Abstract:
This article unfolds intergenerational sustainability and relational rhythms through Tongan language and culture and the interrelationships between older and younger Tongan people and between Tongans and non-Tongans in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). It also unpacks the interconnected ways in which Tongans as Indigenous people honour the inseparability and sensibilities of knowing–seeing–feeling–doing–being–becoming Tongan across tā–vā (time–space) in language and cultural realities, and their implications on Tongan people’s success in life. I argue that there is still space to strengthen Tongan la

Abstract:
People have been puzzled by the problem of volcanic eruptions since ancient times. Because volcanic eruptions are difficult to predict accurately, if people can't take some precautions in advance, sometimes volcanic eruptions will cause great injuries and deaths and hazards. In this context, this review selects the Tonga Volcano as the research object, summarizes the hazards during the eruption of the volcano and the symptom before the eruption, in order to get inspiration for predicting volcanic eruptions.

Abstract:
Aspects of the Auckland Tongan community's remittance patterns in 1984 are identified and explained. It is argued that the attitudes of Tongan people regarding gender differences contribute to a distinctive feature of the group's remittance behavior and contemporary obligations also influenced the amount of remittances and the percentage of income remitted. Employment and residence status, length of stay in New Zealand and dependents in Tonga are other explanations for attitudes to remittances. Most migrants send substantial sums, especially recent migrants, without secure residence status in

This article sets out to examine the use of allusion in selected Tonga work songs. Whereas there is extensive and impressive documentation about the Tonga people and their culture, their history, and even their literature, by authors like Elizabeth Colson, there is hardly any documentation on the use of allusion and its social implications in Tonga work songs. Therefore, this study gives utter attention to one poetic element – the allusion, in the Tonga work songs and argues that allusion reflects the Tonga people’s social and economic activities through work songs.

Abstract:
Dioscorea is a genus comprising over 600 species, many of which possess edible tubers that are commonly referred to as yams. While Dioscorea is a significant crop across the globe, it holds a unique cultural significance to the people of Tonga in western Polynesia. Presently, Dioscorea is known for its essential role in festivals and ceremonies, as well as for its nutritional contributions to Tongan diets. To understand and to assess the significance of Dioscorea in the distant past, however, archeologists rely on plant residues (e.g., starch granules) preserved on ancient tools. This study pr

The number of people displaced was 57, 000 and they were not adequately resettled, rehabilitated and compensated. The GTDP was created in 1996 with the main objective to mitigate the negative impacts that the GT people have endured from the time they were displaced to date. A

The small island group was settled by Polynesians nearly 3,500 years ago. Despite several attempts, the islands were never successfully colonized by Europeans, though Tonga became a British protectorate in 1900. In 1970, Tonga acquired independence. The monarchy, established in 1875, still governs; Tonga remains the only monarchy in the Pacific. Approximately 108,000 people live on the islands.
