Tulimalefoi Mauga

Tulimalefoi Mauga is a princess of American Samoa and has been an information management specialist for the United States Air Force.
She is the daughter of Fatulegaee Mauga, who had been the next person in line to the post of hih chief of American Samoa prior to his death.
In the early 1990s, as a part of the rituals of American Samoa royalty, she received tribal tattoos on her right biceps and one both legs. The process was performed the traditional way, leaving the subject in pain for a week or two thereafter. The people of the area gathered around her during her recovery to distract her from the pain.<ref name="Airman"/>
