In the Polynesian mythologymythology of Tonga, "Ilaheva Vaepopua" (Ilaheva, living at PopuaVaepopua) was a mortal woman, the daughter of Seketo'aSeketoa, who was a chief of Tongatapu, or perhaps a god from Niuatoputapu. Or maybe she the daughter from a NiueNiuē chief. It depends on who told the story. But all agree that she became the wife of Tangaloa (Tongan mythology)Tangaloa Eitumātupua and mother of 'Aho'eituAhoeitu, the first divine king of the Tu'i TongaTui Tonga dynasty in Tonga, around 900 AD.
