Around the year 1200 AD, the last Tongan king to rule Samoa was Tu'i Talakaifaiki (Tui Tala'aifei'i in Samoan). He was a ruthless and cruel king, and put the Samoan people at the time through slavery and affliction.. causing them to fortify structures with walls called, pa Tonga or pa toga (tongan walls) wherever he saw fit. The samoans were tired of the type of life they were living. All the previous Tongan kings prior to this king ruled ethically. With justice and respect from as far back as 'Ahoeitu. Finally, two Tuamasaga warriors named, Fata and Tuna rose up in rebellion against the Tongan king and his subjects, driving them from their land with strength and skill with the club and the spear. As the king sailed off he declared.. "Ua malie toa, ua malie tau!" (Brave warriors, splendidly fought). Placed upon these two warriors were the Title "Malietoa." So there it is, samoans fought for their independence, and the tongans fought to maintain their rule. On a personal note, tongans and samoans began as one. Let us not let the faults of our ancestors separate us from the unity and respect that we now have for one another. Tofa, pea mou nofo ae!
