Samoa is divided into eleven itūmālō (political districts), which were established well before the arrival of Europeans. Each district has its own constitutional foundation (faavae), rooted in the traditional order of title precedence as outlined in its faalupega (traditional salutations).^[1]

The capital village of each district administers and coordinates the district's affairs and confers its paramount title, among other responsibilities.
