Polynesian sails where not square but were triangular, in a delta shape.

An enlightening site. [1] Apparently from the article however, it does agree that majority opinion still holds Niue as part of the Tongan empire, and the great majority of the article is speculation, so I wouldn't suggest any changes to the article. But perhaps the opinion should be noted?12.220.94.199 01:27, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vanuatu?

The website of the Commonwealth of Nations states that Vanuatu was "part of the Tongan Empire into the 14th century" [2]. I haven't added that to the article, because it seems... slightly odd, and I've never seen such a statement elsewhere. At most, I assume there may have been Tongan settlements in what is now Vanuatu, but if such a large area had actually been under control of the Tongan Empire, I think far more sources would have recorded it.
