Tonga
The Kingdom of Tonga (
Tongan for "south") is an independent
archipelago in the southern
Pacific Ocean. It lies about a third of the way between
New Zealand and
Hawaii, south of
Samoa and east of
Fiji. The islands are also known as the Friendly Islands, the name given by
Captain Cook because of the friendly reception he received. He happened to arrive at the time of inasi festival, the yearly donation of the first fruits to the
Tui Tonga and was invited to the festivities. According to the writer
William Mariner, in reality the chiefs had wanted to kill Cook during the gathering, but had been unable to agree on a plan.
