Tuʻi Manuʻa Elisala

Tuʻi Manuʻa Elisala was the paramount chief of the Manuʻa Islands at the eastern end of Samoa at the turn of the 20th century. After the Tripartite Convention of 1899 assigned eastern Samoa to the United States, he signed the deed of cession of Manuʻa on 16 July 1904. He was the last holder of the title recognised as ruler before it lapsed under American administration.
