Taqa-na-ika origins of Fijians. Pacific Island oral tradition of their AFRICAN Origins.

TRADITIONAL STORY FROM FIJI TELLING THEIR ORIGINS AVAILABLE TO READ BELOW.

NO WESTERN THEORIES ARE PRESENTED HERE—ONLY THE FACTUAL, TRADITIONAL EVIDENCE FROM THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.


Dr. Runoko Rashidi is a Historian who was respectful enough to visit the Fiji islands and ask the indigenous Fijians themselves about their oral traditions of where they came from. This oral tradition is eagerly and disrespectfully attempted to be dismissed as POSSIBLY being a hoax by Western linguists and anthropologists, supposedly started by the missionaries in the 1800's, even though the claim is without sufficient evidence. Meanwhile, the scientific industry still continues to ignore and hush Fijian accounts while replacing it with a fabrication of carefully selected and carefully omitted genetic, cultural, linguistic, and archeological data, in an attempt to carefully piece together a false "South East Asian Origin" that appears credible; while genetic, cultural, linguistic, and archeological data linking them to the rest of Cushite peoples in Africa, are neglected, hushed, and hidden safely away in the lower bunkers of European Museums.
There are MANY versions of the Fijian account that mention places of origin and In Africa many of us still know those places. Here is one version of the story told to me by Fijians who have been careful to keep it.

1ST ARRIVALS: Boat= Rogovoka/Lolopeau (From Egypt)

"This boat/canoe belonged to the Yavusa Malea who also named the boat for themselves as Lolopeau. This is the largest vessel of the people. It is said that on this arrival, the ancestors who touched down here first were from the Middle East and traveled to Africa. The region of Thebes (Cepi) was where they lived and settled.

Names in this group:

Rawaka-Ni-Vugalei (Born in Egypt).
His wife Ra dini Sina (Egyptian woman)
Their two children: Koya Nasau and Tui-Wai.
Kubunavanua and his wife Sina
Their children: Ravula, Kolimatua and Delainauluvatu.
Tura or Tera (Father of Lutunasobasoba & Kubunavanua)Head of Qali-Kamami Tribe
Kubunavanua and the wives of his two sons, Tuinayavu and Daunisai.

Taqa-na-ika was only down the African coastline. They came towards the horizon where the sun rises (Asia). This first boat would sail right across from coastline right across to the tip of Southern India. Then made a loop where they may have encountered the islands of Indonesia today, left people behind, and from there island hopped to Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and possibly gone right across to the Tahitian Islands, rested for some time before they tracked backwards and stopped when Kubunavanua and his wife Sina got off in Toga and called their island Vunilagi. Also getting off with them was a chief of the Yavusa Malea TuiToga who got off with a wife he got in Tahiti called Siuepe/Sinhe, and the island he got off on he called Toga.

2nd ARRIVALS: Boat= Kaunitoni (From Taqa-na-ika)

In this boat came part of the Family of the Qali-Kamami tribe of whom Tura was head. They were from Taqa-ni-ika and the group from Vuda. This was led by Lutunasobasoba, Turas son, from Verata. Also with them were the Kawa Ni Tama-Lailai or descendants of the small people who were part of this voyage.

Names in this group:

Lutunasobasoba Na Ratu and his two wives, Ranadinisei and Nai.
Radiniseis children namely: Buisavulu, Rokomautu, and Rokoratu.
Nais children namely, Degei, Waicala, Nakumilevu, Ramasilevu, Kirinamoli, Coci, and Rokola.
Lutunasobasobas grand-children including Kailolo, Muneanaqo.
The Kawa Ni Tama-lailai (little people)

They left to follow Lutunasobasobas dad Tura and his brother Kubunavanua traveling around the tip of Southern Africa where they experienced hardship at sea. They then following the same route as Tura and hit the same southern tip of India, then left and hit Papua New Guinea. From here they set out again accidentally during this trip the boat rocks and they loose a lot of the cargo including the kato ni vola (stone casket) which carried all the history of the peoples, the details of their religion, knowledge of the world, and Rokolas yaya ni matai (building equipment). It is said that this encouraged the art of oral history. Eventually they hit Vuda Fiji.

3rd ARRIVALS BoatKaunitera(Toga)

Names in this group:

This was Kubunavanua
His Wife Sina
Their four sons Kolimatua, Ravula, Delainauluvatu, and Suretiviti.
They had first landed in Toga during the trip on the Rogovoka/Lolopeau. He was the younger son of Tura(Tera).

He heard about islands to the north that were big and heard that his relative Lutunasobasoba had set up over there, so he decided to move north with his wife and sons. They came over and landed at Burotukula. Their descendants are from what is today the Yatu Lau, the Eastern Group.

Thanks this was awesome...I'm a Melanesian of the South Pacific and I have always wondered where my people came from, definately we must have come from Africa although Western Education teaches us we're more related to the Asians than Africans genetically...But our physical characteristics are African than Asian....Personally I don't believe that I am related to Asians I think am African and I hope oneday the Melanesian People will come to know their true history..

[thotsins]

@143Pacifika As far as the Taiwan link, Taiwanese aborigines say their ancestors came from the SOUTH, NOT vice versa, so again the western industry is misleading when they say the migration was from taiwan & traveled down to the pacific. It came from indonesia & traveled north up to Taiwan & south in all directions to the pacific islands. The method of travel by African mariners was to travel close along the coasts of continents. The purpose was for colonization and resources.

I'm Fijian and proud of it in a humble way cuzzy... I don't care whether we came from africa or asia or the bottom of the ocean... Maybe Africans came from Fiji? haha jks. Just wanna say, you want the most cannibalistic people on earth (according to the 'history channel' bull-crap) to be related to you? Mate, if you are that proud of us, go right ahead and claim us... I'm stoked to see someone be proud of a people whose ferocious past is drenched in blood... Moce-jo my Bro!

[thotsins]

@APItjturner98 There is no such thing as "having African in them" cuz Africa is just a term to define a geographical location, not an ethnicity. You'd have to say not all pacific islanders have black or "Khami" in them due to extensive mixing; and yes, that would be a true statement.

[TheOpinionatedDude]

look at them, if you believe these people in the islands came from Asia, then you are a freakin idiot. Its so obvious that they have African origins.

[belauidid]

This is interesting...

[143Pacifika]

@thotsins your right sis...am black and they tell me am Asian LMFO....

[thotsins]

@143Pacifika In Africa, we traditionally interweave our identity into our cultural traditions. This is how we're able to recognize who is kin even if our families split. They're like secret codes that only we know & use. "Mongoloids" don't know them, so when we see these things that are very specific to us in the south pacific, we automatically KNOW that's family.

It's like you said, from bark cloth, money spraying, to tahitian dance etc.—"Mongoloids" don't do these—ONLY AFRICA.

[thotsins]

@143Pacifika Westerners have yet to explain how is it that a people from a puny, tiny island like Taiwan that are supposedly of the same "mongoloid" stock as mainland asians came to suddenly develop a culture that is completely different from the rest of mainland "mongoloids"—yet, is far more identical to African cultures & languages than there fellow mainland "mongoloids"?

I wonder what bogus fairy tale westerners will coin with fraudulent scientific evidence to explain that one.

[thotsins]

@143Pacifika Yes, very true, westerners suggest the "mongoloid" side of asian culture is what spawned the pacific languages & cultures, supposedly coming from Taiwan, & coining some made up term for it called "austronesian." But yet pacific island culture is not consistent in similarity to all "mongoloid" asian culture within the whole mainland continent of asia—yet, rather, with whole continent of Africa—it is!

[143Pacifika]

@thotsins I beleive you mainland Asia has a total different culture from the islands..Islanders were known to be cannibals, headhunters and aggressive in nature...who In mainland Asia ran around half naked with only grass skirts lol, only in Africa and the islands...

[143Pacifika]

@thotsins I think your right most Melanesians look like a mixture of East Asian and African, but not all there are, some that look like pure Africans without any admixture at all

[143Pacifika]

@thotsins I'm glad the people in Fiji know when they came to the Pacific , I hope it is the same for all of us, but sadly not all islanders know their historty....Someone should publish a book or do something about this...
