History

The Samoan Tribal in Alaska traces its roots back to the early 20th century when Samoan workers were recruited to Alaska to help with the construction of the Alaska Railroad. Over time, a tight-knit community formed as Samoan families settled in various towns across the state. Today, we have grown into a vibrant community that cherishes our Samoan identity while embracing the rich cultural tapestry of Alaska.
