Flag of American Samoa

🎨 What the flag means

A white triangle with a red edge points toward the pole, with dark blue above and below. A bald eagle, a symbol of the United States, holds two Samoan symbols: a club for the power of government and a fly-whisk for the wisdom of Samoan chiefs. The red, white and blue are colours used by both the United States and Samoa.
