legend of Kava Tonga

 The story that our teacher showed was very sad because of what the dad and the mother had to do to there only daughter. They had to kill there daughter just to feed there king that arrived o there island and asked for food. But the thing was the island they were standing on couldn't produce anything like food or drinks, so for food they sacrificed there only daughter just to feed the king but he didn't eat it and the king said that he respects them for it.

For me i think that this is very sad and depressing and it wasn't the right decision. They could have explain to the king and his men that they could not make food for them because this island could not produce any food or water. I also think that he could ave just gone to fish in the sea to make things not as bad as they ended up.

 

Ko e founga hono ma'u'e Tonga a hono hingoa

This morning our teacher Mrs Tele'a told us a story of Maui and how Tongo got it's name. The stroy started with Maui, he went to and old man name Tongataumata'u( Tonga the expert fisherman). he sold very nice hooks and offered one to Maui, but Maui didn't choose any of them. He chose the old hook with scratches and dead leave and cod webs on  it. Maui asked "what can i give you" Tongataumata'u was thinking. Then he got it he asked"when you fish up and island,name it after me", so when Maui fished up and island he named it Tonga.

Tongan foods

Malo e lelei  today I am going to talk about and share with you one thing about the Tonagn culture.

The traditional diet of the Tongan people consisted mostly of taro, yams, bananas, coconuts and of course seafood - the staple of any island nation. As Westerners began to arrive in the 19th and early 20th centuries, so too did new foods.

The reason why they have those kinds of foods is because those foods are from the Tongan island and the Tongan people love their island.
