Isa I just finished the four part series and highly recommend everyone getting around to watching all of them.. such precious ancient knowledge handed down through these new technologies…. Vinaka Tumeli for hosting and making this possible, and Vinaka vakalevu Mr Simione Sevudredre for sharing the legacies our tubutubu wish for us to remember, waiting to be awakened in our DNA 🧬⛵️🐍🌊✨🦈🌎🌍🌏
I know very little of my own fijian heritage and fully appreciate this on so many levels. My mother's Saurara family connection are from Suva I know and the small village Langere❤. My Grandfather I was a chief who turned down the role apparently tly reasons being corruption he knew. I have been told of the " witchcraft " side of things and watching this it was so good hear the traditions of the purest forms of spiritual tradition. My mother told me Kava was not suppose to be a social everyday or so I'll hangout as it evokes spirits that can come through based on the value or la k of. Great to know the was a wide variety of tribes who viewed kava diffently. The chewing of the root in some tribes reminds me of souh American forest tribes who knew the same " chewing of their special plant root that would invoke deep connections to the " otherside". ❤Venaka Vaka Levu
Bula, glad to hear that you learnt a lot from the video series. I've got a google folder full of ebooks about Fiji's history so let me know if you want a link.
I would love to be able to learn more from this man, my father would have loved to listen to him! We have ancestors from Lau and Vanua Levu in Fiji. Thank you for hosting this space on deeply meaningful aspects of Pre-Western contact Fiji. Love it!
Loving this, Originally from Rakiraki. Daucina was Damuni who lived upriver from the Old Penang Sugar Mill and the jokes about Naqanaqa if you're single 😂😂
Vinaka vakalevu for this epic knowledge from Sydney. This is amazing information and very relatable to our family especially re: the sau turaga As kids we weren’t taught the meaning and protocols as we were made to align with western culture. So this information is timely and relevant. Thank you so much
Cultural heritage version is interesting. For example; deities/gods for all things; such as farming, fishing, weather etc. Please share evidences of these spirits; such as Daucina, the moving light on the coastal areas? Could you please further the research to the originality of this cultural heritage since wave of migration from Nile region/Eastern Africa
Vinak vakalevu Tumeli kei Qase Simione! We need to decolonize ourselves. The white jesus paining is not jesus! Jesus looked like us look at the bible. We need to stop relying on the bloody West.

Thankyou for this series Tumeli. So interesting. I'm wondering how the priests were chosen? Were they trained for their roles from childhood?
Very interesting,vinaka Simi,tumeli.
I love this..... why didn't they teach this in school.....
Because the school supports a more western model that doesn’t really support our Itaukeiness
Loving the Norse mythology reference
Vinaka guys for the indepth look itaukei pasts and present tradition and protocol.
