Uila O Le Sami is the formal title in Amerika Samoa given to Bruckner Chase by the High Talking Chief of the village Aunu’u in Amerika Samoa in May 2011 during a blessing and ceremony on the island moments before he began an unprecedented 9-mile crossing from Aunu’u Island to Pago Pago, the main island of Amerika Samoa. It can be translated to “Lightning in the Ocean” in English.
