What is "manu'a"

Manua, or the Manua Islands Group (Samoan: Manua tele), in the Samoan Islands, consists of three main islands: Tau, Ofu and Olosega. The islands are located some 110 km (70 mi) east of Tutuila and are a part of American Samoa; their area is 56 sq km with a population of 1,400. Tau is the biggest island with its 44 sq km, and harbors the highest point of the Manua at 931 m.

Politically, the islands form the Manu'a District, one of the three administrative divisions of American Samoa.
