“The Banner of Freedom” (Samoan: O Le Fu’a o Le Sa’olotoga o Samoa) is the National Anthem of Samoa. Both the words (which reference the country’s flag) and the music were composed by Sauni Iiga Kuresa. It was adopted as the national anthem upon Samoa’s gaining of independence from New Zealand in 1962.
