American Samoa Flag - Official Design, Symbolism, and History #244793 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of American Samoa consists of a deep blue field symbolizing freedom, a white isosceles triangle edged in red representing purity and sacrifice, and a bald eagle at the triangle’s center holding a traditional Samoan war club (uatogi) and fly whisk (fue), signifying the union of American and Samoan cultures. Adopted on April 27, 1960, it was designed by local artist John E. Talauega and approved by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. The eagle’s posture and grip reflect protection, authority, and cultural respect.
