- 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. - บันเทิง

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
Waoh! They do the same as we used to do in Tanzania, especially in special occasions like this
In Africa, in this Taqanaika region, dwelt for a long time warrior group of people called the ' Viti ' people Africa king them very well
Tanganyika, today is Tanzania. We have a place known as RUFIJI in Tanzania. Welcome home
Yep, so the people they met there were unable to pronounce RUFIJI, and pronounced the last 4 alphabets FIJI. Now I know why they are wearing the piece of cloth on their waist, in Tanzania we call it MSULI its a dress code of coastal regions from Somalia to South of Tanzania.

I'll be happy when you take into consideration my request through my contact which I left for you at above there
have a wonderful time
I remember this vlogger vividly. He introduced me to the Siddis of India many years ago. Thank you for educating me.
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.
Very true,our people traversed all regions and settled without interruption till the aliens invaded.

Black Egyptians living in America are classified as white. Well, I would rather listen to the Fijians themselves as they're the custodians of their own history. How do you force a history upon a people that are telling you otherwise?

Hello visualpoet1, I am happy you have done this to bring these beautiful videos of FIJI to the people who have no idea that Fiji and all of the islands spread out around the World were once and in some cases still are first occupied by AFRICANS, even HAWAII. Never mind those "trolls" and hypocrites that are claiming something else, their agenda is well known. Funny isn't it that the very first people on the face of the Earth and the longest before anyone else are being told that others told us where we came from, or that they were here before us. Completely laughable, since they all come from us!
that is false

Do more interview him with the locals people not only the guides,we need more of their stories from the elders.
Did someone say elder's?..Do you want to risk it? There's a lot in here already. From windsor castle to Touguehernicker.
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.
As an African living in Fiji I can tell you I’ve heard all these stories about African connections but the reality and treatment on the ground is different..
Yip....they're only stories, not reality
Thanks you very much my brother

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.
Fijian karibu Africa one love
What I may say to Fijian Elders they should collect their history vividly by travelling to Tanzania and visit Rufiji District to know morenof their ancestoe and culture. Unfortunate, many old age people wull be not there but at least they will be able to be there physically and compare the culture. Tanzania is a peaceful country and they can come as tourists through companies so that they can secure a guide.

I admire the Fijian for holding on to their strong strict culture. I am a Melanesian from PNG, but some of our culture has been mixed and poluted by western culture, and we are reaping the consequences of that right now.
Trust, we have lost a lot of our culture as well but we are holding on to whatever that is left and trying to keep it alive. Tradition is very well alive in the villages but not so much in the cities (mixed population, further diluting the gene pool and culture)

We are Fijians not afro-Fijians .Use the correct term.Africans have to realise we have our own national identity,language,history and culture.We don't need your validation on what it is to be black and you don't have the monopoly on what black is.Accept and respect there are other black people in the world with their own racial cultural identities, like you would expect them to respect yours.I respect all the different black peoples whether African,American,Caribbean and Pacific Islander.No one is better than anyone ,we are all different.
But they are African descent
That is your opinion.Different experts will say different things such as a link to Australia or Eastern Timor or Papua New Guinea.Some even say the southern part of India.Who is right?Who do you believe?How far do you want to go back in time?
Africa belongs to Africa and Fiji belongs to Fiji.Accept and respect the differences.
calm down relax caita
Genetically Fijians are almost 50/50 Melanesian and Polynesian with mostly our YDNA from Melanesia and our MTDNA from Polynesia. So what that means is our Melanesian Dads were sleeping with our Polynesian mums and making fijian babies.
I know e, most people don't get it that Fiji Poly/ Mela bcos the island is a mixture of both Polynesian and Melanesian settlers that birthed the Fijian race. Which is seen in Fijian Language and Culture
Jusr what i had been theorizing all along ! Just think of Fiji as having a Polynesian Mum & Melanesian Dad... our culture bears no resemblance to Africa periodt.
Dna don't mean sheee. You have many different genetic markers in black Africans also

The video is very informative...I have a question: How did they become Christian?
Mostly French Missionaries.
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.

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
If you walking through a village you have to take your hats and caps off.
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!!!

TANGAYIKA, SALUTE 👉🏾✊🏾👍🏾✌🏾✌🏾

The people of West Africa are originally Talai Mwerabuto - a group of Talai under the leadership of Mwerabuto. Mwerabuto in English means Father God.
Lutunasobasoba came from Tanganyika Ruah river fiji or Rufiji river
Rara or Raga means God House. A tradition of the Talai People.
Ravenga means God and Spirit House. Africa is God and Spirit House. America is God and Spirit House. Russia is God and Spirit House.
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
Great coverage brother, well done really well done. Very educational, jaaraama
Judea I heard of your people
, ♥️♥️ Thanks for your efforts please. We miss Kanataka India. Thanks again for sharing. 🙏🙏
My theory is 50% of South pacific islanders originated from Madagascar. If all humans come from Africa, Madagascar has to be home to all Austronesian cultures. I'm probably wrong but it makes sense to me
That is wrong humanity started from the middle East
Austronesians moved to what is Madagascar then the East Africans around the 1st B.C. Early humans skin color didn't change for a very long and those that populated the South Pacific probably arrived around 50 to 70,000 years ago.
@@ShadoW_yt532 yet the oldest genes for modern humans is in East and Southern Africa. The Levant is next door so there was gene flow back and forth to Africa over a very long period of time.
yeah i think it's the other way around
1st century cushites from Ethiopia settle in Tanganyika
10 century AD. about this time the fable of fijian from Tanganyika
It fable that about this the powerful chief Lutunasobasoba and his people followed the trade cross the Indian Ocean trevilling south east Asia settled Fiji Island pacific Island sea .
Beautiful.....
I am AA and I have slanted eyes..... Asian men ask me if I am Asian and I say not that I know of..... of course with a smile...
A lot of AA have slanted eyes .They come from Africa. There are a lot of Africans with slanted eyes .One of the groups are the Khoisans of South Africa.
@@kennethwilliams6415 True dat
Aren't Fijians native to the land?
Just like you to yours , why?
No first arrival and ship wreck ships and run away slaves. To divide fiji politically fleeing British told them you are natives and Indians were here to work temporarily and you "native fijian" should chase these Indians back to India and make laws in fiji to under mind Indians growth in education politics business but its seems to fail all the time and now Chinese are taking over lol. But fiji islands is a very spiritual 🙏 place both in fijian and Indians sense. Only if people come together Fiji could be a force and not just beautiful place for honeymooners
@@praneshsingh7840 Fijians were not slaves to anyone. Stop spreading lies. Slaves were in the ship Leonidas from calcutta called "coolies" where your great grand Puttee is from. Coups in fiji actually started from people like you who cause trouble. Get a life!
@@carl0985 no facts, white men tells lies you believe coups started by people like me ok, dont mess with wrong Indian because this time we gona bring mercenaries army. by the way your name Carl sounds white

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
@Nagin-zt6sc Speak for yourself. And where's your evidence? In the academic world, if you question anybody, you have to bring evidence.
Most people screech and scream just because their feelings are hurt, and usually, they have limited understanding of the subject.
Correct. You questioned me, Where's your evidence that debunks me? You haven't disagreed with NO evidence, have you???
can i ask you what they are drinkin from that cup alchohol..?
It's called Kava, but I don't know if it's alcoholic. Google can help with that part, LOL.
@@RosalindGash THNX
It is alcoholic
@@africaine4889 OKE THANKX
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.
I'm really trying to understand why fijians have such similar feautures as africans, afro/kinky hair, broader noses, fuller lips, i'm not saying they're relates or the same, I'm just trying to know why they look so similar. Care to explain anyone?
Because they and all people in the pacific islands are the ancestors of modern east asians.
@@user-ox8ix6lf4rthat doesn’t explain why they look like Africans
@@Knockout_KINGZbecause we are Africans lmao we are hybrid race
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.
Circumcision custom is sign
Fijian originally came from Tanganyika Africa
I would love to tour a country with you as the guide. Your ability to connect with our people is truly a gift.
Please take me too my sister
My understanding of human evolution states that people from Fiji, Tonga, New Zealand, Australia and Oceania in general descended from Asians living in east/south east Asia.
Meaning these afro whatever of eastern southern island came from Africa too. Oou ancestors were taken as slave or work on the ships. No question look at their features, skin colour and kinky hair.
Do they look Asian? No! Fijians true history has been hidden from them! In the name of ....COLONISATION... Christianity False interpretation been for forced to them buy the colonizers.. Fiji is where everything started. The first creation of Humans! They were returning back from Africa to the Mother Land and landed in Vuda!
@@jnavsslick3764 do they look Africans to you? I don't see Africans with their features or hair. You people crazy.

Bula, Fijians originated from Africa.
The Talai People were already in Visi ( Fiji today). Their leader is Talai Visi, the name the islands got its name. A group from Africa did arrived later more on the western side of Viti Levu. They were originally Talai too returning from Africa.
@@edgelltari1141 yeah.. They never come from Africa.. Its the other way around

Thank you, Ronnie and elders! You are very intelligent! I learned a lot. Thank you, Visual "Educator" 1, for gifting us with real Fijian culture and tradition and not western commercialization! I like that the way you come into the village is the way you go out. Order is important. Are there traditional words for "Fiji", as well as different languages and dialects there?
Yes there are dialects but all very similar to each other. The common dialect understood by all is Bauan,
@@115dancingqueen Thank you. I will have to Google or learn Fujian history or how the dialects came about.
