- Bula!! Come to the parade! Here's an experience of the world-renowned Fiji Police Marching Band as they boogie down the main street of Savusavu on the island of Vanua Levu.
Important note: Five and a half minutes into the video I make a comment about the "legendary Fijian cannabals" - I sincerely apologize for that. What I should've said was "Fijian WARRIORS" but made a terrible mistake due to my then-ignorance. I would replace this video with a corrected version on RUclips if I could but YT doesn't allow that, so to all Fijian people, please accept my deepest apology for this cluelessness and insensitivity.

My goodness.. Fijian culture is so interesting. I thought Hawaiian culture was interesting. But, with such beautiful diversity, Fiji is now high on my bucket list.
Actually, the Pacific Islands cultures are very interesting and unique. I'm actually from Hawaii and i love my culture.
complicated. ancient, Beautiful land. Lovely women. Handsome men.
@@forme3h touch the Tribes. (think not hawaii. Think ISLANDS.). I ,,,,THINK, islands.
@@greasycock455 Hawaii’s an island state..lol
Welcome to the Pacific Islands.
That policeman and lady dancing was just great! It just shows that policemen/women are human too! Great vlog, thanks for sharing with us!
I really admire this video. Its a perfect way to show the world that the Pacific islands are full of joy. Well done FIJI
Thx man

OMG! I've been here, a little town called Savusavu. They have some world class fish and chips spots there
? chips
The rest of Fijian society is just "RESPECT"...glad and blessed to be Pasifika (Pacific)
Love from Trinidad & Tobago in the Caribbean
They reminded my of the police marching bands of the Caribbean.
Bula
@@onelove679 Seeennnn!
I'm proud to be a Fiji indian...

I'm proud to be married to a Fijian!

This is one of the fun things in being a fijian born, seriously speaking
I am a Fiji born, a mixed heritaged person, mixed between the two majority groups in Fiji. I am proud to say...there is peace amongst the two cultures, they coexist despite several political issues, there is still a lot more love between the two cultures.
Proud of Fiji, and always will be.
the fiji indians don even have right to the very land that they have been producing for 20-30 yrs....their contracts r rejected n those land r also not utilized by the other community..
IS THIS EVEN TRUE!!!!

Shams Ferdous . I am American Muslim. Indian origin. I like to ask you is Fiji is safe for indian visitors . Please answer
@@asifmehmood35 Fiji is like any other country, it's safe to visit however do keep in mind that with different countries comes or has different unique mannerism💕 Everyone coexist with different ethnicity🥰So to answer your question Yess🤗
Reminded me of Suva in 1972. There was a P & O cruise ship in Port. The army band played on the wharf as the boat sailed and the trombone players turned to face the sheds which the sound bounced off, hit the side of the ship and reverberated between. Awesome..then later the same day the Fijian Police paraded the main st down to the fair ground as they were taking their turn as guards at the Governor Generals residence. It was a similar scene
Fiji is the most happy and loving place I’ve ever been. I feel so blessed to be able to call Fiji home. Living in America has its perks but living in Fiji has my heart! I’d rather be living off the land and laughing each and everyday in Fiji then working my life away to barely survive in America! Thank you so Koch for sharing this video. I’ve been stuck here in America for the past 10 months due to Covid and this video literally brings me back to the islands! Sota Tale Fiji ❤️❤️❤️
Sota tale Sarah. Stay safe
Wish America ‘s police would take some advice from the Fiji’s police that was beautiful. I am sure that makes a difference in society.
You gotta be kidding me, Fiji's police is corrupt as corrupt can be. So many instances where Indians would approach the police to file reports only for them to be of no help. I have seen some very shady stuff going on. Indians literally account for most of Fiji's economy yet are treated like 2nd class citizens. So glad i don't live there anymore.
You don't know what are you talking about...just watching a simple video of fijian police dancing now you are comparing them with USA police....you are correct because dancing is what these fijian police is good for because criminals are smarter than them
this is real community. everywhere is corrupt. non more so than america and england so bore off
@toofbar2 fuckoff...fiji dont need you either...asshole
Does fiji like black Americans?
Beautiful..No to war..All to life.. People..All people
Hello good people, I am from Suriname where Indians live for more than 150 years.
We integrated with other cultures and our main language is Dutch but also spoken Bhojpuri, Hindi and also Sanskrit (mostly by pandits) Seeing you is like i'm in Suriname but your culture is fun too. I will definitely visit Fiji one day, and please you are welcome in Suriname, aao bhaiyo aur behno
I am planning a trip to Guyana, also want to stop over in Suriname. Let's see who has the best curry 🍛
thanks for the video it brings more memory when I was young. I hated it when I have to move to another country I miss my home land love you fiji I will see you soon
Adiveni Tanidrala I feel you
Lol hope You come home soon 😊
Hold up wait a minute, why the do they seen so closely related to black Americans wow this may be a game-changer for some black Americans they have a lot in common
@Hello Hello I believe there were always dark/black-skinned people all over the world first or as you want to put it dark-skinned, however, there are dark, darker, darkest skinned people we come in different shades and have hundreds of tribes we belong to lol
Love from the Netherlands!
Love from Fiji

I'm proud to be in Fiji and its our blessed Fiji island 🇫🇯👌
I had great and fond memories of my time in Fiji many years back. From my own experience I have great respect for these two groups of Fijians living in harmony together. Believe me, it has everything to do with great parenting. Their kids grew up with the guidance of their parents to respect everyone and so now that they are adults they are passing on that teaching to their kids. Parents and leaders from around the world should visit Fiji to learn something that they can take back home. To all Fijians living in Fiji and abroad, I would like to greet you with the words I learned from my Fijian friends (from both groups of course!) when I was studying in Fiji so many years ago: “Bula vinaka” and “Namaste”.
Baraniko Tabuanaba - You must have lived on some other alternate reality. Fiji has the Native Fijians and then the Indian Fijians. Neither of these groups have got along since the beginning of Fiji. Mostly the native Fijians repeatedly insulting, assaulting and telling the Indians to go back to their own country. Fiji's economy was run on the Indians back while we were persecuted by the natives. Today we see a world where India is the 4th most powerful nation on earth, If only the Fijians would have fucked off and let the Indians run Fiji. I don't think any nation has anything to learn from Fiji. I think every Indian in Fiji should leave for New Zealand, Australia, Canada, USA where Indians truly prosper and drive expensive cars and own million dollar homes.
I do not live in alternate reality. I was practically there in Fiji for several years and I had friends who were either indigenous Fijians or Fijian Indians. They did go along together in what I would classify as good mutual relationships and they pretty much left each other in peace. I did notice when I went to use the restroom in the school library that I started seeing those nasty racist graffitis. I knew it was not written by all the Fijians from both groups, they were more written by a few who refused to identify themselves, just like you are not doing it right now!
Reading your comment, I gather you are a Fiji Indian who is currently living in Fiji or (more likely) is now living abroad either in Australia, NZ, or Canada. Now answer me this question: if the indigenous Fijians were not converted to Christianity and kept to their ancient ways, would your people who landed on their shores those many years ago, be able to survive then? Won’t you agree that now you see them as very polite and law abiding as opposed to being warlike? Sure, there might be some who are not, but you have those kinds of people in every country of the world. Also, based on my observation, the Fijian Indians are not the same as those in continental India. The ones in Fiji are not aggressive and they seem to focus their energy on pursuing academic success. Now, my next question to you: did your parents spent their time teaching you to be aggressive or to be successful in school? If most Fijian Indians were in fear of their lives due physical harassment from the indigenous population, they would have raised their offsprings very differently. War produces warriors and peace produces prosperity and a harmonious society. You do owe your “millionaire” status to Fiji, the nation, and her people’s way of life.
I know for a fact that tourists just love the way everyone is living in harmony together in Fiji. The beauty of Fiji to tourists is not only from the beautiful beaches and resorts, but more importantly, from the people who call that country home. The Fiji Police band dancing happily in this parade looks really genuine and I doubt you will see that duplicated anywhere else in the world. There is a lot a tourist will learn during his or her stay in Fiji, especially from this kind of parade.
In conclusion, you do use a lot of vulgar terms but I will ignore them. Peace to you!
My eyes is full of tears
Coz I'm proud to be fijian🇫🇯🇫🇯
God bless my home and love leaned Fiji Island🇫🇯
Such a beautiful culture!!
Thanks so much (Vinaka)
This is Fijian culture
Greeting from fijian of indian descent 😁😁😁😁
Our Fijian society is all about love and smile!
Grog is biggest part of our life where we drink and be happy 😁
harmonious culture which can last.
Just got back and I'm missing it already and I am from Hawai'i
Oh man .. we holiday in Savusavu lots ... such a beautiful place xxx
FYI those men were NOT representing "native cannibals". They were wearing their indigenous attire, a reflection of their pre-colonial culture.
Now I want to go there
you should come around..lots of love here..
Your not gonna wanna leave either 😂 that's the bad thing
We have some minor issues here in Fiji just like any where else BUT we still know that we still have the hearts where we can showcase how we can make peace within ourselves and others because we are serving the God, who said and I quote "I give you my Peace and my Peace be with you"
One of the best comments so far...Stay blessed sir
Let the police enjoy haha! Love from Samoa.
Thank u😚

I have a dream to go Fiji but I don't have any friends there. I m from India origin but lives in Singapore. To go a new place atleast to know someone there because it's very far from India as well from Singapore. I also heard that have so many Indians there and easily to get Indian food and even the language can speak Hindi and English. Even driving is same like India and Singapore. Which makes me more crazy to visit there and explore. Anyway love u Fiji and Fijians see u there someday , God bless us all.
Feel free to visit our Place...At least get to know the place and culture. Would love to accommodate your family in case you want to pay a visit...
Thank you so much for this marvelous video I really enjoyed watching it 😍

Thank you great video. It represents Fiji well. On the most part the 2 cultures and races coexist lovingly but tensions do arise usually by politicians or military. Fiji is a beautiful place and so are the people that live there and they have a fabulous cuisine x
Fijian in the heart
+The Last M'tchai Does it become light red in color??
@@Anselm_237 They've been doing that ever since the precolonial era in terms of trade, intermarriage, and tribal warfare. Besides, all three of them have links to the Austronesians anyways through island hopping as voyagers.
No idea what's your issue about "pure blood," but I see nothing wrong with that.
NICE VIDEO THANK YOU FROM SAROJINI AND GINO
