Canoes in Apia Harbour at Apia, Samoa
Come ashore in time to celebrate Samoa’s independence today! Samoa became the first small island independent nation in the South Pacific on 1 January 1962 – the date New Zealand’s Western Samoa Act of 1961 went into effect. But Samoans celebrate their freedom on 1 June every year. We hope those rowers in the canoes are back in time for the party.
