Welcome to Fiji BC - A 4 part video podcast series where I learn all about what Fiji was like in the days of old by asking a lot of questions just so that I don't have to read.
Our guest is Mr Simione Sevudredre, the Principal Cultural Officer at the Ministry of iTaukei Affairs. He'll be taking us on an interesting journey far beyond Fiji's recorded history and into the halls of yore.
In this first episode, we take a somewhat broad overview of the general structure of Fiji's society while learning some interesting facts about what Fiji was like, pre-contact.
A big vinaka vakalevu to Weta Fiji for sponsoring the show with a venue to shoot and Dave Lavaki of First Fighter who provided the video production equipment.

Yes Fijians were gigantic people with superhuman strengths who were members of the Burotu Empire that ruled the Pacific islands from the early BC decades to the 800yrs AD. They were astronomers scientifically known as Lemurians from the east,where the sunrises and sets. Our ancestors were the ones who had the worlds oldest civilization. You can see them on a link written by an Italian born ancient Greek writer. Who wrote that they settled at the back of the Nile river nd brought with them their art of civilization from their motherland nd influenced Egypt to build their civilization then Empires. They came from the direction of the setting Sun. Fiji is where the sunrises and sets. I'll share the link later. That's why the British colonisers found our Fijian forefathers easier to teach than the Tongans..Because they already had a civilization on their own. When the British colonisers brought their own,they taught our fathers that our civilization was evil but theirs was the proper one.

@@kip4586 I'd argue that a people who went globally around the world teaching others how to become structured is infinitely better than the British coming to everyone saying they're evil. Atleast the gift you guys left behind lasted beyond time, all the british did was destroy the natural world and convince you that you're demonic for not worshipping their queen.

It's true that we are oral people. We tell our story not written. It's about time we as native needs to tell our story and not taking our story from outsiders which will always out of context. And it will always out of context because they're not us. We are very orderly and structured people in terms of our culture. Thank you for this. We have a very rich history and culture. Our forefathers were very wise and civilized back then.

I can testify to what Mr. Sevudredre is sharing with us here is true. I have been given a lot of these folklore or traditions of our taukei from my very own grandmother who was born in the 1900. This was how I learned some of our earlier roles as they were passed down during pre contact or daku ni kuila as commonly known. As I sat there playing Rami before prayer n bedtime with my granny. Then I couldn't comprehend how all the elders will assemble at the Vatanitawake to await the arrival of this deity descending down with only chest n head form.Niw I can fully comprehend with Mr. Sevudredre account.

I hope you don't mind if I make a small list of questions that you could ask Mr. Sevudredre in the future if/when possible: 1. Whose role was it to maintain the integrity/accuracy of oral history (myths and legends, ancient history, genealogy, traditional stories etc) in the village and did they follow certain protocols to ensure mistakes were not made, maybe they divided certain stories to certain people to act as a living archives or was it everyone's responsibility to learn it? 2. Did the Bati act as police or enforcers of the law in the village, also did they try to kill or punish people who were disgruntled and wanted to leave? 3. What were some common laws and punishments in Fiji at the time and were there any exceptional/quirky laws in certain provinces. 4. He talked about chiefs being able to be changed on merit, was this similar to the Matei system I've heard about in other Polynesian islands? 5.The Lapita first wave migration came around 1500 BC did the subsequent waves of migration wipe them out or did they just live in small area of the eastern island group around Motiriki? 5.Who were the Pulotu/Burotu and where did they live how big/powerful was their kingdom? 6.Do you believe there were giants in those ancient times? 7.Do you think Degei and other demi gods could be fallen angels/ Annunaki like those in ancient Sumeria? Those last questions are a bit tongue in cheek just interesting perspectives of reptilian God mythology that can be found all over the world in ancient cultures. Thankyou for the opportunity to satiate my curious mind, God bless and stay safe.

I stumbled on this too late. Grateful to you guys for doing these video series. I agree the hierarchy are different in parts of Fiji. Sau Turaga is the actual chief or paramount chief who appoints the Gone Turaga who represents them and carries out their orders. Otherwise its all the same for there on. Perhaps they work side by side. Status is also recognised by their yavu or foundation of the house. Vinaka vaka levu

According to Fijis widely accepted legend, every humans (Fijians) originated from Vuniivilevu/Vunilagi(pre-flood earth)which used to be located between Viti Levu, Vanua Levu and Ovalau. After the flood then they settled the islands between Nakauvadra, Naicobocobo and Ovalau. If you dissect those 2 explanations prior and after the flood. It points directly to Davetalevu Moturiki island.. That was even confirmed by the archaeological findings on Moturiki in 2002. Where the 17000 highest amount of ancient potteries found in the whole Pacific islands were seen on 1 site alone on Naitabale(Naturuku) Moturiki.Thats out of the 89 other sites on that Lomaiviti island. region. From that 17000 potteries, only 92 resembles the so called Lapita potteries found on other sites of Fiji nd the Pacific islands. Also those 92 Lapita potteries of Naitabale Moturiki had covered the 4 migratory patterns which were seen incompleted on other Lapita sites of Fiji. That means they were all settled together on Moturiki in the earlier days. The rest of the 1608 from the 17000 potteries were unmatched because they came from their trades nd businesses overseas.. Get back on that last sentence, theres a 90th ancient site found on Davetalevu(Uluibau, Moturiki) reef. Where their Korovatu magnetic stone fort used to stand from the 1st century after the flood till it was flooded in the 8th century AD. Where it was then dismantled and levitated on a Big Fijian Drua and the log stones levitated on the back of a large sea serpent. Where they were strapped with walai and all shipped to West Katau in NW Pacific. Before they moved on to Pohnpei Micronesia, where they built those stones on their reef. Which was known as Seun Nen Leng(Reef of Heaven - Cakauilagi) nd later as Nan Madol stone city. There are names still lives on Moturiki which commemorated that stone shipment to Micronesia. That was the remnant of the Pulotu(Burotu) Empire which once lead Fiji and the Pacific islands in those early decades..Where they were based when their chosen men spread their civilisation around the Pacific and the whole world. They were the worlds 1st colonisers before anyone else did.

Where & What are the origin story of the Fijian people ? Obviously being of Melanesian decent would there be a closer connection to people of vanuatu and her outer lying islands ? Before Making there way and settling Fiji and connecting with Samoans and Tongan

Fiji was settled in waves, so it's an island of mixed people both Poly/ Mela, Mela/Poly. Fiji culturally, linguistically and the way of life is more Polynesia as well as history, but the skin is Mela which is why Fiji was grouped into Melanesia in the first place by the Palagi's. Fiji is both Polynesian and Melanesian given its mixed heritage as stated and it's peoples history is mainly with Tonga and Samoa but there is none to my knowledge that if Fiji did the same with Melanesia.

Science tells us the blood of the Fijians are 80% Asian on their mothers side and 79% Melanesian on their fathers side. At the crossroad of the pacific Fijian are 1/2 Polynesian and 1/2 Melanesian. Goggle search Fijian mitacondrial dna the site Nature.

Science tells us that Fijians are 80% Asian on their mothers side and 79% Melanesian on their fathers side. Study of the blood in their veins is undeniable. Being at the crossroad of the pacific Fijians are approx 1/2 Polynesian and 1/2 Melanesian. Google search the words: Fijian mitacondrial DNA and read the blood study by the Science website.
