Tongan Seal

First inhabited 2,500 years ago by the Lapita civilization, Tonga's Polynesian settlers gradually evolved a distinct and strong ethnic identity, language, and culture as the Tongan people. They were quick to establish a powerful footing across the South Pacific: the Tuʻi Tonga Empire. Tuʻi Tonga became renowned for its economic, ethnic and cultural influence over the Pacific which remained strong even after the Samoan revolution of the 13th c. and Europeans' discovery of the islands in 1616.
