Seal of American Samoa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Seal of American Samoa is based in traditional local design.

The fue or the fly switch, represents wisdom, while the To'oto'o or staff represents authority. Both symbols are used by talking chiefs indicating their rank. The Tanoa (ava bowl) represents service to the chief.

The Samoan motto Samoa Ia Muamua Le Atua is translated Samoa, Let God Be First.
