The Nodraivakaruru Mataqali of remote Kadavu, Fiji

Come with me while I explore the remote tribal life of Fiji Island, Kadavu.
Kadavu is south of main Fiji and over 72 remote Mataqaluli live there. It's a wild place still. I also GoPro a remote waterfall cave, a Kava ceremony, my Jungle warrior girlfriend and other cool adventure finds.
What is mataqali in Fijian?
A mataqali (pronounced [mataŋˈɡali]) is a Fijian clan or landowning unit.

Tribe ...is so archaic a word...(tribal warfare in the past)...and sort of denotes war....communities or clan..or in the vernacular,..mataqali is the correct reference...

[@jaxcooper11]

Thank you 🙏

[@jaxcooper11]

Yaqona is not supposed to be drunk any how and in any manner. It is a root of a plant that is to be mixed and properly presented. Dau jili na i sevusevu. You are a guest to a very old land. So your arrival has to be done by ceremony first then you can proceed with whatever adventure or outdoor activities you intend to do. So, that good fortune and security (unseen) follows you about.

Thank you so much for the wisdom. I love learning

DimereseiniN RobbyRavouvou..Nodraivakaruru is from Kadavu koro,Naceva district,Kadavu in South Fiji.
And Naicobocobo was another name for Nasautabu sandbank in Davetalevu waters Moturiki.Yeah the name Naicobocobo was taken by Tura when he fled the cannibalism practicesd at Davetalevu I vanua(Uluibau Moturiki) to Bua.Other names he took to Bua was Vunilagi(another name for Vuniivilevu or Davetalevu),Rukuruku,Nakorovatu,Solevu,Naivi-qiri and Talau(an ancient land name in Navuti Moturiki is named after where he was laid to rest on Delai-se-o-tura,Bua.)..Those were ancient names nd words(Rukuruku means i tikotiko) in Moturiki.
Even the name of Buatavatavas son called Vusonilawe(also known as Naulumatua ll)who ended up leading the Naturuku people of Lomaloma Vanua Balavu was an ancient chief/kings Name of Davetalevu i vanua(Uluibau Moturiki) called Vusonilawe. He(Vusonilawe) was mentioned in a traditional lamentation of Uluibau called "Vau",still sung nowadays by women of Uluibau Moturiki. And the name Naturuku which he led in Lomaloma,Vanua Balavu is the name(Naturuku) of the piece of land where the 1500BC Mana Lady's skeleton was found on Uluibau coast,Moturiki.But the usp students just wrote that place as Naitabale(which is the channel of water that came from inland nd flows across the white sandy beach to the sea).
