TRUTH about SAMOA , TAHITI & HAWAII that is making HISTORIANS uneasy right NOW ! Peter Maleko AhChing Leiataua.
The named factual EDUCATION website ' Polynesian Origins & Migrations by Peter Maleko AhChing Leiataua, ' has been taken down before by powerful people on the internet. It is making non-Samoans & other polynesians uneasy right now, but SORRY, its the TRUTH about SAMOA ( Upolu & Savai'i ), TAHITI ( Uporu & Havai'i ) & HAWAI'I ( Upolu in Hawai'i - big island & Hamoa {Samoa}, Maui).
Upolu point on big island of Hawai'i is the birthplace of King Kamehameha the 1st in Kohala. King Kamehameha of Kohala at Upolu point, Hawai'i is of lineage to Havai'i now called Raiatea,Tahiti whose great chiefs originated from Savai'i, Samoa from the lineages of the Great Tupua I'amafana, Lei'ataua Tonumaipe'a Tamafaiga, Mata'afa & the Malietoa which are the lineages of Samoa's ancient KINGS.

Samoans, Tahitians, & Hawaiians these are your factual places in history.
The original Polynesians who settled these Polynesian islands were the children of Savai'i, SAMOA 1500BC --> Marquesas 100AD & Tahiti 300AD and then settled Hawai'i in 500AD. Upon return voyages from Eastern Polynesia to Western Polynesia these same Polynesians settled Aotearoa 800AD ( New Zealand ). A great accomplishment for the Samoan children of Savai'i, Samoa. These ocean travels & great distances were rivaled only by the Vikings of old.
These Pacific island connections have not been made in any one single article of the past, maybe due to alienation, separation of nations, and the DIVIDE & CONQUER mentality of colonizing governments onto these 3 well connected Polynesian islands of SAMOA, TAHITI & HAWAII. Let the truth be exclaimed & proclaimed as it is the truth on Savai'i, Samoa to Havai'i, Tahiti & to the big island of Hawai'i of the State of Hawai'i.
SAMOA, O LOU ANAMUA LE NA, O LOU FANAU E A'OA'OINA O 'OU KUPU MA KAMA'ALII I KANAKA O LE MOTU MA LE VASA. ALO OU FOE SAMOA, MA TAPU'AI MAI PEA OE, MO LE AKAMAI O LE FANAU I NEI HAWAI'I.
Imua & Muamua le Atua.
