Polynesians from where? Tell me more! 
 Thank you. The information you've provided is sufficient. 
  
 Thanks had a finger slip. Polynesians from Samoa came to the island. Chiefs and rulers way back in 1889 wrote a letter to Queen Victoria to take the hand of the empire and hide Niue within it. 
 ...England possessing the island. Apparently Niue made a deal to be under the jurisdiction of New Zealand in 1901. No information on an independence. Niue people enter the New Zealand militiary.
