The Polynesian islands were settled from Western Polynesia to Eastern Polynesia as indicated via carbon dating and periods of island settlements ( Lapita pottery ). Early Polynesians migrated from the Samoan islands (settled in 2000-500BC) to Marquesas (100AD) to Tahiti (300AD) to Hawaii (500AD) and then upon return voyages from the east into the west, Polynesians settled Aotearoa (800-1000AD) from the Cook Islands.
Sister islands found in SAMOA, TAHITI and HAWAII are as following: Upolu and Savaii in Samoa 2000-500BC; Uporu and Havaii in Tahiti 300AD now called Taha'a & Raiatea; Upolu on Hawai'i and Hamoa, Maui in Hawaii 500AD. This was a recreation of their sister island homes in Samoa as the children of Savaii settled new lands in the east from Western Polynesia.
Hamoa coast of Maui island is directly facing Upolu point of Hawaii, these sister islands were named by the original Polynesians to recreate familiarity in Hawaii using their original island home names from Samoa ( Hamoa ). Upolu is the sister island to the big island of Savaii in Western Polynesia (Samoan islands). "S" is interchangably sounded as "H" in the Polynesian dialects. "Tonga" is pronounced "Konga" by Samoans and Tongans alike with the interchanging T and K. Tama Samoa which means 'Samoan man' is also Kama Hamoa in old Polynesian dialects.

Dedication: The Polynesian Samoan Hawaiian medical terms in books "POLYNESIAN INTERCONNECTIONS" are dedicated to the late Paramount Alii Lei'ataua Le Sa Peter Ah Ching of Upolu, Manono, Samoa, Hawai'i nei and Pago Pago, American Samoa who was hospitalized at Straub Medical Clinic Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii 2003. This knowledge of medical Polynesian terminology is disseminated for the education of nurses and doctors upon caring for the Polynesian people of these Polynesian islands: Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, Hawai'i and Aotearoa and the Polynesian triangle at large. Knowledge and a willingness to learn, communicate and help patients is in essence why people become healthcare workers ideally. God bless & may all benefit from this endeavor for effective medical care upon patients.
