What do people in Tonga do?

Answer 1

Anything you want. But in Tonga they have a specific way of showing respect. What puts Tongans apart is that RESPECT for tongans is a big thing. For tongans there are different catergories of respect. There are rules in Tonga that you must obey & by sticking to them, you would be fine. And when you stick to them you shall do whatever you want in Tonga. BUT, if you give one wrong move & DISRESPECT someone, thats when everybody will come running after you with a weapon. So you doing whatever you want depends on what you do & how you act.

Answer 2

It depends on the aim of your question because it's so vague and very general.

Just like other countries, the citizens of the nation work to care and provide for their families, and ultimately to survive. Work can include selling handmade crafts (stuff for ta'olunga costumes), homemade baked goods ("keke"- cake, "otai"- fruit juice, usually watermelon) and homegrown fruits/vegetables at the market. Other will work as fishermen, in the city of Nuku'alofa as Accountants for different businesses or managing their own shops, and as teachers in schools across the islands. Some mothers stay home and care for their younger children, kids go to school and men go to work. Some people may have the honoring privilege to work for the royal family or at the royal palace.

Other than that, it's fair enough to say that Tonga is like other Polynesian countries as well. Although it has successfully ruled other islands, and then lost a war (losing reign in other islands), it has a militant past- just like other islands such as Hawaii, New Zealand and Fiji. Despite their motives in the wars, it is possible for all beautiful islands of Polynesia to be civil towards one another; not to forget the past, but to have enough respect for one another to live in a way, opposite to our ancestors- in peace and forgiveness.
