Faleu is one of four small villages on Manono Island in Samoa. The village population is 354 (2006 Census).[1]
The other villages on Manono island are Lepuia'i, Apai and Salua. All the settlements on Manono Island fall within the political district of Aiga-i-le-Tai.[2]
There are also sub divisions within these villages that notes the pito nu'u or smaller areas within the villages. Manono Tai is the local and traditional term for this island, as the word Tai means 'distance from land'. Manono Uta is where the mainland (Upolu Island) is situated.
Despite the geographic separation of Manono Uta and Manono Tai, the people are one village with close kinship and history. The inhabitants on Manono Uta are family, kin of those who reside on Manono Tai.
