There are, apparently, (according to modern, Christian Polynesians)
pre-Christian Polynesian stories about some white guy going around on a
big boat around the time of Christ and doing miracles.
Also, and I don't think there is a connection, large numbers of Tongans
are Mormons (the official Church is Weslayan, and there are also a lot of
Catholics in Tonga).
