ANSWER: A more formal alliance was made with Eastern Samoa in the early 1900s to the Republic of the United States and with all citizens to be equal in rights, a title cession was agreed upon that the rank be as according to custom, a suspension of title. The First Flag Day was celebrated in April 1900. American Samoa reformed it's Government in 1967 to take on votes replacing older customs of Samoan Entitlement, proud of it's systematic evolution without a protest or War. Wikipedia has misled readers into a White vs Samoan History, which does not convey the overall trust proceedings. With US. American administrations and politics changing upon elections, American Samoan issues fall under The United States Department of Interior so that relations can not be interfered with, so does this as well pertain to Trust Regions or Native American Confederations of the same relationship with the USA. Eastern Samoa or American Samoa remains an 'unincorporated region' which means it's status is aligned, but not apart of, and is simply said to have a "special relationship" with The United States and it's Navy.
Further information on The US. Samoan Treaty of 1900
There have been Samoan-Union-US. relations since 1839, long before the United States became the actual United States after its Civil War with the Confederate States in the 1860s. In 1839 Commander Wilkes who was surveying the Polynesian region looking for new relations, came upon Eastern Samoa who were already in contact with the British missionary, met with Dutch, and had chased off the French. By the year 1900, 60 years later, Samoan-US. relations were well trusted and sealed with the 18th President General Grant Administration.
Translations of Treaties have in the past and still do today have their legal contestations, and the word "Cession" does have a relevant translation of 'retire' referring only to title and not lands. The US. Samoan Treaty of 1900 only reaffirms Samoa's autonomy, and to no other than under it's own Samoan people, and full rights over it's lands and surrounding ocean claims, this to explain the term "unincorporated", with it's own Samoan Government, this to explain the term "unorganized", and in so having such status American Samoan Nationals can not vote towards US. Presidential elections unless pledging their national oath under further jurisdictional terms by state witness to become a US. resident citizen. United States citizens too can not own land in Eastern Samoa (American Samoa) and must be born there and pass a Blood quantum requirement.
Wikipedia and online PropagandaPolitics in the Asia Pacific and Polynesia are a complicated area of study involving not only Pacific Island nations but from many nations overseas in the Americas and in Europe. New Zealand politics has also been confronted with calling American Samoa a "Colony" of the United States, confusing their own history with American Samoa's status.
This photo has been uploaded online as being the US. Samoan Treaty of 1900 by American Samoa to the United States. This though is a single last page of a longer Treaty with Fiji in the Fijian Museum and has nothing to do with American Samoan History.
