great manu'a: birthplace of ancestors and kings

[Polynesia]

It is appropriate to address the topic of the purported maritime empires of the prehistoric Tuimanua and Tui Tonga and the extent to which these influences permeated the socio-political sphere of Samoa at the time. Prior to the establishment of the great familial titles of Savaii and Upolu, the Tuimanua was the highest ranking title and office of all Samoa and many other pacific islands. The Tuimanua kings are believed to have created a confederacy of tributary chiefdoms which extended Samoan influence over various island groups which provided the Tuimanua with tributary umiti offerings those who disobeyed were tortured and killed.(Kramer I:9).
Oral tradition coupled with cultural, linguistic, and archaeological evidences suggest that Samoan influence was at one time or another felt throughout all of Samoa, Tonga, the Niuas/Niue, the Marquesas, Fiji, Rotuma, the Cook Islands, Uvea, Futuna, Tokelau, and Rurutu. Polynesian outlier groups located outside of the Polynesian triangle are also linked to ancient Samoan voyaging and cultural diffusion. This network or empire as it is sometimes called, was referred to in Samoan lore as the Manuatele (Great Manua) and the Faleselau (House of Hundreds). The latter title referred to the hundreds of islands within the Tuimanuas sphere of influence and this may not have been a gross exaggeration considering there are hundreds of islands in the Tongan and Fijian groups alone. The Great Manua seems to be mentioned as Manuatere in eastern Polynesian tradition (Kramer I:538) and as Manuka in Tongan and Cook Island legends.
Archaeological evidence suggests that these early tributary networks may have been based around the distribution of certain prestige goods or commodities such as basalt adzes (toi maa or matau) and obsidian (volcanic glass). Samoan adzes from Tutuila were anciently exported as far away as Mangaia in the Cook Islands and that basalt artifacts were being continuously imported from Tutuila to Manua for about 3,000 years (Weisler & Kirch 1384). Samoan-made stone tools had also been prehistorically distributed to Tonga and Fiji (Enright 14), Pukapuka and Rarotonga, and polities as far off as Anuta, the Solomon Islands, Tikopia, and Pohnpei (Leach 35). The Tuimanua kings grew powerful by controlling and regulating interisland exchange networks from the commercial hub they established on the island of Ofu (Childress 152) and their empire was probably more expansive in scope than that of the later Tui Tongas.
The Tuimanua confederacy had similarly taken the place of an even earlier maritime chiefdom which was ruled by the Tui Pulotu kings of Fiji (Mhina 2004). It is very likely that the growing autonomy of the Tongan and Samoan constituencies led to the demise of the Tui Pulotu federation and similar uprisings probably caused the weakening of the Tuimanuas influence as well. The decline of Manuatele allowed for greater self-determination throughout the southwestern Pacific and it seems the Tui Tonga dynasty makes its first appearance during this period.
Recorded legends and genealogies from both Samoa and Tonga indicate that the first Tui Tonga, named Ahoeitu, was a deified Samoan chief most likely the son of a Samoan god named Tangaloa (Mhina 1990:39).
Gilbertese genesis legends claim initial colonization from Samoa and tell of regular voyaging between Samoa and the Kiribati islands (Kirion & Karaiti 12); Samoan canoes introduced Samoan traits into prehistoric Anuta (Feinberg 29); The dialects of Tikopia, Pukapuka, Uvea, Tuvalu, Nukuoro, Kapingamarangi, Nukumanu, and Sikaina are all considered Samoic languages because they originated from or have heavily borrowed from Samoan in prehistory (Irwin 188, Kirch 1984:27).

This seems like interesting history of our people. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to breaking this down even further.

Can anyone shed some light as to why the title "Tuimanu'a" does not exist anymore. Is it because there are no direct descendents or was there any other reason??..

This is a very intriguing and fascinating topic. It'll be so neat to learn more about this important part of our history.

Malo lava, Polynesian… well put. If I may! Ahemm…..

A.D.450: First actual record of Polynesia in Fiji. Apparently the people have reached Tonga. Possibly they had communicated with the Samoans.

A.D.575: Tonga-Fijians occupied the coasts of Savaii and Upolu for 25 generations.

A.D.1000-1200: The influence of the Tuimanu'a (King of the Manu'a group) in Upolu and Savaii had long been extinct. Aana and Atua Districts had risen into prominence.

A.D.1200: The Tongans had power over Samoa, excluding Manu'a, possessing the four great royal titles - Tuiaana, Tuiatua, Gatoaitele and Tamasoaalii.

A.D.1600: Tongans expelled from Samoa, led by the Malietoa family.

In the islands of Savaii, Upolu and Tutuila are large defense walls known as Pa-Tonga (Tongan-Walls). They are the lasting signs of slavery and sufferings under the Tongan yoke.

Large boulders weighing several tons, that modern equipment could hardly lift nowadays, were used in building the walls for forts which stretch long distances over hills and valleys. In their last attempt to defeat the Tongans, the Malietoa family planned the successful invasion of Upolu.

In the eastern end of the island the historical war started. In remembrance of a bloody battle there, a place was named Malaela (Basking Ground). It is said that the captives were tied and placed in the blazing sun the whole day. Originally the village was named Malae-faala.

The battle continued westward around the windward side of the island. The Tongans were again severely beaten in Solosolo. The original name of the village, "Solosolo-ga-toto" (Wiping of Blood) is suggestive of a very bloody battle fought there.

Solosolo is now one of the very prominent villages of the Atua District. When the Malietoas reached the westernmost end of the island, the Tongans were said to have been fighting from the sea. Continued war being hopeless for the Tongans, they decided to surrender.

From the stern of the Tongan war-canoe their leader addressed the victorious Samoan warriors as follows:

"Ua malie toa! Ua malie tau! Ou te le toe sau i le auliuli tau. Ae o le a ou sau i le auliuli folau." ("Congratulations, thou hero! I am pleased with your fighting! I shall return to Samoa no more as a warrior but I will come back as your guest") This historic utterance, used as terms for an armistice by the Tongans, originated the name "Malietoa" which was properly given to the most popular king of Samoa, who liberated them from several generations of bondage.

The brief but meaningful statement by the defeated Tongan warrior was made very popular for almost five centuries and is quoted frequently by famed orators on reconciliations and in congratulatory speeches.

The grotesque and gruesome past has long been buried. Friendly relations with the Tongans have been undisturbed since the decisive battle won for Samoa by the Malietoas. The late Queen, Her Majesty Salote Tubou, D.B.E., of Tonga, has had occasion to entertain the kings of Samoa as her guests in Nuku'alofa (Village of Love), her home. Likewise have Malietoa, Tamasese and Mataafa on several occasions received queen Salote in Samoa during her official visits.

Morning ProudHamo and everyone i know you!

This is really intersting indeed i love to knowmmore about the History of Samoan people. Further south of Kyushu are Islands known as Okinawa and the indeginous people from these Islands look very Polynesian i many Japanese people can be mistaken for Samoan i am not kidding! I wonder if Samoan people reached Okinawa? But the above readings about Tui Manua and the empire is very interesting indeed thank you!!

THE WEBSITE YOU GOT THIS TIME LINE INFORMATION FROM, THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT IS TONGAN...... ALOT OF THE INFORMATION ON THAT WEBSITE IS FALSE INFORMATION ALMOST FAVORING TONGANS so I never look at that website.........

Tu'i Manu'a Elisala was the last Tu'i Manu'a title holder.... When Tutuila and Manu'a became US Territory the title was so sacred and ancient that when Tu'i Manu'a Elisala died he took the title to his grave.......

The timelines and advocated "events" are questionable. Some are basically in my opinion patchwork dates that are mere conjectures. Another thing Sau Laia, how did you come by the highly erroneous assumption that Tonga held OUR Royal Papa....TUIATUA,TUIA'ANA,GATO' AITELE and TAMASOALI'I in hand? They never did, and THAT NEVER happened. Its amusing that Tala'ife'i'i...Talakaife'iki is relegated to "warrior" status. When he descended from the Tuitonga line....and by the way His being expelled /ousted out may have been utterly disappointing...so disappointing in fact that somehow he is conviniently left out of Tongan history or oral traditions.
The pa tonga that you refer to are actually called PA TAUA, entrenchments and defense fortifications against the Tongans....and some of them have names. But then what you neglect to think about is that Samoans also build walled fortifications to distinguish boundary lines within villages and districts, and not all are battle fortifications as you would like to believe. Alot of what is mentioned in the timeline is basically throwing in some of Percy's work, even a bit of Buck and an attempt at rewriting Samoan history. I noticed a bit of the statement of "fighting from the seaward side" as coming from a version or story on Ulualofaiga. What is more amazing is that THAT same Ulualofaiga living during Tamalelagi's time is projected to still alive by King Fonoti's time....wow that is utterly ridiculous!

Ive just read thru the first link and was interested to read that Tui Manu`a died with his title and did not pass it down maybe he knew something would happen? This is so interesting. Manua people speak with a "D" sound. i have 2 aunties who speak like that its quite nice listening to thm speak in that sound.
Manu`a looks so beautiful to visit.
