I have been to America Samoa and they have no desire to be a state it would actually destroy their way of living. Villages are communal owned with a Chief .Property can only be owned by Samoans Because of this hotel Chains can not buy property they can only lease it so they do not build in American Samoa. There are very few tourist and the culture has stayed the most traditional in the South Pacific the eastern side of the Island beauty is among the best in the world and close by the Island of Ofu in the Manua group matches anything in french Polynesia with out the tourist When I first got to Ofu I was the only Tourist on the Island. American Samoa is like what Hawaii was 100 years ago. I stayed with Tisa and Candyman on American Samoa http://tisasbarefootbar.com/ and Tito And Marge on Ofu http://www.vaotolodge.com/index.html here is a great link on Ofu http://www.concierge.com/cntraveler/articles/5747
