We're now living in a new time here upon the earth, where TRUTH which has been hidden
for so long - is NOW being revealed!!!! 😃
So true
I enjoyed all the Fijian videos, but this is my favorite. The natural environment, the history of origin in Africa, the people, the customs, the culture....all accompanied by nice music....this vlog is art❣️ Beautiful work‼️
That piece of cloth is still worn in swahili coastal regions mainly in kenya, Tanganyika and Zanzibar upto to date.
lmao..it is also worn by South East Asians where Fijians originated

You'll find similar people in Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, PNG, New Caledonia and Papuans of Indonesia. These people are Melanesians of the South Pacific.
I would definitely love to visit this beautiful place! Great video young man!!
Nice vid, watching from Trinidad and Tobago. Thank You.
Is true I have met a Tanzanian bloke whom I thought he was fijian but was from Tanzania.
It is interesting how every colored population around the world knows some historical connection to the African Continent .
Oh my goodness u just sold me on visiting Fiji...everybody smiles so genuinely
Awesome video my Brother 🙏.Bula vinaka from Fiji🇫🇯🇫🇯
I wish someday the Chinese will accept and coexist with people of dark skin, just as the lovely people of Fiji have bestowed upon them. Thank you, bro Sid, you've opened a wonderful book of dialogue for all to read and acknowledge. Importantly, I'm so glad most Fijians accept their roots from the Great Nation of Africa, Tanganyika (Tanzania) to be precise.
It's simply wonderful Sid.. this video about Fijian customs and traditions..
I intend to visit Fiji some time soon.. a wish I've had since my teenage years..
Thank so, so much..
Keep well and going strong.. Best wishes and high regards..

Enjoy meeting and learning about different people and their cultures on Your channel! Always makes me smile! Thank you!
I went to Fiji back in 2008,I had such a great time there,friendly people and beautiful culture.
Beauty in the people & land. Thank you my Fijian Brothers and Sisters for sharing!!!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Tres tres tres interessant .we need more video like this. Thanks for all your hard work to keep our people connected 🙏. Merci infiniment.
very respectful, pleasant and sweet people
Beautiful cultural video. Thank you.
Woow!! Are they having a historical connection with us(Tanzanians)? because Tanganyika was a former name of Tanzania that was before being united with Zanzibar Island..
no, theyre from 100,000 ago imigrations
no historical connections ..thank you
@@bai252 No, I read that a number of Fijians say they’re descendants of East Africans.
@@shannacollins8371 Oh! Thanks 4 giving me another evidence that clearly proves their origin.
@@shannacollins8371link please.. that was preached to them by the colonizers..I'm Fijian and I know I'm not from Africa
I like your vidéos from. Haiti
Great Video 💕
Very very nice nice video mate
Beautiful, would love to visit Fiji one day !
It's my understanding that the ancestors of Melanesians left Africa tens of thousands of years ago, so either the Tanzanian region was referred to as Tanganyika that long ago (which would be amazing) or the ancestors of modern Fijians left Africa more recently than we realize.
I know the same tradition, must be true.
that is false
Fiji looks like a mix of Africa and the Caribbean.
Yes oooo. Fiji have the hallmarks of Tanzania all over it. Pls ask them what they think of Africa and if they'll like to find out their ancestral roots in Africa & to visit Africa?
@@apdapd7568 Yeah true that!! I'm Tanzanian, when you look at the housing structures there's so much similarities.
@@maryambrahim82 Of course yes, even one of them confirmed & confessed into the same Vid that they came from Tanzania when it was still Tanganyika back in a days.
@@Jamie-zp7bb lakini hatufundishwa kwenye historia yetu
@@fadhiliromwald Ni kweli kabisa unachosema hatukufundishwa hili na mengineyo mengi tu!!. Lakini historia yetu iliegemea zaidi Afrika Mashariki, magharibi, ya kati, kusini pamoja na biashara ya Utumwa, maana syllabus hizo ndizo Waalimu wetu walizofundishwa pia wao wakatufundisha na sisi. Nilikutana na Mmarekani mweusi mmoja akaniambia wao hufundishwa mtaala wa historia ya ulimwengu mzima ikiwemo ya Tanzania pia. Na hata akanieleza historia ya Ugiriki(Greece) ki ukweli sikuweza kubisha. Nikatambua sisi hatukufundishwa hata historia ya Afrika Kaskazini, Asia, australia, Middle East, Visiwa vya Caribbean, Marekani kwenyewe nk. pamoja na tawala zao. Historia yenye uthibitisho wa kweli ni ya kuwasikiliza kizazi cha wahusika au walengwa maana hao ndo wanaifahamu historia yao kiundani zaidi ya wale wanaosoma kwenye vitabu tu. Hapa ninaishi na mtu mmoja kutokea Gabon alinieleza kwamba wao ni kabila dogo liitwalo Mitsogho ndani ya gabon ambalo wamepakana na Congo, Brazzaville, alisema "asili ya babu zake walitokea Ziwa Tanganyika upande wa tanzania kwenye karne ya 19, walivyoondoka wengine waliishia njiani ktk nchi ya Congo ambao sasa ni kabila linaitwa Lengola, kupitia lugha yao Kilengola kikazaliwa kilingala ambacho ni mchanganyiko wa lugha yao ya asili, Kibantu kidogo pamoja na lugha ya Kifaransa."
Halafu kuna jamii ya Siddis wahindi weusi ambao nao wanasema pia asili/chimbuko lao ni Tanganyika ile ya mkoloni, ila hii jamii ya Siddis sijaifanyia research kwa undani zaidi. Fuatilia zaidi hizi Link 👉🏾th-cam.com/video/ped-uIlw_24/w-d-xo.html | th-cam.com/video/-T0kHqa-hVU/w-d-xo.html | th-cam.com/video/WJRBIJREEHU/w-d-xo.html
Nice video
Thank you so much😊
I had an encounter with an African woman one day after church I was at a bus stop this woman walked right up to my face sooo close I screamed at her and asked what she was doing then she backed away she asked me if I bleached my skin she knew that I was from Fiji I said to her we Fijians are proud of our skin color why would we want to do anything like that it is dangerous to your health then she said that in Africa they bleach their skin I said that is so sad.
We're all natural anyways so no wonder she might have been slightly ignorant 😂
@1st class E.U.Isle[St Bart]-FrenchWestIndies It's a good thing we don't see things that way here in Fiji, I just don't get the bleaching thing when we literally come in all shapes, sizes, and skin tones as Pacific Islanders.
We don't even see color, only the person and the type of character they are and their native country regardless if they're white, black, yellow or whatever. Although I can see why skin color is an obsession and a big deal outside Fiji in other parts of the world.
@1st class E.U.Isle[St Bart]-FrenchWestIndies Even if one did try to explain, they'll probably accuse you for "sounding like a white person" or "you sound like a colonial blah blah blah" kind of excuse, almost sounding Afrocentric.
No use reasoning with them anyways with people so insecure and ignorant about other melanated people who don't even share that mindset despite the obvious difference between being African and originating from Africa.
Welcome to my Island 😀
Africans indigenous all over the World...much love beautiful Brothers and Sisters from South Africa 🇿🇦❤🌎⚫✊
that is false
Black people in the world mamá África IS Big mama .
Very interesting.
Somehow....I cannot imagine any crime or anti -social behaviour in this village. Just look at all of this greenery, beach and peaceful life, no stress
LOL..if only!!
@@115dancingqueen I assume you are from the village....enlighten us with the reality lol
Most of them are in naboro planting kasava😁
Beautiful people! Beautiful home!
I’m Fijian and I really want to go see Tanzania where my ancestors come from
Made up story by the British at colonial time, not true
that is false
Beautiful video and thank you for teaching us. I like the little boy running to help with the boat.
Did you see or hear anything about any traditional spiritual practices there?
As a Christian country, we don't do that anymore like back in the day although there are certain places in the villages considered "sacred" that trespassing can bring you bad luck since it's a spot where the forefathers left their mark.
Spiritual practices ?? ..that's a big NO ..but there's a few somewhere still practicing it secretly
Melenesians, Australia Aboriginals and Andaman Islanders were probably the first waves of migrations out of Africa.
don't you love their beautiful blonde hair & blue eyes...can't be from africa, no way
12:50 antie was ready to risk it all... On camera 📸
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
The Truth will always be the Truth.
🙏
Que lugares gostosos...transmitem PAZ....
Kiswahili is just a language adopted by people around Tanganyika, the babembe of Fizi in D.R.C they say "Bile", in Fiji there you guys say "Bula".
So true one blood FijiAfrrica 💯♥️♥️
The whole world was covered with darkness.
I'm a Fijian living in England ,UK and respect the different views on this video.But people have to understand that Fijians and other black pacific islanders have their own national identity,language,history and culture.We are living in the here and now and proud of where we come from ,we don't need validation of what it is to be black by African blacks.Africa doesn't have the monopoly of what it means to be black.I respect black people whether in Africa,America and the Carribean.We are not better than you we are just different.
Bro IDC what anyone says there were 100% black people in this video. The elder at the end was clearly a black human, which is so beautiful 😍. The girl is so beautiful aswell. Very Very beautiful people. God bless them. Bulla bulla 😂
👍🏾👍🏾👋🏾

Stallion xxx, I’m going to need for you to stop harassing/stalking my comments via TH-cam. I am not interested in conversing with you so please stop commenting towards me and being rude.
what"s the effect of climate change on Fijians?
You think they care. It's a western Propaganda.
Water is warmer, so can swim longer
In Africa, in this Taqanaika region,
dwelt for a long time warrior group of people called the "Viti "
People Africa king them very well
tanzania is tan from tanganyka plus zan from zanzibar plus ia
@Visualpoet1 You are into something great!
No life vest on the boat?
LOL . They'll laugh at you if you ask for a life vest there . Unless you're going with one of those professional cruises , no one wears life vest .
The water is warm and they all can swim 🏊♂️ 😀
They’re born on an island,I think they warrant not owning life vests 😂😂

For your information my friend , Fijians don't have roots in Africa. DNA and it's language points to Taiwan. Fijians use the Tagalog vowels when they speak. It's origins trace back to Asia namely Taiwan. This vowels is strongly used in Japan as well. The Tagalog vowels which is also used across the Polynesia archipelago is (A,E,I,O,U) which for a start does not exist in any part of Africa. Secondly , our DNA which is the ultimate proof shows no direct link to Africa but Asia and the South Pacific and in most cases , Amazon. If there was any DNA link , then it would probably be a one off night stand type thing. People in Fiji are not well informed of this issue because they rely on hear say stories over kava or similar type setting and make decisions based on similar vowel sounds as suggested with the "Tanganyika" fib where in our language, it's pronounced " Tagani-ika).Two separate words describing fish in a sack and not one straight word which would have sound Taqanika (Notice the "Q" in this spelling) as oppose to the above from Africa. Our DNA points to Asia where our numbers are so similar to that of Taiwan , Filipinas , down to Indonesia. None of it exist in any part of Africa. Our double decked canoes in the past use to carry more than 3000 men and women. Their features probably changed somewhere between Indonesia and Melanesia. Though Fijians look like Melanesian's,( Dark Skinned ) their culture and language are that of Polynesia.(Lighter Skinned) Melanesians don't have chiefly systems and protocols as those in Polynesia like The Kingdom Tonga for an example. Melanesia just have like some sort of a headman's of its group similar to a chief but that's all there is to it, A chief. Watching this video makes me sad because of the mis information these market vendors are carrying around as if it's true when It's not. That tour guide lady was totally oblivious to the potential damage she could be causing us Fijians to the outside world. Govt needs to put laws in place to control those type's of promotions where an inexperienced individual is involved. I am saying this from a sincere heart who has business interest in Fiji as well. I have shown this video to friends and so far one even responded with disgust and said that lady doesn't even know the Fintel building but she knows how to rot a tourist. On the same token, your video is the first where I've seen someone mention the term 'Black" Fijians. It's usually Melanesians or Polynesians. We weren't slaves in history but fierce warriors who established itself in Fiji some thousand years back and which was called" Fisi" by the Tongans or "Viti" in Fijian. These three countries are related one way or the other, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji. I hope this should shed some light as who we truly we are as Fijians. Have nothing against Africans either but rather not allow people carrying on fib hear say stories where it has become somewhat real to those market vendors. Goodness knows how far those stories have gone. Please stick to the DNA and vowels theory as proof, that's all. Peace.
Here's one proof of many th-cam.com/video/ex603AVm3TE/w-d-xo.html
Bro shut up and just enjoy the vid
Lol this is lying. Melanesians have always been characterized as Black. There are a number of Fijians who tell the story of migrating from East Africa. You’re just anti-Black.
@@shannacollins8371 Your answers will only convince those like you with low IQ, That is all you know. The race card to justify your pont. Get a life!
You have Roots of Africa or not anyway WE knows afrika id our motherland
I think for some peoples have a africans Roots it's a shame but i'm proud to.be senegalese and black from Africa
Just a case of plain false nonsense.
There is no DNA proof of any of the claims in this video.
Laqai tha!
Kaise Loa Loa.
iko ga via kaivalagi tiko. boce! na demu sa ciri tu ga Mai na koro
Because u know more than they do right. Their ancesoes passed down where they come from
Their ancestors did not pass down such info … where they came from did not have a proper name when the first canoes sailed towards Viti. Use ya brain 🤦♂️
They don't have African dna. If that is true I would have seen some curves
Loa loa tim qan
they are africans how much the europeans and chineses are africans
that is false
@@rednovember266 is a simple truth
They're no more genetically related to Africans than Euro/Caucasians are. They're closer to Asians genetically. We all originated in Africa, but Oceanic people left Africa 50,000 years ago, making Europeans genetically closer to Africa than Fijians. Good series though
But why do they resemble africans and not asians?
@@trendafile6356 global positioning and climates that are similar... genetic mutations
@@trendafile6356 native asians looked no different to them prior to modern asian invasion. Climate isn't the reason. That's just an excuse used by political scientists to 1) propagate nativitiy of non native people their current location 2) distract from admitting pale skin and eyes is a genetic mutation and not climate dependent. But who wants to admit their modern mutants?
Anthropological findings found many a times eurasians were a different race of brown skin/black haired people until around 3000yrs where modern pale skin eurasians began invading into their modern "homeland".
@@25oxendine you do realize you sound like a troll right? its ok I don't blame you for you don't know better. if you just use your eyes you'll notice that them fijians LOOK a lot more closer to Africans then the whites you speak off. what on earth are you smoking? global positioning really? lmao Stop trying to control the narrative by stringing words together and using semantics.
@@25oxendine That is not true, there are many different peoples/races living in the same climate zones. The specific african features of black skin, arfo hair is unique to a specific set of people
We're not Afro Fijians!. We are the "itaukei" owner of the Fiji Islands and the real Native Fijians .
Yes! You are original Fijians!
Fight to make sure your future generations know they are Autochthonous to Figi!
agree , beautiful afros & dark skin
i am a fijian and we're not from africa... fcuk your insinuation that we are africans..
And that makes you so angry? You could simply explain your version without cursing. You made it sound as if being from the continent of Africa is a horrible thing. But what you should know if not learn is tha AFRICA is the cradle of humanity. ALL homosapiens are from there .
your right, i mistake you for german or english man 😁
