It's been more than three and a half years since one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in recent history left devastation in Tonga. An Australian-led scientific team has been studying the area surrounding the underwater volcano, in collaboration with researchers from across the world, looking for signs of life.

HEADLINE: The Two Stages of Pacific Settlement: Early Migrations and the Lapita Culture AUTHOR NAME: Nicholas Thomas SUMMARY: Human settlement of the Pacific occurred in two stages. Early migrations crossed Wallacea 50,000-60,000 years ago, settling New Guinea and Australia. Much later, around 5,000-6,000 years ago, agriculturalists speaking Austronesian languages left Taiwan. This culture, known for distinctive Lapita pottery, migrated swiftly, establishing complex societies and settling western Polynesia (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa). 1899 SAMOA

In Pacific Waves today: In Papua New Guinea, prime minister James Marape is rebuffing any question of China wanting to scuttle a new security deal the country is brokering with Australia. The official registration period for voters in Tonga closed on Thursday as preparations continue towards the November general election. Vanuatu's environment minister says there will be no commercial fishing close to the shore within the border of the recently announced Melanesian Ocean Reserve initiative.

What makes a great coach? Sustained success obviously plays a huge part, but there are several other deciding factors which elevate some coaches above others.Alongside the arbitrary 40-year rule to qualify for the top ten, and to make it a level playing field, our nominees need to have coached a club to a Super League title, that is, during an era when the sport was fully professional. Unfortunately, that rules out legendary leaders like Dougie Laughton and Alex Murphy, alongside a few others who did, but still missed the cut.However, it does include the likes of John Monie, the hugely successful Wigan coach who claimed the very first Super League Grand Final. That was after guiding them to four consecutive league and cup doubles between 1990 and 1993 as Monie won over 80% of the games he coached with the Cherry and Whites.Brian McDermott won four Super League Grand Finals with Leeds, twice guiding the Rhinos to victory after finishing fifth in the regular season and led them to the treble in 2015. While the current England coach, Shaun Wane, steered Wigan to three Grand Final triumphs and will be hoping to add to that success in this autumn's Ashes series.Current Wigan boss, Matt Peet, won a quadruple in 2024, making it seven trophies in his first three seasons in charge of the Warriors. While Kristian Woolf was victorious in each of his three seasons in charge of St Helens and also coached Tonga to victory over Australia in 2019, one of the greatest upsets in rugby league history.Others under consideration include Tony Smith, a winner with Leeds and Warrington, who also took charge of England and Great Britain. Kiwi, Brian McLennan, secured back-to-back Super League titles with Leeds, Ian Millward was a multi-trophy winner with St Helens and Daniel Anderson who led Saints to a treble and two different NRL clubs to Grand Finals. Finally, there's panellist Brian Noble, a three-time Grand Final winner with Bradford Bulls and coach of Great Britain. But can 'Nobby' persuade the others to vote for him as the best coach of the modern era?

Currently streaming on Apple TV+, “Chief of War” marks a breakout role for rising actor Siua Ikale'o, who plays Nahi, the youngest brother of Ka'iana (Jason Momoa).   Created by Jason Momoa and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, “Chief of War” delivers an epic and unprecedented retelling of the unification and colonization of Hawaii, from an indigenous perspective. Momoa stars as warrior Ka'iana, striving to unite the islands in the late 18th century ahead of Western colonization.    To prepare for his role, Siua underwent immersive training in conversational Hawaiian (‘Ōlelo Hawai'i), sailing a traditional Wa'a canoe, Hawaiian martial art Lua, and stunt choreography.   Born in California and raised in the island Kingdom of Tonga, Siua is fluent in Tongan and deeply rooted in Polynesian culture. He made his television debut in 2022 with a guest star appearance on NCIS: Hawai'i as hitman Ricky Sio.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

There's little that is as important…    “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come.”  - Matthew 24:14 (KJV) 

This episode features poet, author, and intellectual Moana ‘Ulu‘ave-Hafoka. The catalyst for this discussion was a recently released YouTube video by former Mormon author and YouTuber Alyssa Grenfell, titled Tonga is 60% Mormon??????, which has currently been viewed more than 200k times since being posted. This video references one of Moana's articles, so as nerds of Tonga, Indigeneity, and Mormonism, we wanted to add further complexity to some of what was shared on that platform. We discuss nuance, blurred boundaries, historical and cultural context, as well as Mormon specificity, and even larger structures and systems of power. We shift mid-way through this episode to engage with Ryan Coogler's film Sinners (spoilers). We discuss a variety of symbols in the film, including, the global impact of Black (African-American) culture, race, global Indigeneity, diaspora, spirituality, religion, sacred time-space, and more.   References: To be Young, Mormon, and Tongan by Moana ‘Ulu‘ave-Hafoka Kinikini, Lea Lani, Kepa Maumau, Moana Uluave-Hafoka, (2021).“Raise Your Pen: A Critical Race Essay on Truth and Justice”.  In Reppin: Youth Studies in Oceania.

Dr. Patrick Kirch is a University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa anthropology professor specializing in historical anthropology, archaeology and the deep-time history of the peoples of the Pacific. In this interview, Melissa and Clay talk with him about how his growing up in Mānoa valley among kānaka maoli and Bishop Museum mentors influenced him early on, and how his field research has taken him from Papua New Guinea and the Solomons, to Tonga and Samoa, the Cook Islands, French Polynesia, and Hawai'i. We come to understand the adaptability of people in ancient times through transported world views, plants, animals, and diverse agricultural practices–lifeways that continue today.

More Palestinians are reported to have been killed waiting for food near an aid site run by Israel and US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The head of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation tells us that it is the victim of a disinformation campaign.Also on the programme: Tonga's minister of health has a message for the hackers demanding a $1m ransom; and the Argentine-born composer, Lalo Schifrin, the man behind the Mission Impossible theme, has died at the age of 93.

Millions of years ago, iguanas somehow got from North America to Fiji. Scientists think they made the trip on a raft of fallen vegetation. Also, the marine reptile's fossilized fetus is cluing paleontologists into the lives of ancient sea creatures.Ancient Iguanas Floated 5,000 Miles Across The PacificIf you picture iguanas, you might imagine them sunbathing on hot sand in the Caribbean or skittering around the Mojave Desert. But far, far away from where these iguanas are found is another group of iguanas living on the islands of Fiji and Tonga in the South Pacific—closer to New Zealand than the Americas. And it raises the question: How in the world did these iguanas end up all alone, on the other side of the ocean? In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in March, scientists suggest that millions of years ago, iguanas hitched a ride on a raft and accidentally sailed all the way across the ocean before washing ashore and starting a new life. Host Flora Lichtman discusses the iguanas' intrepid adventure with lead author Dr. Simon Scarpetta, evolutionary biologist and assistant professor at the University of San Francisco in California.Meet Fiona, The Pregnant Icthyosaur FossilIn the Patagonia region of Chile, Torres del Paine National Park is a graveyard of ichthyosaurs—ancient, dolphin-like reptiles that roamed the oceans when dinosaurs dominated the land. Nearly 90 of these giant reptiles' fossils have been found amongst the glaciers. But the standout in the bone heap is Fiona, an ichthyosaur that lived 131 million years ago. She's in pristine condition, the only fully preserved ichthyosaur in Chile. And, she died pregnant. She's teaching paleontologists about the evolution of her species. And some of those findings were recently published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. Host Flora Lichtman talks with lead author Dr. Judith Pardo-Pérez, paleontologist at the University of Magallanes in Chile.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
