The monument stands since the 13th century, when the 11th king Tu'i Tonga Tu'itatui built it on one of Tonga beautiful sites, as a gate to the royal palace of Heketa, near Niutoua village, at the east of Nuku'alofa, the capital city of the beautiful Tonga Islands.

Useful Resources:

Using information gleaned from prehistoric specimens, Steadman reconstructs the birdlife of tropical Pacific islands as it existed before the arrival of humans and in so doing corrects the assumption that small, remote islands were unable to support rich assemblages of plants and animals.

Easter Island, for example, though devoid of wildlife today, was the world’s richest seabird habitat before Polynesians arrived more than a millennium ago.

The forests of less isolated islands in the Pacific likewise teemed with megapodes, rails, pigeons, parrots, kingfishers, and songbirds at first human contact.

Language, Space, and Social Relationships: A Foundational Cultural Model in Polynesia (Language Culture and Cognition) - This is a study of the relationship between language and thought, and how this apparently differs between cultures and social groups, is a rapidly expanding area of enquiry. This source discusses the relationship between language and the mental organisation of knowledge, based on the results of a fieldwork project carried out in the Kingdom of Tonga in Polynesia.

The Evolution of the Polynesian Chiefdoms (New Studies in Archaeology) - This source is about an archaeological perspective on the elaborate system of chiefdoms found in the islands of Polynesia. The growth and development of complex social and political systems in this region have long interested anthropologists and ethnographers.

The islands have rich sources of archaeological data through which the author combines this fresh archaeological data with comparative ethnographic and linguistic materials to present an innovative and perceptive account of the processes of culture change in the islands over three millennia.
