    Settled by a banished Tongan chief, none of the descendants are of note and his fort was destroyed, they still uphold the story to hustle tourists out of a few dollars. If it wasn't for that none would be the wiser.

    Marleyelabee9750.. its needs to be explained clearly...right now..its not understood clearly..how the Tongans built fort there..does they conqured it or it was given?? Because the fijian warriors in this region were powerful fearless warriors..and the setting was on a hill..so it could be a connection between the locals and the Tongans to climb up and built forts here.. this woman doesn't fully have the depth to the real information of "How" Tavuni was built with forts...fiji and the world needs a clear information about this. During war times..Fiji was so hard to be penetrated by its enemies..and such region is this region..a valley region with village..setting. so many highlanders here are furoseous warriors and srtong. They can see any enemy from far distance as they were on a Hill. Still today.. i cant still understand clearly 'How' it was bult with the Tongan forts?? Could anyone from the original village here..share some Factual Truth in here?.. so we can rest understand the correct History.

      ​@@leont5096.. that's all bulshit you idiot... there's no match for Tongans here.. that's why I asked that question. No Tongans came to Fiji alone themselves, they always connected with Fijian local warriors for their access. That's Why I need a True original people of Fijians heritage not the Tongans to clarify this piece of history.. because this setting might be given..not conquered, this woman just based on given history not factual history..any True Fijian can give a clear information?????
