About Fiji History According to Fijian legend, the great chief Lutunasobasoba led his people across the seas to the new land of Fiji. Most authorities agree that people came into the Pacific from Southeast Asia via the Malay Peninsula. Here the Melanesians and the Polynesians mixed to create a highly developed society long before the arrival of the Europeans. The European discoveries of the Fiji group were accidental. The first of these discoveries was made in 1643 by the Dutch explorer, Abel Tasman and English navigators, including Captain James Cook who sailed through in 1774, and made further explorations in the 18th century. Major credit for the discovery and recording of the islands went to Captain William Bligh who sailed through Fiji after the mutiny on the Bounty in 1789. The first Europeans to land and live among the Fijians were shipwrecked sailors and runaway convicts from the Australian penal settlements. Sandalwood traders and missionaries came by the mid 19th century.

Contact NLTB History of the Native Land Trust Board Introduction Ratu Seru Cakobau The Native Land Trust Board derives its existence from the Native Land Trust Act of 1940. A brief history of the land in Fiji will assist us understand the reason behind its creation. At the time of Fiji was ceded to the British Crown in 1874, there were many foreign occupiers and claimants to areas of Fijian land. These had come about through dealings between chiefs and European beachcombers, Resident Governor Sir Arthur Gordon stopped all land sales immediately after Cession. In 1876, a commission under Victor Williamson was set up to investigate all claims to title to these land. Many claims were refused many more reduced. Even so, some 400 000 acres of Fijian land were registered in freehold title as Crown Grants. These freehold land represented a substantial proportion of the good agricultural land of Fiji. By 1880 it was realised that all land recognised to be owned by Fijians would have to be recorded and registered and also that there would have to bean authority to settle boundaries and ownership disputes. The Native Land Commission was established in 1880 to enquire and investigate claims to land by the indigenous landowner. At the same time a leasehold system was created where land could be used on a 21 year lease. Negotiations were carried out directly between the Fijian land owner and the prospective tenant. Apart from a brief period between 1905 and 1909 outright sales of native land have continued to be forbidden.

HOT DEALS ABOUT FIJI ACCOMMODATION ACTIVITIES ... SEARCH ABOUT FIJI Entry Requirements Health Money Time Zones ... Other Useful Websites Pre-history The most remarkable aspect of Fijian pre-history is its antiquity. It is now known that people had reached the Fijian archipelago as early as 2000 years before the birth of Christ. Considering the fact that the Vikings, acknowledged as Europe's greatest sailors, didn't reach American until three thousand years later, or the fact that Columbus made his famous voyage only some five hundred years ago, the Fijian achievement must be seen as extraordinary. The question is, who were the first settlers. And the answer is that we don't know. There are some who are prepared to speculate and Dr Roger Green, Professor of Anthropology at Auckland University, in New Zealand is one of them. He calls this vast archipelago "Island of South East Asia". These migrants were relatively new, even though they were different from those of the people already living in the islands of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Hebrides (now Vanuatu) and New Caledonia. The first settlers were of Negrito stock with dark skin, woolly hair and other typical features. The newcomers were fairer, had straight or wavy black hair and we can assume were of many type stock. they would seem to have been good sailors and craftsmen and excellent potters who made a distinct type of ware we know as Lapita pottery after its initial discovery in New Caledonia. A picture emerges of these "Lapita" people. Sailors, adventurers, good navigators and consummate craftsmen. The trail of their pots, hooks, obsidian cutting tools and ornaments leads down from New Britain through some of the outer islands fringing the Solomons and Vanuatu, suggesting that perhaps they were not powerful enough to force settlements on the bigger islands which were already supporting large populations of people.

Online Educational Materials General Fijian History POTS AND PREHISTORY Viti (Fiji) was first settled more than 3500 years ago by voyages sailing from Melanesia. The geological origin of their artifacts shows that their scattered communities remained in touch and were interdependent. Their archeological hallmark the celebrated 'lapita' pottery was decorated with intricate geometric patterns impressed by finely saw-toothed blades which were pressed into the clay prior to firing. The archaeological record establishes that the Vitian people and culture varied widely with time, evolving through thousands of years of dynamic and confused blending of ancestral Polynesian, Melanesian and west Polynesian peoples. The main forms of vessels produced in recent centuries included a wide range of cooking pots, yaqona bowls and vessels. CANOES The ancestral Polynesians were a seafaring people. The islanders would navigate from island to island with the use of swells, currents and stars to mention only a few of the vast number of indicators which skilled persons could use to steer from place to place. FISHING Line fishing, especially trolling was never very popular in Viti. Fishing included heavy baited wooden hooks used for catching eels, to coir sinnet and hibiscus bast nets used for catching turtles. A wide range of hand nets were used by women for prawns, shellfish and small fry while spearing and shooting with multipronged arrow was a male prerogative.

32. Foreign Policy In Focus - Self-Determination - Regional Conflict Profile - Fiji history. Tension between ethnic fijians and Indofijians dates back to the The indigenous and Indian populations dominate fiji s multi-ethnic society http://selfdetermine.irc-online.org/conflicts/fiji_body.html

Self-Determination Regional Conflict Profile x Fiji (Republic of the Fiji Islands) By Abid Aslam OVfiji.pdf History Tension between ethnic Fijians and "Indo-Fijians" dates back to the nineteenth century, when Britain, the colonial power, imported indentured laborers from India to work the land. In 1909, ownership was officially restricted to indigenous Fijian clans, ethnic Polynesians, and Melanesians, who today retain 80% of the land. The indigenous and Indian populations dominate Fiji's multi-ethnic society and have been at growing odds since Fiji won independence in 1970. In 1987, an Indo-Fijian-led Labor National Federation Party coalition defeated Prime Minister Ratu Kamisese K.T. Mara's Alliance Party. This prompted Lt. Col. Sitiveni Rabuka to lead two coups, citing Indo-Fijian domination of government and commerce. Rabuka reinstated the defeated Alliance government, enabling Ratu Mara to return as PM. This, plus a 1990 constitutional revision favoring native control, led to large-scale Indo-Fijian emigration, giving ethnic Fijians a 51% majority of the population. In 1992, Rabuka became prime minister. In 1993, Ratu Mara became president. A new constitution passed in 1997 and effective in 1998 led to the first "open" (not racially prescribed) elections. In 1999 Mahendra Chaudhry, who headed a Labor Party coalition, became the first Indo-Fijian prime minister and replaced Rabuka. Ratu Mara supported the coalition despite dissatisfaction among some ethnic Fijians.

Democratic rule was interrupted by two military coups in 1987, caused by concern over a government perceived as dominated by the Indian community (descendants of contract laborers brought to the islands by the British in the 19th century). A 1990 constitution favored native Melanesian control of Fiji, but led to heavy Indian emigration; the population loss resulted in economic difficulties, but ensured that Melanesians became the majority. Amendments enacted in 1997 made the constitution more equitable. Free and peaceful elections in 1999 resulted in a government led by an Indo-Fijian. Fiji has been a major contributor to UN peacekeeping missions in various parts of the world.

Foreign policy was (and still is) broadly pro-Western and geared towards the development of regional alliances, such as the South Pacific Forum. As a member of the Forum, Fiji, along with its small neighbours, vigorously campaigned against French nuclear testing. It is also a member of the Commonwealth, from which it was temporarily suspended in 1987 and again in 2000. The 1987 suspension followed the general election that same year, which removed the Alliance Party from office. The poll brought to power a coalition between the main ethnic Indian party, the National Federation Party, led by Marendra Chaudhry (see below), and the newly-formed Labour Party, which drew support from the growing multiracial trade union movement. The new Government had a majority of Indian ministers, which proved too much for many nationalist native Fijians (referred to as
