    these women look like how amazons would look in real life. Each of them look like they could give you at least 6 healthy and happy children . Very strong genetics.Naturally beautiful like flowers , trees and sea. I wish them good health and to be each day as happy as they are when they sing.

    Love to all my Maori brothers and sisters. The Tongan and Maori are not separated by land but connected by the sea. And the Tongan is tied to the Maori by blood. Ofa lahi atu ki Aotealoa hono kotoa!!! 🇹🇴❤️🇳🇿

    • @queenkatrina9481
      @queenkatrina9481 Před 6 lety +7

      Actually the reason why they put it on those women is because in Tongan views the two performers on the ends of the front row(in females and males) are usually high ranked so they thought it was the same.

    No disrespect but it is Makau Ariki Atawhai, not Queen. That title is exclusively used by one person, the head of the Kiingitanga, and so far only used by the late Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu. TRH is not a title used in the Kiingitanga. Ariki Tamaroa Whatumoana is the title granted to the mataamua by Kiingi Tuheitia. The Kings's daughter Ngawai Hono i te po doesn't use a title. However she could by birthright use the title Ariki Tapairu, the feminine of her brothers title, previously used by her late Grandmother.
