Answer:

It was only around 3000 years ago that people began heading eastwards from New Guinea and the Solomon Islands further into the Pacific. Great skill and courage was needed to sail across vast stretches of open sea. Between 1100 and 800 BCE these voyagers spread to Fiji and West Polynesia, including Tonga and Samoa.
