Tongan History

                                            Why do Tongan's wear a carpet ?
The Things Tongans wear on  are Ta 'ovala, it used to wear it in special  occasions
 like Birthdays, weddings and Funereal. The more torn up and old it is the better. 
Every Tongan parents wear it all time go somewhere like a  special  occasions, 
In my culture it is really important and Famous thing to wear. It is a really great
simple of Respect and Kindness. 

It all started when a group of Tongan's arrived at Tonga on boat, but their clothes
looked a little weird they were proud Tongan's so they cut of their sail of their boat
and wrapped it around his Waist. That is were it all started. Why they wear the Tongan
Mat.

  1. Nice job diving deeper into the Ta'ovala Fonua. Have you ever had to wear one? Is it something you wear often?
