Template:Short description In the Polynesian mythology of the Tongan island of ʻAta, the god Tamapoʻuliʻalamafoa[1] is the king of the heavens. He is the one who ordered (through his servants all called Tangaloa (Tangaloa ʻEiki, Tangaloa Tufunga, and Tangaloa ʻAtulongolongo)) the sub-god Laufakanaʻa to become ruler of that island.[2]

According to others, however, Tangaloa ʻEiki was the ancestor god and Tangaloa Tamapoʻulialamafoa, Tangaloa ʻEitumātupuʻa, Tangaloa ʻAtulongolongo, and Tangaloa Tufunga his offspring.
