Molioleava

The inner wharf of American Samoa is a contributing factor to world trade and infrastructure from the United States to other countries around the world and the neighbor islands. The wharf relies on a light which harbors ships in to the direct seaway routes to anchor in the wharf for business, travel and tourism. This light is the Molioleava (Harbor Light) standing atop the hill of the village of Laulii, American Samoa. The author is from the village of Laulii, and is from the family who owns the land lease-contracted by departments of the public sectors of American Samoa and medium organizations. Molioleava is the home to the author's ancestors' burial grounds; its peaking cape point is also home to telecommunication, medium satellites and television services within the Territory of American Samoa.
