984. Beginning in 1979, permits began to be issued under the Archeological Resources Protection Act, as well as the Antiquities Act. After 1984, permits were no longer issued exclusively under the Antiquities Act. In the database, 1,278 of the entered permit records were issued exclusively under the Antiquities Act and 1,124 permits were issued exclusively under ARPA. One hundred five (105) permits were issued under both Acts and 115 records do not list any legislative authority (Figure 2).

Extractions: THE DEPARTMENT OF EVERYTHING ELSE Territorial Affairs Territorial Affairs During most of America's nationhood, a major portion of the land under United States jurisdiction was in territories rather than states. In 1873, when Congress transferred territorial oversight from the Secretary of State to the Secretary of the Interior, the governance of some 1,629,000 square miles became a department responsibility. By then the United States had reached its present continental dimensions encompassing nearly 3,611,000 square miles, so that the territories covered about 45 percent of the national domain. From them were formed the states of Colorado in 1876; Montana, Washington, and North and South Dakota in 1889; Wyoming and Idaho in 1890; Utah in 1896; Oklahoma in 1907; Arizona and New Mexico in 1912; and Alaska in 1959. In 1898 the United States acquired its first insular possessions, annexing the Hawaiian Islands and obtaining Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines from Spain following the Spanish-American War. America's Pacific presence was extended a year later with the addition of several of the Samoan Islands. Only Hawaii came under Interior at the outset; the State Department took primary responsibility for Puerto Rico, the War Department supervised the Philippines, and the Navy Department oversaw Guam and American Samoa. When the United States purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917, the Navy also took charge of that Caribbean possession.

Extractions: Associated Press The U.S. House has passed legislation that renews the partnership agreements between the United States and two Pacific island nations and provides financial aid to Hawaii and three U.S. territories to help offset the costs related to immigrant islanders. The legislation to renew the Compacts of Free Association with the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands includes $30 million in impact aid. The House version passed last week on a unanimous voice vote. The Senate has yet to schedule a vote on either the House bill or its own version of the legislation. The financial provisions of the agreements expired Sept. 30, but Congress extended the funding another month. The United States has contributed an estimated $2.6 billion to the two island nations since the compacts were established in 1986, when the governments first entered into the agreement. The new compacts will authorize the federal government to provide $3.5 billion over the next 20 years, with the goal of weaning the two countries from U.S. aid.

A federal district court ruling in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a controversy in American Samoa about the exclusion of Arabs, and the proliferation of sweatshops staffed by foreign workers in Saipan mean that these islands, usually of little interest to Mainland policy makers, cannot be ignored in the broader effort to overhaul our immigration policies and procedures.

Extractions: Site Search: Center Home Coastal Remote Sensing Remote Sensing for Coastal Management Sensor Summaries ... Waterways Remote Sensing for Coastal Management Knowing the exact location and distribution of coral reefs is essential to their protection and preservation. Coastal managers in the Pacific Islands are using high-resolution IKONOS imagery to map the location of coral reefs. In 1998, President Clinton signed Executive Order 13089 to "preserve and protect the biodiversity, health, heritage, and social and economic value of U.S. coral reef ecosystems and the marine environment." A large percentage of the coral reefs addressed by this order are found in Hawaii and the U.S. territories in the Pacific Ocean (Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa). To effectively manage the coral reefs, coastal managers need to know exactly where the corals are located. This information helps managers accomplish the following: IKONOS data are multispectral, meaning that the data are captured in four spectral bands (red, blue, green, and near-infrared). Because of the multiple bands, researchers can use more than one method to map corals from the imagery. They can use the imagery for visual interpretation, similar to a traditional aerial photograph, or they can run mathematical models on the spectral data to extract more detailed information.
Extractions: WASHINGTON, D.C. On July 17, 2002, the Committee on Resources held an oversight hearing on the Compacts of Free Association between the United States and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and the United States and the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). The purpose of Title II of the Compacts is to assist the Governments of the FSM and RMI in their efforts to advance economic self-sufficiency. The committee also conducted a legislative hearing on bills affecting the Native American community. U.S. Rep. Nick J. Rahall (D-WV), the Ranking Democrat on the committee, issued the following remarks: Thank you Mr. Chairman. I want to welcome both negotiators from the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), respectively - Foreign Minister Gerald Zackios and Senator Peter Christian. The Committee recognizes the distance youve had to travel to represent your countries before this Committee and we appreciate your being with us this afternoon. I want to extend my personal condolences to Senator Christian and to the people of the FSM. About two weeks ago, a tropical storm with torrential rains devastated the state of Chuuk, causing massive landslides. I am told that hundreds were injured, many are still missing, and the death toll is near 50.
