Located just behind the Ha’amonga ‘a Maui on Tongatapu, the Maka Fa’akinanga, or "leaning stone," is a unique historical site steeped in legend. This upright stone slab, with an indentation resembling a head, shoulders, and back, is said to be where King Tu’itatui would sit, using a staff to maintain a safe distance from his subjects due to fears of assassination. The name "Tu’itatui" translates to "King-strike-knee," reflecting this historical tale.
