The legend of Kava Tonga

 This is the legend of Kava Tonga. So there was this couple they only had one daughter. The couple and the daughter were growing a tree named Kava. Then these men and a king arrived only to look for some food. The leader of the men was looking for some food then he found the couple. The father Fefanga told the leader of the men that the island was barren which means it can’t grow food. But the father gladly said that he will prepare a meal for the king. But when he went to collect the food he saw the king sleeping on the only tree that can produce food. He couldn’t disturb the king so he was hopeless. But then the dad sacrificed his daughter for the king. The king didn’t want to eat the daughter so he said “don’t disturb the girls grave” then when the old couple came back they saw two plants one on her feet the other on her head.

after watching a video about the legend it was heart breaking but a wonderful ending.

Ko e founga hono ma’u’e Tonga a hono hingoā

 Ok so this is the story of how Tonga got its name. The story writer was David Riley. Maui came to Samoan and found this fisherman his name was tongataumāta'u. The fisherman offered many great hooks to Maui. But Maui chosed this old hook surrounded with spider webs. Maui said "How could i pay you" and the fisherman said "When you fish up a island name it after me" Time passed and Maui fished up a island. Then he named it Tonga just like he promised. 

The Tongan Tapa Cloths/Ngatu

 Malo e lelei this is a fact about the Tongan culture.

Why is the Tongan tapa cloth valued? The reason why the Tongan tapa cloth is valued is because it's one of Tongan's most important possessions. The Tongan tapa cloth was passed down from generation to generation. Before money was introduced to the Tongan people the tapa cloth was similar to the value of money in the olden days. And the men plant trees which the ngatu or tapa cloths are made out of.
