Q & A Episode 3 with special guest Dr. Tēvita O. Ka'ili. In this episode, Dr. Ka'ili elaborates on the usage of si'oto 'ofa in past history and also the hongi which in Tongan is called fekita. I also answer questions about the opening song (the me'etu'upaki chant), clothing in ancient Tonga, the Tongan concept of tauhi tu'i and the spirit of collaboration, and listeners ask if Mariner noted if there were any LGBTQI in ancient Tonga.

Mariner begins a new life in Tonga. And we step into the wayback machine to learn about the first Tu'i Tonga 'Aho'eitu.

Answering listener's questions from Episode 2: Oops Upside Your Head

What will happen to Captain Brown? What will happen to the rest of the Port au Prince crew? What will happen to William Mariner? And is there a slight possibility that maybe Mr. Dixon is still alive?

Answering your questions from Episode 1: Port au Prince

The Port au Prince was a privateer built in 1790 in France. Seized by the British off the coast of Haiti and renamed the Port Au Prince, it was originally involved in the transporting of slaves between Africa and the New World. In 1805, it was bought by a shipping magnate named Robert Bent and recommissioned as a whaling ship, but it also engaged in maritime warfare with Spain. The Port au Prince raided Spanish ships and colonies along the South American coast from Chile up to Central Mexico. So how did it end up all the way in the South Pacific in Tonga? And why is it sitting today on the bottom of sea in Ha'apai, Tonga? How is it connected to William Mariner?
