I have visited both Islands and the people in general in American Samoa are much bigger.
They all are tall and very thick.
I went to buy a shirt there and their large shirts are like equal to XXX large's here.
I picked up a 3X large over there and It looked like a bed sheet.

All of the Pacific Islanders tend to be of a large build. I heard once that the average weight of a sedentry male in Tonga was around 200lbs. I wasn't aware of the differences.

I went to a graduating class in 1985
They all were taller than me and when they were walking out, I asked my Wife (im now divorced) if that was the football (American) team and she laughed.
They were all about 6 foot tall and all weighed over 200 lbs or there abouts.
The kids were skinny but the adults were very thick with massive forearms.

They are a hard people that use the land for food. They spend alot of time preparing the food and gathering it.

They processed the Coconuts by ripping off the outer husk (that was very hard for me) then they crack the coconut by hand with a knife (dull side) then they take a basket full of cracked coconuts then they sit on this sawhorse looking thing where they rake the inside of the coconut and get the white meat out of it.

Now mind you when they get the coconuts they have to climb a tree with a machette in their mouths then cut them down.
Then they manutacture a basket from big leaves then carry all this back to do the above.

I tried to do the meat removal thing and my forearms got so pumped i was good for like one whole coconut.
This old chap did probably 20 coconuts non stop.

Then when they have a huge basket of the meat (white inner part of the coconut) they put it in some stuff that looks like cheese cloth (some fiberous root) then the wring this out into a bowl.

Damn, all that for some coconut juice

Then they boil their banana's (small green ones) in that coconut juice.

Worse yet they have to lug a massive amount of banana's just to do the above.

The amount of work just to prepere that was sickining. Not to mention it tasted terrible.
I asked for a regular banana and they all laughted at me and said those were too sweet.

But yes by nature they were very big people.
