The Samoan community of Seattle and the greater Pacific Northwest gathered for their annual Flag Day celebration, honoring American Samoa's unique status as a U.S. territory.

The event featured traditional food, music, and dance performances showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Samoa.

"Even though we're far from home, we carry our culture in our hearts," said the event organizer. "Flag Day reminds us of who we are and where we come from."

The celebration also included a special recognition ceremony for community elders.
