Canoes in Apia Harbor 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 January 1, 1962—the date New Zealand’s Western Samoa Act of 1961 went into effect. But Samoans celebrate their freedom today, June 1. We hope those rowers in the canoes are back in time for the party.
