Were Tongans thousands of years ahead of the scientific world in understanding the creation of the earth?
Listen in as we tell the Tongan creation story and talk about what it might mean.

I'm half Mexican and half Tongan, yet never really identified with the latter because my knowledge of my own culture was pretty superficial due to my American upbringing. I knew I was treated better as the eldest daughter because of the fahu tradition, but I never knew where it came from. I had no idea these traditions had roots that deep! Thanks for sharing this, it's been difficult for me to find good sources of information on my culture and language, and this was a lesson in both. Much love for you guys ✌️
You my toko sis
That's cool! You've got both the ancient Mexican culture (Aztecs and Mayans) and Tongan culture to help better understand the stars 💯
Oka 👊🏾 🤎
This is why mom always told us boys that we couldn’t go or even hang out inside the girls room. If we wanted something from sisters or even wanted to tell them something, we’d have to stand outside their door to do it. I finally understand and see this is why.
Fkapaapa
Why’d you guys stop?! Please, more videos! The information and historical insight that you two provide, is just awesome!!! 🤙🏽💯
My great great grandfather was a missionary in Tonga from Scotland his name was Hamilton Hunter 🏴🇹🇴
What year did her serve there in Tonga?
I love this!!!!I've been searching for the longest for something like this to help shed light on my history and my "CULTURE" as and America born Tongan my identity has lacked a big chunk of who I am and now I no longer have to piece together who we are from second hand books that are lacking substance or filled with bias opinions pls.continue to do what y'all do!!!!shout out both of y'all!!!! hopefully one day I'll be able to contribute my fair share to the CULTURE and give back to the people and CULTURE that has allowed and made me possible!!!!
Malo aupito!!!!
Manu Pato kalekale....
Thank you for this supportive message. I hope we continue to provide some value to you.
Wow you’re saying our ancestors understood creation and evolution without having to tear apart the earth to gather data. Imagine that! western scientist/archaeologists/astronomers could learn a thing or two 😜
haha we hope so too! that;s the point of our work is to indigenize academia! malo Julia for the support and 'ofa!
Just like the Egyptians and Mayans, they understood the stars and constellations too!
Lol archaeologists dig uo shit to learn about the past mama. Astronomers don’t dig anything up lol
I’m Tahitian and this is how our creation story (rāhura’a) goes:
Before did not exist. After did not exist.
There was no duration, no time, no day, no night.
Ta'aroa, the creator god, was alone in the space that had no name of space in a blackness which was not the night.
Ta'aroa was in his shell, Rūmia.
Ta'aroa, covered in feathers, unique in the universe that had no name of universe.
Then in this nothingness a desire arose. Ta'aroa longed for something.
Something new that would break the nothingness and the nameless blackness.
He stirred in his shell which cracked, he went out.
This was the beginning. Just the beginning.
But this beginning was extraordinary because it announced everything that was to follow and everything that was to follow was extraordinary.
Ta'aroa had grown up in solitude, his solitude, in the egg that spun in space, the empty space, without sun, without stars, without land, without sea.
- Who is above? Who is below? Who is in front? Who is behind?" shouted Ta'aroa.
Of course, no one answered.
The only voice Ta'aroa could hear in the nameless darkness was his own.
Once out of his shell named Rūmia, Ta'aroa explored the void of space.
A hopeless emptiness.
He entered a new shell and stayed there until the desire for something returned.
something came back to him.
Then he decided!
With the old shell he made the dome of the sky, with the new shell he made the foundations of the earth.
He remained thus confined between the sky of the shell and the earth of the shell.
Without light, He grew, He matured again.
He was memory, thought, look, divination.
And all held already in the hollow of its hand.
All the becoming. The rocks, the stones, the coral.
coral... cliff rocks and sharp corals, shale and clay, river stones and sea pebbles, shore rocks and reef rocks, dust and sand...
Ta'aroa then created the god Tumunui, the Rock of the great foundation and father god of the foundation of the Earth.
He gave him a wife, the goddess Paparaharaha, the sacred Rock and mother goddess of all earthly things.
But, despite Ta'aroa's injunctions, the two refused to join and form a couple.
Ta'aroa, in the darkness, felt a great need for help.
This help that the two rocks could not give him for the moment.
Thus he created the god Tū.
Tū, the divine craftsman, the god of war, protection, art, magic…
Tū had so many different names, so many attributes and abilities:
Tū the red-belted, Tū the warrior, Tū the ocean-beater, Tū the father, Tū the enchanter, Tū the protector of fugitives, Tū the hands of Ta'aroa...
The time had come to let go of all this becoming.
First the rocks, the stones, the coral and then the sand, fine sand, heavy sand, shifting sand, sand dune, plain sand, river sand, as if the world were only sand!
Fortunately water made its way through the sand, a channel for fresh water, a channel for sea water.
While mountains of basalt rose from Ta'aroa's desire alone.
Tū helped him to put some order into it all, to consolidate the earth and sand by burying roots, roots that spread and reproduced.
It was then that Tumunui, the Rock of the Great Foundation, and Paparaharaha, the Sacred Rock, entered the scene.
Ta'aroa instructed them to set up the pillars, front pillars, back pillars and all sorts of other pillars.
Thus Ta'aroa, leaning on these pillars, expanded the space.
As the space expanded, the darkness expanded.
The universe was growing, the mountains and rocks were multiplying, the ocean was unfolding, the water was gushing.
And now, when Ta'aroa shouted:
- Who is above? Who is below? Who is in front? Who is behind?
In the darkness, the voices of the mountains answered him.
In the darkness, the voices of the rivers and springs answered him, the voices of the ocean answered him.
And the sand and the rocks and the stones and the pillars answered him.
Nothing could stop Ta'aroa in his desire to create!
He shook his feathers, the feathers that covered him, and the feathers landed on the mountains and the valleys, covering them with green.
But darkness reigned.
And Ta'aroa still had so many things to put in place!
Gods and goddesses and more gods and goddesses were needed...
He deposited in the ocean a speckled octopus, Tumura'ifenua (the Foundation of Heaven and Earth).
He made it grow so that it would serve to hold the sky of the shell Rūmia.
And then he brought forth Ātea, a goddess, whose spirit filled the space of the sky, she was the goddess of space and sky.
He created a husband for her, the god Papatū'oi (the Upright Rock), the god of landforms and landscapes.
They had two sons, the gods Ra'itupuanui (the Great Enchanter of the Sky), and Mātohi (the Sparkling Chisel)
It was they who draped the heavens, ten heavens to shelter all the creatures to come.
And darkness still reigned.
Ta'aroa filled the darkness of Rūmia with gods and goddesses.
They had children who in turn bore new gods.
Thus Tumunui, the Rock of the Great Foundation, and Paparaharaha, the Sacred Rock, came together to help set up the pillars of the universe.
They had a first son, the god Tefatu, Lord of the armies and of the skies.
Then another son, Oropa'a, god of foam and breakers.
A being without language who lay on the swell of the ocean.
A destructive being capable of swallowing a whole fleet of canoes.
The gods sometimes gave birth to strange creatures!
Now the universe was populated with gods and goddesses, gods and goddesses for the earth, gods and goddesses for the mountains, gods and goddesses for the fresh waters and the waters of the ocean, artisan gods, messenger gods...
But darkness still reigned and Ta'aroa continued his work.
He created Uru (The inspired one), god in charge of bailing out Ta'aroa's great canoe and inspiring him in his creative ideas.
He created Ra'a, the great, glorious and angry sun god.
He created Fai, the mother of the rays.
He created artisan gods such as Rautī (The Trainer), Rimaroa (Great Hand), Nānā (He who looks into the eyes) 'Āmara (The Shell Collector) and so many others...
He created his messengers, Tāiva (the Infidel), Horofāna'e (the Dawn Runner) and
then Ire, his beautiful and great blue shark!
Ta'aroa the insatiable, gave birth to Temuhumuhu (the Whisperer), Ruanu'u (Armed Wisdom).
Then the goddesses Re'are'a (the Joyful), Vāna'ana'a (the Eloquent), 'Ōrerorero (the Raising), and the god Tūtāhōro'a (the Generous) guardian of the paths of Mount Temehani.
He created the gods 'Ao'aomara'i'ā (Reign of Light), the founding father of fire and Tipā, the healing god.
At this time appeared the god Ruāhatu, the god of the Ocean, a dual being, half man, half spade.
He dwelt in the brackish, smelly waters.
Many were the gods.
And the darkness still reigned.
- That it ceases! one heard from all part.
- May the boredom of the long nights cease! Let the shame of the thick blackness of the endless nights, of the millions of endless nights, stop.
- What are we waiting for to lift the dome of the sky?
It was not so simple!
The dome of the sky was held up by the octopus, the huge octopus!
The messengers were running around, carrying the words of the disgruntled, the orders and counter-orders!
- I have examined the octopus, said Tumunui, the Rock of the Great Foundation ..... I do not know what to think.
Should we act? The bird calls and the breakers indicate bad omens.
- We have no choice, declared Tū, the craftsman of Ta'aroa.
We must end the long night.
I decree the death of the octopus!
Tū's words had no effect, the octopus was still alive and the darkness still reigned!
It was in this darkness that the goddess Pere was born and her brother the god Tama'ehu (the blond-red Child), her six other brothers, her six sisters.
Sons and daughters of Haumea, goddess of the warmth of the earth and of the god Tāne, god of light, beauty, nature…
Ta'aroa had reserved a great future for Pere, he had destined her to be the fire goddess of volcanoes.
Then Tū called out to Ta'aroa:
- The space of the gods is well populated, when shall we populate the space of men?
We must think about it, Ta'aroa answered evasively.
And so the universe was, the legend of creation then continues with the legend of the god Tāne.
There are other versions of the Creation story .
The story that I shared is only briefly detailed, there are many things that I didn’t mention like:
- The Times of Chaos
- The Fight and Reconciliation between the Earth and the Sky
- The Genealogy of the Gods
- The Birth of the Celestial Bodies
- The Birth of the Winds
- The Birth of Insects and the Arrival of the Spirits
And many other things
The Creation Story is the longest story of any Polynesian cultures
Ngā mihi e te tuakana mō tēnei taonga whakapapa nō ōu tūpuna mātua. Tūrou Hawaikii. Thank you for sharing your origin story from your ancestors Manoa. It is a privilege to read and honour it with respect. Mai i Tāhitinui, Tāhitiroa, Tāhitipāmaomao Tūrou Hawaikii.
Wow sounds just like the samoan version
@@ChrisEAdlay
Indeed, it’s very similar to Hāmoa
Im Tongan born in America, knowing minimal facts about where my people come from. Very interesting.... I'll be following your podcast most definitely....
We appreciate the 'ofa Wain! Malo for the support and hope you enjoy the other episodes as well.
Out here dropping knowledge! More please
Finally, the other half o the tala-o-le-vavau which Samoans have... Savai'i (Linguistics believed to be Hawaiki) at the far end of that Island is where the fafa-o-saualii(commonly called the "fafa" located near the shores) is. It is where the Samoans call the o-le-ala-i-Pulotu (the entrance to Pulotu)... (Tonga have all the missing parts of Samoa's tala-o-le-vavau and talatu'u)
Samoans for generations believed in the beginning there was only the Lagi-tuaiva (The nine skys/universes), then out came Tagaloa-fa'atutupu-nu'u (cultivator of places) who created other six gods (all name talagoa with different last names; like tagaloa-lagi (the sky).etc. This tagaloa-lagi ended up having a son name Manu'a, the first Tui Manua who rule many islands of the moana.
(timeline)#Tagaloa-faatutupu-nuu created Tagaloa-Lagi whose son was Manua (father of Pili the servent/chief whom archaeologists and linguistics believed to be the Pili who went to Havai'i/Hawai'i). Back to Pili's father, Manua then became the Tui Manu'a (ruler of Samoa who stayed in the island of Manua (Samoa's nearest island to Tonga). So from there, the lineage of Tui Atua, Tui Aana, and Tui Tonga and other alii-sili lineages of the Moana emerged...This is the Samoan account.
Yes Samoan islands(including Savai'i) are at the northwest of Tonga...But funny fact is, lol the guardian of Pulotu is a she for you guys, but for Samoans it is a he. His name was Savea-si'uleo (a half man, with a body of an eel). Savea-si'uleo is the father of Nafanua (the Samoans' war goddess) whose mother is one of the pi'ilua twins (Taema and Tilafaiga)
Actually the Very first Tui Manuʻa was a woman of the name Galeaʻi, Satiailemoaatoa came generations after her, in the old days Samoa called us Malo o le Aualuma *Government of the womens group
That would explain the majorly patriarchal part of Samoa. Where are Tonga is by an ancient matriarchal society system
@Tulouna Le Lagi shows what you DONT know if you dont even have the basic Faʻalupega of Fitiuta that states Galeaʻi as Le Tamaʻitaʻu o le Ao, O aʻu o le Manuʻa foʻi
@Tulouna Le Lagi I am a Galeaʻi through the Union of the Pulefano and Tama Sā 14 generations ago from Taʻalolomanas Eldest daughter. The Tama Sā, Toe Faʻafefiloʻi le Pulefano ma Le Ao ona o le Tui o loʻo fia toe Tūlaʻi mai... if you are part of Anoalo then you will know if not then leave it be and keep to your savaiʻi upolu ma tutuila stuffs
@Tulouna Le Lagi And FYI Satiailemoa as no where near the first Tui Manuʻa but if you claim to know then you should know who was the first
I'm so glad I stumbled across this podcast!! Really enjoyed learning more about Tongan culture 🇹🇴 looking forward to watching more episodes!!
I’m so glad I’ve found your RUclips! I love your podcasts!!! Thank you for bringing knowledge and wisdom to our Tongan communities 🙏🏼
Malo Senney! We're glad you found us too! We hope you share our videos so more ofo ur people can join in the discussion!
Thank you, love this talanoa - all the way from a Tongan in Aotearoa, trying to make the connection with the whakapapa of this beautiful whenua to my own Tongan connection and roots.
Malo - ofa lahi atu
Wow.... Thank you so much for this video... I'm lost for words honestly .. I'm a staunch NZ born Tongan.. But this video, has lit a fire within me that may not be acceptable, as you said for some tongans. Certain traits, traditions and cultural practices, I feel are irrelevant here in NZ and can clash with our interpersonal relationships and cultural identity within the communities.
Im so interested in these stories i have this need to learn them in their purest form and to pass that knowledge on to my nieces and nephews 🥰🥰🥰
We need more NZ born Tongans to know this! Malo aupito
Pulotu (& the protection of) sounds so much like a story I’m coming across, sorry I’m 17mins in but there’s native legends of a people (at the poles of the earth) that are meant to keep the secret dwelling deep within the earth where a people (giants and such) live. It sounds familiar cause it’s deep within the earth (past the deep oceans.) It’s said that in there is thee paradise and also can find lava n such. So it sounds like our creation story. Wish I knew more on both stories but yea, our stories are sounding more like other legends which leads to semi- conclusive validations !! Love your work and love for the culture! Lemme continue watching now 😂
I love moments like the one you had here. Malo e afe mai
The under lord
Wow can you share this to our people as Education ur part of ur story sounds powerful an amazing anyway if u don’t i just wanna say thank you for ur comment ofa atu have a bless day.
Malo ‘ Aupito for such a wonderful podcast.
Thank you this what we need here to educate our minds to learn about our culture thank you again please keep doing it
Great Tongan history that we only have especially the Fahu and women and mens roles. Different then the other islands
everything you two are saying is what already taught us by our elders.
Malo ongo tokoua 🙏🏾
Mooni e lau e kau leka "MORE MORE MORE"... Thanks for the insight toks, can't wait for the next burst of energy 💯💥, very intense and knowledgeable to oneself. Ofas and Jah bless 💯❤️💛💚.
My absolute understanding of the creations and the origins of mankind. Which I truly thought was also the origins of life.
Very powerful stories!🙌💯 love it thanks yal!
I never tire of listening to you guys share on our cosmologenous origins 😂 .. so grateful for the coconut firmament opening to let the people sip on some postcolonialism. Here I am today with Tala “o E Kava, Koe Ngaahi ‘Otua Tu’ufonua o Tonga and all the other Twinnies treasures.. something beyond comparable to hand to our children. You all are beautiful.
Man great stuff guys!!! Malie aupito! Malo e vahevahe. 🔥🔥🇹🇴💡
Thankyou sai ke tau ‘ilo👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😂😂😂😂😂
Love it!
Please continue to search and share our ancestors story ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Great story
Archaeologist DAVID BURLEY’S findings of Tonga being the earliest LAPITA/POLYNESIANS in south/central pasifika should be respected 😎
What does that have to do with what they are talking about?
@@increasepeace4996 they are talking facts tho dr tevita kaili researched this theory and helu mahina and taliai credited this theory which discredits the theory of taliai and mahina bro tui manu’a never ruled in Tonga because of his hikuleo is fahu over the tangaloa line and maui line that’s why Tonga never ruled Over manu’a and they will always have a soft spot for each other
I read somewhere Pulotu is Fiji? Lapita migration?
So we can *assume that the Fahu system is a pre-Christian tradition.
The balance of the kupesi design - Ta Va ....Wow
Atmosphere 😳🔥🙌🏾
yes! loving this!!!!
ʻOku ou fiefia ke fanongo ki he podcast
Yoooo toks I'm surprised you mention the dogan from Africa connection,
Or Egypt having old polynesian language randomly. Or how poly mythology connects all mythology such as Greek mayans aztecs.or Sofia and yaldaboth... and by DNA polys had a ghost gene asiatic indian arbic and african
.
Thank you so much for this! Keep it coming
I believe that the stories of the set of the twins and other stories are not myths but records of our people that is passed down since ancient times. When we have brothers like you guys or sisters dialogue these stories we are all able to decipher the truth and organize the details of our history. Our people already knew of God and Jesus Christ.. I believe that Tangaloa was a Prophet for our pacific people when you really listen to the details of the story.. before European Christians Came we was already living With God and practicing his way to govern righteously in the Land. But that’s just me 😇
Malo for doing this platform toko’s..
Before missionaries came and ruined Tonga
Malo e lelei. Thanks for sharing your vlogs. Awesome stories👍💞🙏
Great podcast. I hope you guys keep it going. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Loved this!
Malie! 👏
Beautiful
🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴
Love what you’re all doing. Mālō!
what I meant is at the beginning Samoan legends.
In Samoa pulotu is the gates to the afterlife
Pre- christian Fahu used to demand his brothers children as Liongi,to jump in to the grave and accompany the death esp,if the disease were her children and buried them alive in the believe that they are in Pulotu, accompanying the death,Today various graves dug up and withness about 4 or 5 other skeleton surrounding the main corpse,,,,life was cheap eh,Hhh
Ongo tama, ifo e talanoa, ifo ange kapau nae iai hao mo kii kumete kava . Ouaana. Ofa atu
Need more episodes
Incredible
I’ve been having meditations and past life/ancestor visuals for many years that very recently led me to Tongan culture. I first heard my name apikali and then received a download in this language I could translate
This is awesome Ulise 🙌🏽💯
DOPE 🙏🏾
I like this
Amazing 👏
I respect your story logically everything that you’re saying must be identified either by man’s science or by God because they’re the same anything else is hearsay….but it was a good story if you believe in God
Father Time, timekeeper
You seem to have something against the Samoan island people and their origins. And after so many years being living in Samoa based on our history together and ruled over the Samoan people which I believed had had a lot about to do with the lost parts of our whole history. And the reason I say that because the similarity’s of your story about your origins is so great comparing the two. I’m just saying.
There is a deep connection between Tonga and Samoa. We're more related than we think. Malo tele lava
Sorry to break it to you but tangaloa eiki resided in Tonga otu langi it’s hard to believe when your own people don’t even know the origins of tangaloa when Tonga and Fiji is older than Samoa lmao

Malo ongotama
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
“Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” There was an evening, and there was a morning: one day. Then God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, separating water from water.” So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse. And it was so. God called the expanse “sky.” Evening came and then morning: the second day. Then God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of the water he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let the earth produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.” And it was so. The earth produced vegetation: seed-bearing plants according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Evening came and then morning: the third day. Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night. They will serve as signs for seasons and for days and years. They will be lights in the expanse of the sky to provide light on the earth.” And it was so. God made the two great lights - the greater light to rule over the day and the lesser light to rule over the night - as well as the stars. God placed them in the expanse of the sky to provide light on the earth, to rule the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. Evening came and then morning: the fourth day. Then God said, “Let the water swarm with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” So God created the large sea-creatures and every living creature that moves and swarms in the water, according to their kinds. He also created every winged creature according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them: “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” Evening came and then morning: the fifth day. Then God said, “Let the earth produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that crawl, and the wildlife of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. So God made the wildlife of the earth according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that crawl on the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.” So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female. God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth.” God also said, “Look, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the surface of the entire earth and every tree whose fruit contains seed. This will be food for you, for all the wildlife of the earth, for every bird of the sky, and for every creature that crawls on the earth - everything having the breath of life in it - I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good indeed. Evening came and then morning: the sixth day.”

you talk about the Tui Manua Confederacy.
Tui manu’a didn’t rule over Tonga though
@@Cuhfromdaast Tui Manua exercised a sphere of influence on Tonga Island, not with a direct military control, but with a vassallage practice.
@@teodelo1816 😂😂😂😂 tangaloa eiki/Ali’i is from Tonga otu langi his mother was velelahi and father was taufulifanua. Taufulifanua had a older daughter then to another woman named havea hikuleo and and another son after tangaloa to another woman named maui motu’a. Taufulifanua gave Tonga to hikuleo while tangaloa and maui had to move out and find land that’s where tangaloa found manu’a. Hikuleo is fahu/vasu over tangaloa and maui offsprings that’s why tui manu’a would never rule over Tonga 🇹🇴 that’s why tonga never took over manu’a because there is a special bond between them two
@@teodelo1816 bullshit when tui manu’a was in rule of Samoa and the rest of the pacific Tonga had the kohai koau and momo offsprings of hikuleo running Tonga what influence are you talking about bro
@@Cuhfromdaast this things which I mentioned have been said from the Dr Kramer, a great schoolar of the polynesians ethnicities between 800' and 900', in particular of that samoan. This Is present in an article of the polynesian society journal.

Cameron Van Wagoner I am curious, did you get like a matapule title in Tonga? I am just curious what have you contributed to our community? I know a lot of Tongans who have worked hard for their country and that honor has never been bestowed on them. That's what is wrong with our Country.
True. The Samoan Matai system works similarly to this

Original island or original Polynesian start. From Upolu Samoa. Us Polynesian have all this story. But ACCORDING TO Archaeologists STEFAN MILO. POLYNESIAN START FROM SAMOA.
Archaeologists findings have found Tonga to be the origin of Polynesia
That is not quite true @@umutangata
the pyramids served a geo magnetic purpose
yall, pulotu is probably taiwan. as for majority of the "austronesian" or the descendants of the lapita people (which you can search up) such as tonga, samoa, cook islands, hawa'ii, there is scientific research that suggests that we are from taiwan. this website helps clear up a lot. mashable.com/article/dna-reveals-east-asian-origins-in-pacific-islands
the thing is, modern scientists are still trying to clear up whether or not we as tongans or polynesians are actually from taiwan originally, but we basically knew it all along anyways. there's some serious catching up to do on their part.
No it ain’t pulotu is in Fiji

In scripture it revrals who these pantheon of gods are, every ancient culture has its own set of gods. These are the fallen angels that came down and took wives for themselves and birthed the Nepiliim and caused the peoples to worship them. Evidence of Ancient structures all over the world from pre flood were built to suit giants but its knowledge kept hidden from the masses. Theres only 1 true God. I now know why all these tongan traditions set our people back , we can't keep our focus on God alone because of all these traditions thar are rooted deep in the old ways.
John 14:6-7 (KJV 1900): 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
something alien
Maama is Tonga, Lagi/Langi is Samoa and Pulotu is Fiji
Tangaloa alii came from otu langi in Tonga bro tangaloa eiki/alii hikuleo and maui motua are siblings

Man I think you guys got this story wrong...the heart of Polynesia is samoa. It was said that the tooth that was used to pull the island of Tonga. But Tonga and samoa are the same no difference.
I think you need to understand that all island nations have their own stories. No one ever says the heart of Polynesia is Samoa. But you guys. You can stick with that if you want. While other neighbouring islands have their own.

I think yous got the story wrong because yous can’t even name the father of tangaloa hikuleo and maui they have parents if you knew a thing of history and where is poynedians come from pulotu is Fiji
Yeah kefe I’m Tongan an part Samoan an Māori but I believe tonga is the true cradle of the South Pacific

Palangi = Pa langi = Pa sky. What does Pa mean? Grandfather sky
The Tongans who first encountered whites witnessed cannons being fired "pā pā langi," explosions in the sky. They told the samoans about these white people and gave samoans blue beads and other European things and that's how the name stuck - palagi
Wtf do you mean 'where did we come from'? We came from Tonga... duh
What they are trying to say is where the first Tongans came from to settle in tonga
Pulotu to be exact
Respect your passion but not the source of the missionaries. I can't around the fact the white man tells us our history. Doesn't anyone else see it like that ? What are that dumb we didn't know how to communicate with eachother and pass down history orally or written form ? Peace
I can't believe I wasted 7 minutes listening to some bullshit
You talk about pulotu .. is their any connection to the aincent tu'i pulotu from savaii samoa? Lol . And you talk about the "fahu" element in tonga. Does that come from the connection with samoa too?
In Hawaii it’s kanaloa .cool
