The flag of American Samoa features a rich and symbolic design. It consists of a blue field with a white triangle containing a bald eagle clutching a war club and a fly-whisk in its talons. The blue represents the Pacific Ocean, while the white triangle symbolizes peace. The red border of the triangle stands for courage and strength. The eagle, a symbol of the United States, reflects American Samoa's ties to the U.S. The traditional Samoan weapons held by the eagle highlight the unique cultural heritage and readiness to defend the islands.
