Ep 13: American Sāmoa with Alema Leota

from Wai? Indigenous Words and Ideas · host Arcia Tecun

The attorney Alema Leota joins me in this episode to discuss current issues in American Sāmoa. We begin with him giving an introduction to the background of the territory and then discuss the perpetuation of culture, fishing rights, land and ocean space in some of his work. We then discuss a different case regarding American Sāmoans becoming natural born citizens vs. nationals. While some are praising the decision, others are not, and we explore the complexity of the issue.
