  TANGALOA FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
Tangaloa is milled from senile (non-productive) coco palms (cocos nucefera) that are found by the billions in old or abandoned copra plantations.
While Tangaloa's direct experience cannot speak to the location of every copra plantation in the world, one thing we believe to be certain: there are no copra plantations in the rainforests or any old-growth forests and certainly none in the United States or any other first-world nation.
Tangaloa manufacturing and milling work is skilled and technical and represents a major departure from the use of native labor simply as unskilled workers.

 Polynesian Mythology
The belief in a pre-existent creator called Tangaloa, who lived alone in the illimitable void and made all things, was found in the western Polynesian islands of the Samoan, Tongan and Ellice (Tuvalu) Groups and on Niue, Uvea and Rotuma.
Tangaloa, some said, brooded over a vast expanse of waters while his messenger, the bird Tuli, flew over the never ending ocean searching for somewhere to rest.
Tuli complained of the lack of shade in these islands and Tangaloa gave him a vine to plant called the peopling vine, from which man was made.

 The Samoan Story of Creation
Tangaloa gives spirit and heart to animate man; Punjil breathes hard on his image and the man lives, Tangaloa, in one of his aspects, is the lord of the sea; Punjil's brother is the lord of all waters.
The god Tangaloa dwelt in the Expanse; he made all things; he alone was [there]; not any sky, not any country; he only went to and fro in the Expanse; there was also no sea, and no earth; but, at the place where he stood there grew up a rock.
And Tangaloa, the creator, said, 'Come now, go you with the Peopling-vine; take it and place it outside in the sun; leave it there to bring forth; when you see it has brought forth, tell me.' Then he took it and placed it in Salēa-au-mua, a council-ground, which is now called the Malae-of-the-sun.

 Cosmogony - LoveToKnow 1911
The son of Rangi and Papa was Tangaloa (also called Tangaroa and Taaroa), the sea-god and the father of fishes and reptiles.' In other parts of Polynesia he is the Heaven God, to whom there is no like, no second.
And if he is the sea-god, we must remember that there is a heavenly as well as an earthly ocean; hence the clouds are sometimes called Tangaloa's ships.
The egg may be either the earth with the overarching vault of heaven or (as in Egypt - but this is a later view) the sun.

 Welcome to Pacific Bliss
The legends of the islands tell two stories of its origin: In the first, the mighty Polynesian god Tangaloa went fishing and snagged his tortoise shell and whalebone fish-hook on an opening in the island of Nuapapu, located in the Vava'u Group to which we are heading.
The first Tu'i Tonga (Tongan ruler) was formed from the union of the sun god Tangaloa and a beautiful young earthling named 'Ilaheva.
When the god discovered her shell fishing on a small island near Tongatapu-the southernmost island group--he became amorous and nine months later, she gave birth to 'Aho'eitu who was to become a king in a long line of Tu'is. Tongans even date this legendary event to AD950!
