evidence: Two coral atolls are part of the political group, albeit not exactly part of the geological archipelago. They are Swains Island, presently essentially uninhabited and Rose Atoll, uninhabited. Swains Island is geographically part of the Tokelau group, but was settled by an American, Eli Jennings, in 1856.

[...] American Samoa is an unincorporated, unorganized territory of the United States. Both of these terms are complex in nature and require considerable study to fully understand. Unincorporated means there are some, albeit rather minor, differences between the rights of the citizens of a territory and a full US citizen. Unorganized refers to a variety of organic acts, most of which give the US Government control of some or all the land in a territory. American Samoa’s communal land system is in conflict with a broad organic act.
