About Us_
|
The contents of Manuatele.net focus on Samoa and Samoan descendants worldwide. I started out concentrating on American Samoa related topics. However, I've expanded the scope of this website to include stories that affect Samoans residing in other parts of the world especially the United States of America where most people from American Samoa reside. Manuatele.net collects and aggregates articles from various sources, such as news organizations and press releases from governmental and nongovernmental sources. News, press releases and stories are presented with minimal editing to provide raw information for visitors. Also, to provide non-Samoans with information about Samoa as they contemplate visiting American Samoa for business or pleasure. This website was envisioned as another avenue to bring the following interests together using the power of the Internet.
Use this site to promote your business, make announcements, and voice your opinion about Samoan related subjects. What issues are affecting American Samoans and Samoan Americans residing in the mainland United States? Who are offering solutions to the issues that are important to Samoans? What solutions do they offer, and how do they affect the Samoan communities and the wider American society? Share your thoughts on those questions. Your contribution and cooperation is appreciated. Contacting Us Press here to contact us using a submit form. Contribute Manuatele attracts individuals who are from American Samoa, who have connections to American Samoa, and who are interested about American Samoa. To share, contact: editor @ manuatele.net or by using the online submission form on this page. There is no cost for this service. If you like to write, contribute stories and letters to be published on the Manuatele website. Share you talent with others. Let people know what is happening in your community. Please be professional, truthful, and courteous. Posting anonymous names is not the right way to handle things. The Internet provides everyone an open forum for so much information to spread, in some cases irresponsibly, without regards to their value, accuracy, or worthiness. So, if you want to reply to an article posted on this site or write an article yourself, please understand that your full name will be required as part of the deal. I appreciate your understanding on this matter. Also, if you know of any useful information that might help other families or individuals out there, let me know. For example, if you know of a science or sports program in your community to signup children, or scholarships - let me know and I'll post it here for others to see. Do you know of someone getting a special promotion, scholarship, enlistment, or in the news - let me know. Send all news and press releases to: editor @ manuatele.net, or by using the online submission form on this page. To Advertise On This Site Privacy Information This site will never collect your information for any purpose other than to communicate with you, if and when you contact me. That's a promise. Disclaimer Manuatele.net is not a news site. My goal is to collect Samoan related stories, information, and links to other sources for the benefit of Samoans and non-Samoans. That would be a more useful service to the visitors and that, I hope, will provide a medium for expanded discussions on issues important to Manu'a, American Samoa, and Samoans living off-island. Articles contributed and published here do not indicate that I support such views. They are published for the benefit of the visitors and are solely the views of the contributors.

Because I live off-island, my access to information about Samoa is very limited. Hence, I greatly appreciate the help provided by friends and others for contributing articles, and allowing me to feature photos and news worthy announcements on this site. Thank you very, very much. Pen Fiatoa
