Description:
For the 1964 New York World's Fair, the Poly Trade society put together the Polynesia exhibit representing the islands of Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga and Fiji. According to the brochure, they had "authentic Native Dancers and Pearl Divers direct from Pago Pago." There seems to be a particular focus on pearls and a new resort being built in Pago Pago, American Samoa.
