Most of the land in American Samoa is owned via a communal system known as ‘aiga. ‘Aiga is a family unit that includes a wide family group of blood relatives and associated marriages or adoptions. Samoan’s can be members of multiple ‘Aigas and can gain members through the female or male ancestral lines.
