Tonga was united into a Polynesian kingdom in 1845 by the ambitious young warrior, strategist, and orator Taufa'ahau.
Tonga is the only monarchy in the Pacific (apart from Commonwealth realms such as Australia and New Zealand), and the constitutionally mandated power of the Tongan monarchs is greater than that of the Commonwealth monarchs.
Tonga's economy is characterized by a large nonmonetary sector and a heavy dependence on remittances from the half of the country's population that lives abroad, chiefly in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.

As mentioned previously, the are of Fiji, Tonga, Samoa is known as Hawaiki-lalo, meaning the 'Southern Hawa-iki', or more precisely the 'Small Hawa which lies Southerly'.
Insuring that this is indeed part of the Polynesian family connection we have further proof that Samoa, one of the islands in the Samoan group, translates into the 'Sacred breath of the Cock', the jungle fowl or moa being the traditional totem of Pimoe's tribe and clan.

 Follow the sun, young man
In the proximity of the Tonga island-chain and islands east of Fiji, the Polynesians positioned reinforced settlements.
The word "malie" is also the word for shark and, I think, also means "the best." When the Tongans ended their occupation of Samoa, they called the Samoan warrior who lead the revolt against them "Malie Toa," reminiscent of some past tradition of acknowledging a shared comradeship, a champion in a competition.
"Being now willing that Tonga should also be inhabited by intelligent beings, he commanded his two sons thus: Go, and take with you your wifes, and dwell in the world at Tonga: divide the land into two portions, and dwell separately from each other.

He hides and surprises To-a-hiti (Too-hiti-mataroa) and Ta-va‘a, the leading artisans among the canoe-building spirits of the forest, makes them a handsome present of food, and the next morning a complete war canoe stands at his door.
