Honoring Samoa Flag Days in the United States
Each year, communities across the United States come together to remember and celebrate the rich heritage of American Samoa and Independent Samoa of their respective Flag Days. These occasions serve as meaningful reminders of cultural pride, unity, and the history of the Samoan people. For American Samoa, Flag Day commemorates April 17, 1900, when the region officially became a U.S. territory. Similarly, Independent Samoa celebrates its own national identity and sovereignty on June 1, marking its independence in 1962. Through vibrant events, traditional music, dance, and shared stories, these Flag Days highlight the deep connections between the Samoan diaspora and their ancestral roots, while inviting others to appreciate and learn about this beautiful culture.
