  • Blacks in Fiji can trace their roots for thousands of years back to the Lake Tanganyika area in East Africa.
    Lake Tanganyika is an African Great Lake. It is the second-oldest freshwater lake in the world, the second-largest by volume, and the second-deepest, in all cases after Lake Baikal in Siberia. It is the world's longest freshwater lake. The lake is shared between four countries-Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Burundi, and Zambia, with Tanzania (46%) and DRC (40%) possessing the majority of the lake. It drains into the Congo River system and ultimately into the Atlantic Ocean.

    Here are the Fijians clearly declaring that their ancestors came from Africa thousands of years ago, by ship. This establishes two facts. The first is that these are our people, and they're Africans by descent. Some people keep pushing the false narrative that these people have nothing to do with Africa. Secondly, the fact that Africans travelled to this island by ship thousands of years ago, tells us that Africans have been sailing the seas for centuries. Also notice that the distance between Africa and Fiji Islands is about 9,000 miles. The distance between West Africa and North America is about 4000 miles. So if Africans could sail 9000 miles to Fiji Islands, means they could've also sailed to the Americas, which is a shorter distance by comparison. Thanks brother for this great video.

      Dig deeper into fijians tradition and historical facts and you'll see.For example,The elder brother serves the younger brother. The younger brother is the king whereas the elder brother is his servicemen. The elder brother holds the real power because he's the commander of the army (warrior caste)and sees that standard operation procedure are followed by the people and chiefs. The chiefs are not immune , they can be replaced by the elder brother not with votes but by force of arms,SOP applies here.The kingship is the the other way around (reverse),if the elder is the king who can reprimand him when his at fault This people are Israelites.If you dig deeper you'll find evidence,for example if you go to the west of fiji,there is a village that has an old flag called the number 12.If you go further inland you'll find 12 pillars in a circle and ancient writings on caves. The fijian are structured in the way they live.This are the structures,they have clans with specific roles such as builders(mataisau),fisherman (tunidau),priesthood (bete)and so on.please dig deeper and you'll find.

      Okay, so basically, Fijians, Solomon Islanders, and other Melanesians are a recently diverged group who sailed out of Papua New Guinea around maybe 3kya. So papuans, were one group with Australian aboriginals until the landmass separated, but where did this group come from. We can see who are the closest related groups to papuans using an online search. ‘The genetic makeup of Papuans is primarily derived from Ancient East Eurasians, which relates them to other mainland Asian groups such as the "AASI", Andamanese, as well as East/Southeast Asians’ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_people_of_New_Guinea#:~:text=The%20genetic%20makeup%20of%20Papuans,2%25%2C%20next%20to%20additional%20archaic. For those who do not know, AASI are the Ancient Ancestral South Indian people, which make up about 1/3 to half of most indian DNA today and in some populations higher. So they say they are related to other south-east asian groups. Let’s now fit the puzzle. So the negrito group of Phillipines, the Aeta, have very similar DNA to papuans theculturetrip.com/asia/philippines/articles/the-aeta-the-first-philippine-people#:~:text=According%20to%20historians%2C%20the%20Aetas,and%20Melanesians%20of%20Solomon%20Islands. So this link says, ‘they're of the same group as those of Aborigines in Australia and Melanesians of Solomon Islands.’ It also says they have affinities to other southeast-asian groups such as the Orang asli. Now who are the Orang asli, and where are there origins, let’s search this up, go on. Malaysian genetic experts ‘Genetic studies date Malaysia's Orang Asli back to India somewhere between 42,000 to 63,000 years ago’. theculturetrip.com/asia/malaysia/articles/the-history-of-malaysias-orang-asli-people#:~:text=Genetic%20studies%20date%20Malaysia's%20Orang,People'%2C%20Malaysia's%20oldest%20inhabitants.
      So yes, we can state that an ancient population moved out of india, into south-east Asia, Papua and Australia, and into the Melanesian islands. So you will probably be wondering how come indians don’t look like them. Well they do, you see alot of indians can be very dark, with broad noses. However, one thing about india is that it is also home to another native population, around 50,000 years ago called the ANI. Both the AASI and ANI mixed to create modern indians. Almost all indians have this mixture, even the tribal areas, but tribal areas have more proportion of AASI. That is why the population of india is so large, because it is the home to the oldest populations. Side note: you guys just listen to the propaganda of Bollywood, which is just run by Arab men, if you see real South Indian movies like Pushpa: the rise, you will see so many Melanesian looking actors because they portray another side of india.

So this link says, ‘they're of the same group as those of Aborigines in Australia and Melanesians of Solomon Islands.’ It also says they have affinities to other southeast-asian groups such as the Orang asli. Now who are the Orang asli, and where are there origins, let’s search this up, go on. Malaysian genetic experts ‘Genetic studies date Malaysia's Orang Asli back to India somewhere between 42,000 to 63,000 years ago’. theculturetrip.com/asia/malaysia/articles/the-history-of-malaysias-orang-asli-people#:~:text=Genetic%20studies%20date%20Malaysia's%20Orang,People'%2C%20Malaysia's%20oldest%20inhabitants.
      So yes, we can state that an ancient population moved out of india, into south-east Asia, Papua and Australia, and into the Melanesian islands. So you will probably be wondering how come indians don’t look like them. Well they do, you see alot of indians can be very dark, with broad noses. However, one thing about india is that it is also home to another native population, around 50,000 years ago called the ANI. Both the AASI and ANI mixed to create modern indians. Almost all indians have this mixture, even the tribal areas, but tribal areas have more proportion of AASI. That is why the population of india is so large, because it is the home to the oldest populations. Side note: you guys just listen to the propaganda of Bollywood, which is just run by Arab men, if you see real South Indian movies like Pushpa: the rise, you will see so many Melanesian looking actors because they portray another side of india.

      Christianity arrived into Fiji in the early 1830's. That was how we adopted Christianity. First wave of Christians from the London Missionary society tried, but the later wave that took our country by storm. It was a move that people cannot explain. Chiefs converted into Christianity and the propensity of Christinity became a new thing that transformed our tiny nation. War clubs plummet and people started converting resulting to thr widely adoption of Christianity.

      Okay, so basically, Fijians, Solomon Islanders, and other Melanesians are a recently diverged group who sailed out of Papua New Guinea around maybe 3kya. So papuans, were one group with Australian aboriginals until the landmass separated, but where did this group come from. We can see who are the closest related groups to papuans using an online search. ‘The genetic makeup of Papuans is primarily derived from Ancient East Eurasians, which relates them to other mainland Asian groups such as the "AASI", Andamanese, as well as East/Southeast Asians’ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_people_of_New_Guinea#:~:text=The%20genetic%20makeup%20of%20Papuans,2%25%2C%20next%20to%20additional%20archaic. For those who do not know, AASI are the Ancient Ancestral South Indian people, which make up about 1/3 to half of most indian DNA today and in some populations higher. So they say they are related to other south-east asian groups. Let’s now fit the puzzle. So the negrito group of Phillipines, the Aeta, have very similar DNA to papuans theculturetrip.com/asia/philippines/articles/the-aeta-the-first-philippine-people#:~:text=According%20to%20historians%2C%20the%20Aetas,and%20Melanesians%20of%20Solomon%20Islands.

    No need to create narratives not backed up by peer reviewed research. Black people have been migrating out of Africa for way over 100,000. There were various waves over long periods of time. Populating much of the entire planet during this time. DNA evidence has already shown a connection between groups of native Americans in South America and Australian aborigines. Black populations traverse far and wide. Fiji is just one of countless places they settled to. So to narrow it down to just one migration and one landing is a stretch not based on existing history and genetic evidence. Our people did extraordinary things, no need to embellish. We are all ONE!!!

    All black people world wide were told they were African. Most indigenous people world wide, including the Pacific didn't agree. The only exception was so called black Americans and Caribbeans. Black Americans have always said they were indigenous American Indians. Most black Americans mother, grandmother was Indian. The history of the Caribbean is exactly the same. For some redo Africans regurgitate why tea European pseudo talking points and pseudo history. Yes a small % of blacks from the Americas have an African ancestry. A large % of blacks in the America came from Europe a d North Africa, this history isn't discussed

      Hi its called kava. It's not alcoholic. It comes from a kava plant. Its dried than grounded up in a cloth and dipped in a bowel of water until the water looks muddy water than drunk. All over Fiji and Polynesia and parts of Meleanesia they drink this. When I go back to Fiji to my village we drink this.

      Black skin, broad nose, and fuller lips aren’t exclusive to sub Saharan Africans. There are indigenous black people in Asia, such as in India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines with very similar features. Same in Oceanian countries such as in Australia and in Fiji. You can specifically look up the people of the Sentinel Islands, Andaman Islands, Aboriginals of Australia, and the Negritos of the Philippines. Yes their phenotype are black however their DNA/genotype ARE NOT African. Black doesn’t always mean from Africa. I’m not sure where this elder is getting this info from, but from the anthropological research I’ve done, Fijians and Sub-Saharan Africans have completely different DNA from each other. You can easily find this info on Google.

      @@user-ox8ix6lf4r Autosomal DNA tracing Doesn't link fijian to east asians, i don't understand why they keep saying that. Fijians, Solomon Islanders, and other Melanesians are a recently diverged group who sailed out of Papua New Guinea around maybe 3kya. So papuans, were one group with Australian aboriginals until the landmass separated, but where did this group come from. We can see who are the closest related groups to papuans using an online search. ‘The genetic makeup of Papuans is primarily derived from Ancient East Eurasians, which relates them to other mainland Asian groups such as the "AASI", Andamanese, as well as East/Southeast Asians’ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_people_of_New_Guinea#:~:text=The%20genetic%20makeup%20of%20Papuans,2%25%2C%20next%20to%20additional%20archaic. For those who do not know, AASI are the Ancient Ancestral South Indian people, which make up about 1/3 to half of most indian DNA today and in some populations higher. So they say they are related to other south-east asian groups. Let’s now fit the puzzle. So the negrito group of Phillipines, the Aeta, have very similar DNA to papuans theculturetrip.com/asia/philippines/articles/the-aeta-the-first-philippine-people#:~:text=According%20to%20historians%2C%20the%20Aetas,and%20Melanesians%20of%20Solomon%20Islands. So this link says, ‘they're of the same group as those of Aborigines in Australia and Melanesians of Solomon Islands.’ It also says they have affinities to other southeast-asian groups such as the Orang asli. Now who are the Orang asli, and where are there origins, let’s search this up, go on. Malaysian genetic experts ‘Genetic studies date Malaysia's Orang Asli back to India somewhere between 42,000 to 63,000 years ago’. theculturetrip.com/asia/malaysia/articles/the-history-of-malaysias-orang-asli-people#:~:text=Genetic%20studies%20date%20Malaysia's%20Orang,People'%2C%20Malaysia's%20oldest%20inhabitants.
      So yes, we can state that an ancient population moved out of india, into south-east Asia, Papua and Australia, and into the Melanesian islands. So you will probably be wondering how come indians don’t look like them. Well they do, you see alot of indians can be very dark, with broad noses. However, one thing about india is that it is also home to another native population, around 50,000 years ago called the ANI. Both the AASI and ANI mixed to create modern indians. Almost all indians have this mixture, even the tribal areas, but tribal areas have more proportion of AASI. That is why the population of india is so large, because it is the home to the oldest populations. Side note: you guys just listen to the propaganda of Bollywood, which is just run by Arab men, if you see real South Indian movies like Pushpa: the rise, you will see so many Melanesian looking actors because they portray another side of india.
