- The Tuʻi Tonga Empire, or Tongan Empire, are descriptions sometimes given to Tongan expansionism and projected hegemony in Oceania which began around 950 CE, reaching its peak during the period 1200-1500.
It was centred in Tonga on the island of Tongatapu, with its capital at Muʻa. Modern researchers and cultural experts attest to widespread Tongan influence, evidence of transoceanic trade and exchange of material and non-material cultural artefacts.
History
Beginning of Tongan expansionism
With the decline of Samoa's Tui Manu'a maritime empire, a new empire rose from the South. In 950 AD, the first Tu'i Tonga 'Aho'eitu started to expand his rule outside of Tonga. According to leading Tongan scholars, including Dr. 'Okusitino Mahina, the Tongan and Samoan oral traditions indicate that the first Tu'i Tonga was the son of their god Tangaloa. As the ancestral homeland of the Tu'i Tonga dynasty and the abode of deities such as Tagaloa 'Eitumatupu'a, Tonga Fusifonua, and Tavatavaimanuka, the Manu'a islands of Samoa were considered sacred by the early Tongan kings. By the time of the 10th Tu’i Tonga Momo, and his successor, Tuʻitātui, the Tu'i Tonga's empire had grown to include much of the former domains of the Tui Fiti and Tui Manu'a, with the Manu'a group as the only exception. To better govern the large territory, the Tu’i Tonga had their throne moved by the lagoon at Lapaha, Tongatapu. The influence of the Tu’i Tonga was renowned throughout the Pacific, and many of the neighbouring islands participated in the widespread trade of resources and new ideas.
Ancient Tongans and Samoans we're one people, you young people talk too much
@@originalclaymoreboy728 oh gummon man
@@originalclaymoreboy728 how do you know that?🤷♂️ 😋
@@originalclaymoreboy728old Tongan language is basically Samoan. It's not hard research, The Tongan royal family (kanokupolu line)are proud of their heritage
and are related to the Malietoa line.
The two islands go back further than that,
Just research the Tongan myth about how Tonga was created.

Samoans and their fairytales. "maybe if i keep writing it on CZcams, it might come true" 🤞🤣 tongans have ruled samoa for hundreds of years but samoa has NEVER ruled tonga. In fact, you guys have been colonised more than once. Facts. Your great Malietoa title comes from us. Kefe
Manuka originally from Fisi Namuka which is Nomuka in Ha'apai and Manuka in Tongatapu brought to Ha'amoa Hahake by Ha'a Maui Tonga Fusifonua and Tavatava o Manuka Title so When was Satiailemoa the first Tuimanuka with 40 Chiefs Titles started and 54 Supreme TuiTonga Titles Timeline 🤔
Samoa was never ruled by one person. Salamasina was the closest. She ruled 4 of the five major clans in Samoa. So how would the Tuimanua ever controlled the Pacific?
Wow! You guys refuse to just give it up hey!
It obvious from this exchange that clearly stated one is ignorant of the truth. It is no use trying to explain things to someone who is anti. Maybe best for old people who knew the ancestry history to face her and she can argue with them, because she seemed to know more than anyone else in the Pacific the Ancient history of the two islands. I would love her come face to face with old Tongans and Samoans who know more than us fiapoko young people of today.

@thefireman6738 and Tonga still has a King and Samoan ruled by a head of state (no tuimanua nonsense) whose title (Malie toa) was given by a Tongan King. You funny guy
@@kakalutangitangi9869 in samoa everyone is a king🤣🤣
This fake news😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There were no rulers or Empire before Tuitonga 😂😂😂😂😂
The only rulers before Tuitonga were the god clan Tangaloa Rulers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just do the math....they say Society islands was colonized by Samoa in 1025AD 😂😂😂😂 that's the era of ruling Tangaloa 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Around the time before Tuitonga much of Polynesia wasn't settled 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Tulouna Le Lagi 😂😂😂😂
Do you really believe that Pulotu existed 40 generations from 1909?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
TuiManua Elisara passed in 1909
You know very well Pulotu became the place we can only return to after we die😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your sources failed to notice particular details in oral traditions that discredit and debunk TuiManua Empire 😂😂😂

Manu'a is referred to as Maama(Earth)
Lu fleeing Tagaloa Lagi to Maama(earth) he finds islands naming it Samoa honoring his uncle Moa😂😂😂😂 Samoa is Maama (Earth) not Langi 😂😂😂
Manu'a has no mounds elevated to the Langi where Tangaloa resided 😂😂😂😂 Fitiuta settlement was dated earliest 1000AD
Ahoeitu's story ...he doesnt jump in a canoe to go find his father in supposedly Manu'a Samoa 😂😂😂😂😂 the story has it that he climbs a toa tree....and stories preserved in Heliaki( metaphoric, symbolic poetry) the means Langi home of Tangaloa is accessed in Tonga...it means that Langi of Tangaloa is rooted in Tonga😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You should copy my comment and forward it to your sources😂😂😂

@Tulouna Le Lagi uce your fairytale of Tuipulotu Empire and TuiManua Empire 😂😂😂😂 than when did the Tangaloa rulers rule Polynesia 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your TuiManua Empire doesn't align with the migration to eastern Polynesia 😂😂😂😂 1025AD to 1200AD....that's the period of the peak of Tuitonga empire..... so the islands of which supposedly collected umiti from didn't even exist😂😂😂 stretched and felt throughout an imaginary empire 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing in Manu'a's landscape says it was an empire😂😂😂😂
@Anna Tagi he’s said to me on another video the royal tombs built in Tonga were built long after aho eitu 😂😂 that was he argument againts that
@Anna Tagi Still MMT but Tonga was definitely colonized, Germans and now the Chinese. Tongan sellouts like the current king and George Tupou put up no fight
@Anna Tagi He’s like a figurehead, a puppet for the colonizers in power. He’s selling us out to China, that’s why the drug problem is getting worse because the meth is coming from China

@@jmjm1920 There is a village called Manuka in Tongatapu but the Manuka from Tongan legends refers to Manu'a. The fish hook story that Maui received was from Manu'a not Manuka. The fact you can't tell the difference is laughable 🤣

I AM NOT COMMENTING THIS BECAUSE IM SAMOAN⚠️⚠️⚠️. I 💯 believe that all polynesian came from Samoans or Tu'i Manu'a empire. I don't care which empire is bigger, I care where do most polynesian originate from. But I will list out summaries and links below:
🇹🇴Tonga:According to Samoan oral tradition, Tonga was once under the sway of the Tui Manu'a and paid tribute to the chiefs of Samoa. In the tenth century this dominance was reversed, the Tui Manu'a were supplanted by the Tuʻi Tonga Empire, and Samoa's chiefs paid tribute to Tonga. In the thirteenth century Talakaifaiki brought Samoa under his direct control, and established a capital at Safotu on the island of Savaiʻi. He was later driven out by the progenitors of the Malietoa dynasty.Despite this successful rebellion intermarriages between Tongan and Samoan chiefly lines continued, and Ngata, the progenitor of the current Tonga royal dynasty, the Tuʻi Kanokupolu, was of Samoan descent.According to Samoan legend, Aso'aitu (Aho’eitu in Samoan) was the first Tu’i Tonga (ruler of the south) and son of a deified Samoan high chief, Tangaloa ‘Eitumâtupu’a, and whose mother was a Tongan woman, Va’epopua, of great noble birth. This double origin, entitled the Tu’i Tonga to hold both divine and secular offices. For Samoa in particular, it was especially important to have these genealogical links in order for one's rule to be legitimized. This is seen again in later centuries during Queen Salamasina's time, as she was descended from this same line of both Samoan and Tongan aristocracy. In principle, the close cultural and historical interlinkages between Fiji, Samoa and Tonga were essentially elitist, involving the intermarriage between regional aristocratic families.
🇼🇫 Uvea Mo Futuna (Wallis And Futuna:Oral tradition records rich connections with the Samoans, whose arrival was peaceful. The sovereigns of the kingdom of Alo would thus come from Samoa (lineage of Fakavelikele). Similarities in constructions were also observed between the two islands. There is no suspect of the connection between Uvean (Wallisan) and Samoan I could find.
🇳🇺Niue:Polynesians from Samoa settled Niue around 900 AD. Further settlers arrived from Tonga in the 16th century.
🇹🇰 Tokelau:Archaeological evidence indicates that the atolls of Tokelau - Atafu, Nukunonu, and Fakaofo - were settled about 1,000 years ago from Samoa.

According to Tongan History Tui Manua didn't make the cut 😂😂😂 he don't exist my guy
Stop talking ki’o usi
Sorry Tongans "Tui" is a Fijian title. You're just a provincial empire brass just like Samoa and their "Tui".
straight from the horses mouth , admit tongans We are SAMOA....
Haha Oldest Tatau instrument found in the Ancient fortress village of Pea Tongatapu 2700 years old 700BC made of Human bones 😊
Nope. I’m Tongan here. I don’t think Tongans came from Samoa and I don’t think Samoa was part of Tonga. I honestly think we were all one nation once upon a time. And just happen to be very similar with one another. You know how in school - there are 7 continents in the world? Coz that’s what the white man tells us right? Well how about that there was an 8th - look up the Island of Mū. It’s hard to find. Well that’s because it’s hard to find on purpose since it’s the closest to the truth. There were ancient texts from other nations to acclaim this. Trust me. Once you go down the rabbit hole - it all somewhat makes sense…
