Aiga-i-le-Tai is a district of Samoa which includes the small islands of Manono, Apolima and tiny uninhabited Nu'ulopa lying in the Apolima Strait between the country's two main islands of Upolu and Savai'i. The district includes part of the mainland at the western end of Upolu and surrounds an exclave of A'ana district, namely Satuimalufilufi village. Historically, Manono island has been the centre of the district. In modern times, the main centre is Mulifanua where the inter-island ferry terminal is located for ocean crossings between Savai'i and Upolu. With an area of only 27 km², Aiga-i-le-Tai is the smallest electoral district〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Pacific Islands Legal Information Institute )〕 in the country with a population (2001 Census) of 4,508. Va'a-o-Fonoti is the only electoral district with a smaller population. The words '''aiga i le tai'' literally means 'family by the sea' in the Samoan language. ==Chief titles== (詳細は''matai'') titles in the district is Leiataua. The district is also a major leg of the Sa Malietoa clan. Manono plays an important part in the election of the Malietoa title-holders, as Malie village must consult with Manono in the election of title holders, hence the importance of the Malietoa title in this district. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aiga-i-le-Tai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
