Is Moana Based on a true story?

Moana is an ancient tale set on a fictional island, but the story, characters, and culture depicted are drawn from real Polynesian islands. Disney's Moana takes place in the Pacific Islands in the distant past, but is there a more detailed answer to the question of where is Moana from and when Moana is set?
