 | | In the mythology of Ata, one of the Tongan islands, Laufakanaa is the God of inds. |
| | The skipper of all Tongan vessels would pray to Laufakanaa for favourable winds and would even visit Ata with offerings of bread and coconut oil to appease the god's stormy temper. |
| | Laufakanaa brought the banana tree from heaven and taught the Tongans the art of fishing with a net and of making the nets. |
