520    "Balancing the Tides highlights the influence of marine 
       practices and policies in the unincorporated territory of 
       American S?moa on the local indigenous group, the American
       fishing industry, international seafood consumption, U.S. 
       environmental programs, as well as global ecological and 
       native concerns. Poblete explains how U.S. federal fishing
       programs in the post-World War II period encouraged labor 
       based out of American S?moa to catch and can one-third of 
       all tuna for United States consumption until 2009. Labeled
       Made in the USA, this commodity was sometimes caught by 
       non-U.S. regulated ships, produced under labor standards 
       far below continental U.S. minimum wage and maximum work 
       hours, and entered U.S. jurisdiction tax free. The second 
       half of the book explores the tensions between indigenous 
       and U.S. federal government environmental goals and 
       ecology programs. Whether creating the largest National 
       Marine Sanctuary under U.S. jurisdiction or collecting 
       basic data on local fishing, initiatives that balanced 
       western-based and native expectations for respectful 
       community relationships and appropriate government 
       programs fared better than those that did not acknowledge 
       the positionality of all groups involved. Despite being 
       under the direct authority of the United States, American 
       S?moans have maintained a degree of local autonomy due to 
       the Deeds of Cession signed with the U.S. Navy at the turn
       of the twentieth century that created shared indigenous 
       and federal governance in the region. Balancing the Tides 
       demonstrates how western-style economics, policy-making, 
       and knowledge building imposed by the U.S. federal 
       government have been infused into the daily lives of 
       American S?moans. American colonial efforts to protect 
       natural resources based on western approaches intersect 
       with indigenous insistence on adhering to customary 
       principles of respect, reciprocity, and native rights in 
       complicated ways. Experiences and lessons learned from 
       these case studies provide insight into other tensions 
       between colonial governments and indigenous peoples 
       engaging in environmental and marine-based policy-making 
       across the Pacific and the globe. This study connects the 
       U.S.-American S?moa colonial relationship to global 
       overfishing, world consumption patterns, the for-profit 
       fishing industry, international environmental movements 
       and studies, as well as native experiences and indigenous 
       rights. Open Access publication of this book was made 
       possible by the Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, an 
       initiative sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation."
