Ancient Tonga Lapita Origin Settlement of Polynesia ❤
Red write Tongan history is a man full off Bull shit marking up story to give critedd to Samoa 😂
Out of asia is a diversion,to keep the real history from being told. Lapita people sailed out of east Africa,around the coasts of Somalia,Yemen,Maldives,Sri Lanka & onto the Timor sea & papua new guinea & polynesia.a tribe of pygmy africans in the Andaman islands off india is evidence in itself of these voyagers..western science does not want the world to know that indigenous people were capable of building & engineering fleets of ships capable of navigating the globe. While western civilization was still yet to develop farming.dont be lied to.
Ancient Tongan Lapita Origin Settlement of Polynesia 😊
Thats what the fucking white man wants polynesians to believe . With this pottery lapita bullshit . We are an ancient civilization that was ahead of its time and hope 1 day it is uncovered n bought to light . Tongas at the centre of everything .
U guys need to stop with the lapita bullshit and we definitely aint have no connection whatsoever to asia ...they do not build mounds n have monarchys etc...we are a civilization much like the americas . Get it right .
The prince was a great Tongan Warrior,He saw the princess and ge forced himself on her and all her sisters and mothers and even the neighbors wife and all the women and trans on the island.
We’re is Nukuleka in Tongan 😂😂😂😂
Amen. ❤
Bula

First African Tonga not Polynesian
Yeah the Pulotu Empire of Fiji did reached NZ nd built their stonehenged like standing stone circles in Aotearoa. As you can see our Fijian names there in NZ like Moturiki, Matokana, Motutabu(island names), Waikato, Wainui, Matamata(gate), Tukutuku( information), Rogorogo(announcement), Tabutabu( eating cutteleries), mate( death), waaka/ waqa( boat or canoe), muri wai( follow the sea route, muri vanua( follow inland route)..etc.. They even reached Ausrralia and built their standing stone circles on 1 of the Abiriginal communities. Their main art symbol was the concentric circles which is nowadays used on the Wallabies rugby indigeneous jersey. That image the concentric circles can be seen on many Fijian petroglyphs like the ones found in Moturiki, Taveuni, both side of Natewa bay + a big pile of stones built in concentric circles format as found on Vatia peninsula(North Viti Levu). The Aborigines also have Fijian names still exists in their communities today, like Marika, Aria, Watiyana, Amelia to name a few..So their rulership in those days was all over the Pacific islands.. Even in the west Pacifc we have Fijian names like Pulotu, Sulawesi, Sulu(all in Indonesia), Bulu, Buli, Buru(all in Maluku islands), Anabau(East Timor), Motu tribe, Korowai tribe, Koitabu tribe, Kubuna, Palolo,Samoa( all in PNG), counting numbers from 1-10 in Fijian no difference in Anabau(East Timor), Tui Wai, Nakumilevu, Kubunavanua, Paula, Rakavono..etc( all known that they reached the Solomons), Mataso, Motu, Irikiriki, Nasara, vano dialect for go or lako known in Vanuatu..etc. Plus the countless links can be found in the Polynesians nd Micronesian islands. So we are everywhere in the Pacific. If the Sulawesi people of Indonesia were known to have reached Madagasacar island east Africa in those early days. Then no doubt the Drua mastered builder Fijians did reached Africa, Asia, America, Europe nd the Indo Europeans in the Mediterranean Sea area. They were the worlds 1st colonisers whose history was obsecured from the human history. Named by some scientists as the Lemurians because some of them were giants nd demigods. But they were mere Pulotu Empire warriors from Fiji.
Tonga and Samoa Lapita from Indonesia South East Asia through Melanesia😊 not from Fisi
@@jmjm1920 then you must be a young Tongan. Because the old Tongans know about their Pulotu origin from Tagaloa nd Maui.

BS
Evidence speaks 😊
We're not from Asia we are a dark race of people on our own tribes were not polynesian or melanesian ,, Asia was a mostly budda region for 1000 of years so we did not have one budda region in our land or clutter over 1000 years and still not to this day ,but we did make trade with Asian nations like food and working material and some spice but we're not from Asia or lapita, we have our own stores of were we come from as a people, can't let this palangi tell you your own history we already have if our own and that is the truth.
Tonga was the first of the Proto-Polynesians that would go on to travel to other islands in Western Polynesia. They brought the lapita culture with them and eventually lost the practice as materials they brought, such as red earthen clayware, etc, was not found in the South Pacific. Tongan oral traditions is also one of the most intact and consistent oral traditions throughout Polynesia. Unlike Samoan oral traditions which have a cultural practice within it to tell lies. This was explained to westerners as far back as the 1920s . Here's the reference: "BARNES, S. S., & HUNT, T. L. (2005). SĀMOA’S PRE-CONTACT CONNECTIONS IN WEST POLYNESIA AND BEYOND. The Journal of the Polynesian Society, 114(3), 227-266." “Olaf Tasi Nelson, a highly regarded leader in the Samoan Independence movement [The "Mau Independence Movement"] of the 1920s, claimed that Samoan genealogies could be very fluid depending on the waxing or waning social status of the teller or the subject. He argued that as a Samoan chief increases in honor and dignity, genealogies and oral traditions relating to that chief were often revised, but such revisions were quite justified by Samoan custom. Nelson (1925) argued that the accuracy of Samoan oral tradition was dependent on cultural factors. He offered a very practical example of how Samoan oral history can change to suit cultural needs. He told of an old man who wanted to settle a boundary dispute with his neighbor (a very delicate matter in Samoan culture). Instead of provoking a face to face confrontation that would not only be culturally inappropriate but possibly violent, he begins to tell his son invented stories of how, in days gone by, their family owned the land in question and how it was lost through some weak family link in the past. The father then allowed his son to grow up believing an altered version of oral tradition. In this way, the father gave the son a way to make a claim on that land by blaming a past member of his own family, through an invented legend, while avoiding placing blame on any living member of the other family. Direct confrontation and interpersonal conflict are this avoided. The land claim may be peacefully cemented through the altering of oral traditions. Nelson (1925) argued that Samoan legends and genealogies are altered, little by little, through situations like this. In Samoa today, there is even a Samoan Lands and Titles Court, that regularly operates outside the realm of the Western Legal System that deals the constant disputes in flawed oral traditions” This is why it's so funny to hear Samoans make up their BS stories about Tongan royal family originating from Tui Manua 🤣🤚 There was no Tui Manua empire. Manua was the safety residence of the Tui Tonga when they escaped the warring Tongan clans and rival Tongan chiefs in Tonga. This explains why Manua was never conquered during the 300 - 400 year reign of Tui Tonga over the Samoan islands. Why would you conquer your OWN house?!! 🤣
Good to see you Ana
‘Ofa atu Peti
Malo ngaue lahi 🇹🇴
Made in China ?not likely The land mass sank in the flood And pushed the migration out into the expanse , The Moai heads of Easter island attest to the Greatness of These people :situated near the equatorial and the international date line : X marks the spot . Palagi’s know exactly the identity of these people and pray to their gods that we never wake up to the deception
Another thing to point out is that The Tongan language is the closest resemblance we have to the proto-Polynesian language. In theory ofc…
Polynesia Land belong to Tonga Origin 🇹🇴
It’s the most conservative Polynesian language, not sure how much proto Polynesian retentions remain but I’ve read it’s higher than the nuclear Polynesian languages
@@CP0rings33You all know how to translettrize? K = T. Once you transletterize... the world langue is one. Example: Kapu is Taboo. K = T. P = B. U = OO. Another example: Buke,Puke = Booke = Book. 153 dialect's recored in Polynesia in 1800's. 153 dialect became Ha wa i'i Ana. HAWAIIANA pre-langue to ENGLISH. My ohana has Christian Hawaiian English Name (CHEN). How many other's have and don't know? This hapa haole boi get mahjah connection to polynesia. Mixed with everybody. 🫵😊
Tongan Language are Lapita Language 😊Origin

I don’t believe Tongans came from Taiwan because how can someone just travel and then forget all about their Taiwanese language and all of a sudden start making up Tongan language. I feel like Polynesians even Tongans were already in Polynesia before lapita. What I’m trying to say if we reallly are from Taiwan why aren’t any of us speaking or no anything about Taiwan culture
, and polynesia was un-inhabited.But we might've came from the americas.Since asia doesn't look like it.Our language sounds so similar.
Mixed of Asia and Aborigines Png blood intermarriage of Tonga Fisi Fiji 😊
then why do we have simmiler counting systems to these asians? including madascar
Because the language shares the same characteristics read a book 🤦🏿 based on DNA referencial data. Go look at the original, native Taiwanese islanders they are not what we know a Chinese
The tattoo comb found in Tonga 2700 years old made of human bones from Indonesia through Melanesian Tonga and Samoa 😊
I'm from Nukuleka. I'm your Daddy now. Lol
Lapita people came first and when the Polynesians came from America, they wiped out the Lapita people.
The Tongan when there first 'Ahu 'o Tongaliki Ancient Capital of Tonga Talikitonga 😊
There is a thing called "assimilation" 👀
They came from Samoa I don't care what the palangi said that my village in Tonga Nukuleka home of the Lapita people we came from Samoa my ancestors is Samoan just walk to Talafo'ou my grandmother Tonga Lauaki village Talafo'ou was and is a Samoan village in Tonga same as Tatakamotonga

Hahahha just accept the facts that Tonga was the first poly island to settle 🤣🤣 all poly islands knows Tui Tonga rules even you and Samoa heard of him in your own country i dont hear about Tui Manua conquered Tonga or other island stop opening your big mouth and try to tell everyone the truth Samoan people run their mouth more than the people that exists in olden days hoiii tuku fie eiki moe fg mohe mimi alofa atu uce🤣🙄
Lmao 🤣 he comes from “Kasele Vakameilalo” mhk
So if we were defined by pottery, why are we not continuing in pottery as our ancestors started? Why are we making ta'ovala and ngatu when that's not mentioned in the lapita culture. Why change all of the sudden and why haven't we changed from ngatu and ta'ovala to another form of culture trait(s)? Cause if we changing all the time then what's the next item(s) that'll keep our culture alive and sets us apart from other ..'nesians?
Yes, I am wondering the same thing...I do not know if the lapita culture is still the Tongan people. Or is this a people that happen to be there or something.
Textiles are very susceptible to damp and disintegrate rapidly if not kept dry. It is very unlikely that ancient examples would survive time, fire, flood. The patterns, however, survive to be used especially as kupesi, where skilled people pass on the traditional patterns, often repeated in later painted decoration, although that is more often influenced by more recent artistic elements. Wooden clubs etc sometimes survive, bearing the same carved designs.
so what do you think? if we are defined by asians howcome we dont eat noodles and rice? we obviously changed our culture and pottery wasnt needed anymore since we had coconut bowls
Ta'ovala Ngatu Hiapo KieTonga Tatau from Lapita origin 😊
Lapita people is the white man colonised indoctrinated bullshit we've lead to believe for many centuries? I have not seen one Lapita person or people? Show us the pictures of these people and their origins? The pottery is also a white man colonised indoctrinated bullshit... If there are Tongan similarities in Zimbabwe in terms of language etc? In Africa? what does that say? There aint fuck all anything Tongan in Taiwan or Filipino lands? Iooo sai ā ke tau ilo'i na ma'u ha taha 'o paa'i ke mimi
