Fijian Indigenous Communities

Fijian Indigenous communities, known as iTaukei, are the original inhabitants of Fiji, with a rich cultural heritage rooted in traditional customs, language, and social structures. They primarily engage in subsistence farming, fishing, and communal activities, emphasizing kinship and collective well-being. Their society is organized into clans and tribes, guided by elders and chiefly systems. Indigenous Fijians maintain unique rituals, ceremonies, and arts that preserve their identity. Despite modernization, they continue to uphold their cultural practices and land rights, playing a central role in Fiji’s national identity and social fabric.
