While Tutuila and Aunu'u became part of the United States through the Treaty of Cession of Tutuila (April 17\, 1900)\, Manu'a remained under the leadership of its local chiefs\, especially Tui Manu'a Elisara\, who was the last traditional sovereign of Manu'a. \nOn July 16\, 1904\, Tui Manu'a Elisara and other chiefs signed the Treaty of Cession of Manu'a. The treaty ceded sovereignty of Manu'a to the United States\, completing the unification of all the islands of American Samoa under U.S. authority. \nUnlike Tutuila\, where there was little resistance\, Manu'a's cession was more sensitive because the Tui Manu'a title carried deep cultural and political importance. As part of the agreement\, the U.S. promised to respect Samoan customs\, land rights\, and traditions\, allowing the fa'a Samoa (Samoan way of life) to remain central in daily governance. \nAfter 1904\, Manu'a came under the administration of the U.S. Navy\, which governed American Samoa until 1951. \nTui Manu'a Elisara\, who signed the treaty\, passed away in 1909\, marking the symbolic end of the Tui Manu'a monarchy. The title has not been officially revived since. The holiday underscores the importance of unity within American Samoa and highlights how the treaties of 1900 and 1904 together shaped the territory's modern identity.
