Tamahā

[1] The special title of Tamahā is given to the eldest daughter of the Tu'i Tonga Fefine and a chief of one of the Falefisi (Tu'i Ha'ateiho or Tu'i Lakepa).

[2][3] The Tamahā had the highest social status in the land, because she was fahu ("above the law") to the Tu'i Tonga.

However, she did not have the highest societal rank (ha'a).

The Tamahā did not rule the land and had no real power within the societal structure.
