Nafanua was a historical ali'i or queen and toa of Samoa, who was part of the S Tonumaipe'a clan. She was known for her achievements and was regarded as a goddess in the local religion. She was given the title of goddess of war because she was highly regarded by her family and village council. As a goddess of war, she was responsible for protecting her family and saving her village from enemies.
Various mythological and historical traditions about Nafanua's life and family have been presented. She reportedly played a significant role in the civil wars that occurred in the western and eastern portions of Savai'i during the time of Nafuana. During this time, the two sides were competing for the title and land of the entire island.
During the war, Lilomai'ava would often catch people from the west side of the island and force them to climb a coconut tree. This was done to show his power and prove that he was capable of conquering the whole island. Nafanua managed to stop this activity gaining immense respect from her tribe.
