Amelia Tokagahahau Aliki was queen, or Lavelua, of Uvea (Wallis Island) from 1869 until her death in 1895. A Catholic ruler who governed with strong support from the Marist missionaries, she sought French protection against other powers and in 1886–1887 signed the treaty that made Uvea a French protectorate. The kingdoms of Futuna followed in 1888, forming the basis of today's Wallis and Futuna.
