Tonga, officially the Kingdom of Tonga, (Tongan for "south"), is an independent archipelago in the southern Pacific Ocean. It lies about a third of the way between New Zealand and Hawaii, south of Samoa and east of Fiji.

The islands are also known as the Friendly Islands, the name given by Captain Cook because of the friendly reception he received (getting food and water) . He happened to arrive at the time of ?inasi festival, the yearly donation of the first fruits to the Tu?i Tonga. According to the writer William Mariner, in reality the chiefs had wanted to kill Cook, but had been unable to agree on a plan. Some Tongans regard this allegation by Mariner as slander.
