Excerpt from The Journal of the Polynesian Society, 1899, Vol. 8 We know so little of Tongan history that nothing of great importance can be adduced in support of the supposit1on that at this time 450) the group was first peopled. And yet, the few notices there are on the subject, outside the Rarotonga h1story, seem to indicate that this must have been about the time of the colonization of Tonga-tapu, and that it was this maori-rarotongan people who were found in possession when a later migration from Samoa took place. It is certain, however, that in the time of Tu-tarangi's grand son, or great-grandson, that the maori-rarotongan branch of the race was living in Tonga-tapu, Vavau and Haapai.
