With no local or municipal sublevels, the American Samoa Government is highly centralized and performs all basic government functions plus a few more. Despite continuing pressure for greater government efficiency, the ASG is heavily influenced by the paternalism of the matai (chief) system and has found it difficult to reduce its payroll. Many in the ASG perceive their role in social and economic development as providers of jobs and incomes, in addition to government services.[

This treaty went into effect on February 16, 1900. On April 17, 1900, the matai (chiefs) of Tutuila formally ceded the islands of Tutuila and Aunu'u to the United States. On July 16, 1904, the king and matai of Manu'a ceded the islands of Ta'u, Ofu, Olosega, and Rose Atoll to the United States. Congress formally ratified the 1900 and 1904 deeds of cession retroactively in 1929. Swains Island became part of American Samoa by joint resolution of Congress in 1925. Political Status American Samoa, an unincorporated and unorganized territory of the United States, is administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is "unincorporated" because not all provisions of the U.S. Constitution apply to the territory. The Congress has not provided the territory with an organic act, which organizes the government much like a constitution would. Instead, the Congress gave plenary authority over the territory to the Secretary of the Interior, who in turn allowed American Samoans to draft their own constitution under which their government functions.

H.C. ATUALEVAO MEREDITH et al. , Plaintiffs v. AMERICAN SAMOA GOVERNMENT, Defendant High Court of American Samoa LT No. 012-85 June 25, 1985 Once land is condemned for a public purpose title vests in the government in fee simple. The usual rules pertaining to eminent domain prevail in American Samoa. A change in the use of condemned land does not vest title back in the original owner. 48 U.S.C. section 1661(b), excepting American Samoa from the application of United States public land laws, does not restrict acquisition by eminent domain. The original matais who ceded American Samoa to the United States specifically recognized the right of eminent domain and that right is not impaired by the communal land system. Before GARDNER, Chief Justice, Presiding, TAUANU'U, Chief Associate Judge, and LUALEMAGA, Associate Judge. Counsel : For the Plaintiffs, John Ward For the Defendants, Enere Levi, Assistant Attorney General Defendant has moved for a Summary Judgment. The parties are in agreement that there are no justiciable issues of fact. FACTS In 1960 the American Samoa Government (hereafter A.S.G.) condemned 554 acres of land in Tafuna for airport purposes. Included was 72.72 acres of communal land of Lemeana'i family. For this the former title holder received, under protest, $18,857.61. Prior to receiving this compensation the Lemeana'i family had been adjudged the owners of this property in High Court case No.16-1957. The condemnation case, No.15-1959, decreed that the 554 acres was taken for public use and vested fee simple title in A.S.G.

4 March 2003 East-West Center's Pacific Disaster Center Chosen to Develop the American Samoa Hazard Mitigation Plan Pacific Disaster Center to Develop Hazard Mitigation Plan On December 26, 2002, American Samoa's Territorial Emergency Management Coordinating Office awarded a contract to the East-West Center’s Pacific Disaster Center (PDC) to develop a Risk and Vulnerability Assessment and Hazard Mitigation Plan for the Territory of American Samoa. The Social Science Research Institute (SSRI) of the University of Hawaii is a member of the PDC team. The Project is designed to build mitigation planning capacity in American Samoa through a collaborative effort involving the Project Team, the American Samoa Mitigation Council, and staff from the Territorial Emergency Management Coordinating Office and other American Samoa Government agencies. The project will be completed in August of 2003. "The goal of this mitigation planning effort is to reduce the loss of life and lessen the impact of future natural disasters on the American Samoa people,” comments Peter Colvin, the PDC’s Executive Director. “Islands are very vulnerable to many hazards, as December's Super Typhoon Pongsona in Guam and January's Typhoon Ami in Fiji has demonstrated.” "Our work with the American Samoa government over the next eight months will help raise the awareness of decision makers regarding the short and long term consequences of regional natural hazards. Our work together will produce a state-of-the-art natural hazard risk assessment and vulnerability study along with a mitigation plan identifying actions that American Samoa government and businesses can take in order to protect their people, their economy, and their environment.”
