Tuʻi-tā-tui
Tui-tā-tui ''(meaning: king strike knee)'' was the 11th king of the Tui Tonga, a dynasty in Tonga, who supposedly lived during the 12th century AD. Most of what is known about him is through Tongan myths and tales
==Heketā==
According to legend, Tuitātui had, like his father Momo, his court in Heketā ''(meaning: cripple hit)'', near the village of Niutōua on Tongatapu. It was there that he built, as an impressive gateway to the royal compound, the Haamonga-a-Maui. From the Haamonga a path proceeded about 50 m to the slightly elevated esi maka fākinanga, ''(stone to lean against)'' where the king sat against with his back, safe from any assassin from that direction. He was a huge, strong man, and easily handled a large stick as whether it was nothing. He hit everybody against the knees who would approach him too closely from the front. At par with this was his introduction of a new kava circle layout (a formal gathering of the chiefs of the country under him), in which the king sat more apart from the others (including supposed assassins) than before.
He also built there at Heketā the earliest known langi (burial tombs)– Langi Heketā and Langi Moungalafa (where four of his children were buried), but he himself would not use them. These stone structures still exist. He also made a sporting field to play ''sikaulutoa'' (reed throwing stick).
