High Chief
He was then given the title "Fofogaoali'i" when he was honored by the chiefs of American Samoa. One of the bestowers of the title was High Chief and Senator Rapi Sotoa. He honored him the title in recognition and appreciation of Napoleon's services to his country. Translated, the title "Fofogaoali'i" means the "mouth of or speaker for the chiefs." Although very proud of the title, Napoleon quipped that he was not very keen of the title, for it stated that it was the only title without any lands or properties.
On June 29, 1969, Napoleon was given the family title, "Tuiteleleapaga" after the death of his great great grandfather, Natagiala Tuiteleleapaga.
