Forsath or Forsayth? and Princess Tui? edit

This Rootsweb page and Barbara_Carrera#Career both spell it Forsath.

And http://www.princesstui.ws/html/history.html refers to her as Princess Tui Malietoa Coe. I'm not sure what name would be best for this article, though I suspect it's not "Emma Forsath". PamD (talk) 13:48, 11 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Better History Needed edit

The article is a little light on details, particularity on how she pushed her way into the DoY Islands defended by very hostile Tolais. I grew up in this part of the world and the name of Emma, and the German times, were not remembered fondly. Emma sported a pair of Navy colts around her bussel, and by all accounts she was not too shy to use them. She spoke all of the local dialects fluently, and laid down her law to the locals. In contrast, her sister Phoebe Parkinson was placid and lived peaceably with the locals until 1944.14.203.207.166 (talk) 03:39, 23 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

The Manuken dilemma edit

The Manuken dilemma is a traditional narrative orally handed down to even today's generation retells that Emma acquired the most part of the land in the Duke of York Islands through sexual enticement with a landlord of the local Konobua clan namely Manuken. 103.16.156.9 (talk) 04:10, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
