Tongan narrative, Tongan mythology, or ancient Tongan religion, sometimes referred to as tala-ē-fonua (meaning, "telling of the land and its people") [1] in Tongan, is the collation of various myths, legends, stories, traditions, characters, creatures, spirits, and gods of the Polynesian islands that now make up the island nation of Tonga.
It is a variant of other Polynesian mythologies with multiple cultural and religious overlaps, however it is considered to be distinct from other Polynesian mythologies as it can be studied more specifically to understand the history and culture of Tonga, as well it can also be studied more broadly within the fields of history, anthropology, and mythology.
