Tia Seu Lupe is a historical site at

Fatuoaiga, American Samoa, which is maintained by the American Samoa Department of Parks and Recreation.[1] The Tia Seu Lupe Historic Monument was dedicated by Governor Peter Tali Coleman in May 1990. It is located on a 0.2 ha plot of land on the Tafuna Plain which has been leased by the Government of American Samoa. The monument exhibits a stone structure which archeologists believe were platforms constructed for the chiefly sport of pigeon catching.[2] The name "Tia Seu Lupe" literally means "earthen mound to catch pigeons".[3]

Tia Seu Lupe is located near the

Fatuoaiga.[3][4][5]

The historical park is located next to the only patch of lowland rainforest still found on

Tutuila Island.[5][6][7]
