Being a grandson of a fijian chief, our legend state we traveled down the river Rufiji in Africa south of Tanzania. Apparently we were warrior who also worked as gold mines Egypt
Matrilineal societies still exist in the Indigenous Pacific. In Fiji we have female chiefs too because pre-colonial times women were equal to their men in certain provinces prior to the influence of Christianity. I know in Micronesia they are still heavily matrilineal. Although women in leadership roles tend to be viewed as masculine and stoic from a Western lens that couldn’t be more further from the truth. A female chief is a matriarch not just to her tribe/clan but everyone she is leading. She is a divine feminine standing in her power. Women have a very important part to play in Indigenous Fijian culture too. We have something called the “vasu” system where a female is highly treasured. A woman and her family play a huge role especially if she goes off to marry into another family. Her connection to a man is important because she will bear his children/their descendants and that is highly treasured in Fijian culture because that means kinship bonds continue between all family tribes/clans that are connected through her. There’s more to it but that’s what I can explain from the top of my mind.🙏🏽🌺
@@brunomiles314 language and cultural we're more close to Polynesian. But skin tone, we would be regarded as melanisian. Either way. We're the crossover of the south Pacific.
Not really , but yeah ... fijians are poly but some ancestors are African, in lau where I'm half , that is close to tonga .. so that's where our poly roots came from
Why do Fijian circumcision no doubt the fijian brought the custom with them in remote times, and it's origin is probably the same in their case as in that of the Nacua of Central America, the Egyptian and Bantu race
It fable that about this the powerful chief Lutunasobasoba and his people followed the trade cross the Indian Ocean traveling south east Asia settled Fiji Island pacific
