The great warriors and heros of the past in different areas and walks of life have disappeared in physical terms but their souls and minds are still hovering and floating in our stories and memories.

Nuama from Fonua and Maama

nuama globe

The title Nuama was derived from the Moanan-Tongan words 'fonua'/land/fulfillment and 'maama'/earth/light. Both words are weltanschauung, worldwide view to life or philosophy of life. Their are several implications of such words regarding the ways Moanan-Tongan people in ancient sociieties perceived the meanings and purposes of life generally. There are five different meanings of fonua in Tongan culture, and four connotations for maama, interrelating in a given social condition within the normal scheme of things in space (va), time (ta) and the categories ('uketo'iangama'u).

Logo & Motto of Nuama of Moana

EVERYTHING EXISTS IN MAAMA AND FONUA AS A RESULT OF MAAMA AND FONUA. Maama and fonua in the first part points to earth and land, and second part stands for light and fulfillment.
