Amata Commemorates White Sunday

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Uifa'atali Amata wishes all Samoans in American Samoa, independent Samoa, and across the United States a safe and joyful White Sunday.

"Every Samoan knows the importance of White Sunday to our culture," said Amata. "It is more than just a day of events, performances, and church feasts. It is a celebration of our religion and shared history. It is also an acknowledgment of the importance of our youth as the future of our faiths and our culture. We thank God for them and his blessings on our families.

"We celebrate White Sunday in a time of great uncertainty, with some families scattered around the world and unable to celebrate together. It is in times like this when we must celebrate all that we have overcome and the future we are making for ourselves."
