We have a new podcast in town!  Pasifika Issues Podcast was born from the discussions we had on the founding U.S. chapter, Pasifika Law Students, facebook page. 

In a 4 part series, Leauma Alefosio and Ruby Fanaika Fa'agau weigh the pros and cons of Birthright Citizenship in American Samoa. 

In the first episode, Leauma provides a rich background and history of American Samoa’s relationship with the U.S. Please take a listen, carefully weigh the issues for yourself, and share your thoughts on the matter.
