It is believed that either the <a href="/wiki/Lapita_culture" title="Lapita culture">Lapita people</a> or the ancestors of the Polynesians settled the islands first, but not much is known of what became of them after the Melanesians arrived; the old culture may have had some influence on the new one, and archaeological evidence shows that some of the migrants moved on to <a href="/wiki/Samoa" title="Samoa">Samoa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tonga" title="Tonga">Tonga</a> and even <a href="/wiki/Hawaii" title="Hawaii">Hawai'i</a>. Archeological evidence also shows signs of human settlement on <a href="/wiki/Moturiki" title="Moturiki">Moturiki Island</a> beginning at least by 600 BC and possibly as far back as 900 BC. Although some aspects of Fijian culture are similar to the <a href="/wiki/Melanesia" title="Melanesia">Melanesian</a> culture of the western Pacific, Fijian culture has a stronger connection to the older <a href="/wiki/Polynesian_culture" title="Polynesian culture">Polynesian cultures</a>. The evidence is clear that there was trade between Fiji and neighbouring archipelagos long before <a href="/wiki/Europeans" class="mw-redirect" title="Europeans">Europeans</a> made contact with Fiji. </p><p>In the 10th century, the <a href="/wiki/Tu%CA%BBi_Tonga_Empire" title="Tuʻi Tonga Empire">Tu'i Tonga Empire</a> was established in Tonga, and Fiji came within its sphere of influence. The Tongan influence brought Polynesian customs and language into Fiji. That empire began to decline in the 13th century. </p><p>Fiji has long had permanent settlements, but its peoples also have a history of mobility. Over the centuries, unique Fijian cultural practices developed. Fijians constructed large, elegant watercraft, with rigged sails called <i><a href="/wiki/Drua" title="Drua">drua</a></i> and exported some to Tonga. Fijians also developed a distinctive style of village architecture, consisting of communal and individual <a href="/wiki/Bure_(Fiji)" title="Bure (Fiji)"><i>bure</i></a> and <i>vale</i> housing, and an advanced system of ramparts and moats that were usually constructed around the more important settlements. Pigs were domesticated for food, and a variety of agricultural endeavors, such as <a href="/wiki/Banana_plantations" class="mw-redirect" title="Banana plantations">banana plantations</a>, existed from an early stage. Villages were supplied with water brought in by constructed wooden aqueducts. Fijians lived in societies led by chiefs, elders and notable warriors. Spiritual leaders, often called <i>bete</i>, were also important cultural figures, and the production and consumption of <a href="/wiki/Kava" title="Kava"><i>yaqona</i></a> was part of their ceremonial and community rites. Fijians developed a monetary system where the polished teeth of the <a href="/wiki/Sperm_whale" title="Sperm whale">sperm whale</a>, called <i>tambua</i>, became an active currency. A type of writing existed which can be seen today in various petroglyphs around the islands.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Fijians developed a refined <a href="/wiki/Tapa_cloth" title="Tapa cloth"><i>masi</i> cloth</a> textile industry, and used the cloth they produced to make sails and clothes such as the <i>malo</i> and the <i>liku</i>. As with most other ancient human civilisations, warfare or preparation for warfare was an important part of everyday life in pre-colonial Fiji. The Fijians were noted for their distinctive use of weapons, especially war clubs.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Fijians used many different types of clubs that can be broadly divided into two groups, two handed clubs and small specialised throwing clubs called <i>ula</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Le_Tour_du_monde-01-p200.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Le_Tour_du_monde-01-p200.jpg/220px-Le_Tour_du_monde-01-p200.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Le_Tour_du_monde-01-p200.jpg/330px-Le_Tour_du_monde-01-p200.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3f/Le_Tour_du_monde-01-p200.jpg/440px-Le_Tour_du_monde-01-p200.jpg 2x" data-file-width="802" data-file-height="602" /></a><figcaption>Bure-kalou or temple, and scene of cannibalism</figcaption></figure><p>With the arrival of Europeans in the 17th century, and European colonization in the late 19th century, many elements of Fijian culture were either repressed or modified to ensure European – specifically, British – control.

Eventually, a warlord named <a href="/wiki/Seru_Epenisa_Cakobau" title="Seru Epenisa Cakobau">Seru Epenisa Cakobau</a> of Bau Island was able to become a powerful influence in the region. His father was Ratu <a href="/wiki/Tanoa_Visawaqa" title="Tanoa Visawaqa">Tanoa Visawaqa</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Vunivalu_of_Bau" title="Vunivalu of Bau">Vunivalu</a> (a chiefly title meaning warlord<i>,</i> often translated also as paramount chief) who had previously subdued much of western Fiji. Cakobau, following on from his father, became so dominant that he was able to expel the Europeans from Levuka for five years over a dispute about their giving of weapons to his local enemies. In the early 1850s, Cakobau went one step further and declared war on all Christians. His plans were thwarted after the missionaries in Fiji received support from the already converted Tongans and the presence of a British warship. The Tongan Prince <a href="/wiki/Enele_Ma%CA%BBafu" title="Enele Maʻafu">Enele Maʻafu</a>, a Christian, had established himself on the island of Lakeba in 1848, forcibly converting the local people to the <a href="/wiki/Methodism" title="Methodism">Methodist Church</a>. Cakobau and other chiefs in the west of Fiji regarded Maʻafu as a threat to their power and resisted his attempts to expand Tonga's dominion. Cakobau's influence, however, began to wane, and his heavy imposition of taxes on other Fijian chiefs, who saw him at best as <a href="/wiki/Primus_inter_pares" title="Primus inter pares">first among equals</a>, caused them to defect from him.<sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Around this time the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> also became interested in asserting their power in the region, and they threatened intervention following a number of incidents involving their consul in the Fiji islands, John Brown Williams. In 1849, Williams had his trading store looted following an accidental fire, caused by stray cannon fire during a <a href="/wiki/Independence_Day_(United_States)" title="Independence Day (United States)">Fourth of July</a> celebration, and in 1853 the European settlement of Levuka was burnt to the ground. Williams blamed Cakobau for both these incidents, and the U.S. representative wanted Cakobau's capital at Bau destroyed in retaliation. A naval blockade was instead set up around the island which put further pressure on Cakobau to give up on his warfare against the foreigners and their Christian allies. Finally, on 30 April 1854, Cakobau offered his <i>soro</i> (supplication) and yielded to these forces. He underwent the <i>lotu</i> and converted to Christianity. The traditional Fijian temples in Bau were destroyed, and the sacred <i><a href="/wiki/Casuarina_equisetifolia" title="Casuarina equisetifolia">nokonoko</a></i> trees were cut down. Cakobau and his remaining men were then compelled to join with the Tongans, backed by the Americans and British, to subjugate the remaining chiefs in the region who still refused to convert. These chiefs were soon defeated with Qaraniqio of the <a href="/wiki/Rewa_Province" title="Rewa Province">Rewa</a> being poisoned and Ratu Mara of Kaba being hanged in 1855. After these wars, most regions of Fiji, except for the interior highland areas, had been forced into giving up much of their traditional systems and were now vassals of Western interest. Cakobau was retained as a largely symbolic representative of a few Fijian peoples and was allowed to take the ironic and self proclaimed title of "Tui Viti" ("King of Fiji"), but the overarching control now lay with foreign powers.<sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cotton,_confederacies_and_the_Kai_Colo"><span id="Cotton.2C_confederacies_and_the_Kai_Colo"></span>Cotton, confederacies and the Kai Colo</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tui_Namosi,_Kai_Colo.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Tui_Namosi%2C_Kai_Colo.jpg/220px-Tui_Namosi%2C_Kai_Colo.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="355" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Tui_Namosi%2C_Kai_Colo.jpg/330px-Tui_Namosi%2C_Kai_Colo.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Tui_Namosi%2C_Kai_Colo.jpg/440px-Tui_Namosi%2C_Kai_Colo.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1058" data-file-height="1708" /></a><figcaption>Kai Colo warrior</figcaption></figure> <p>The rising price of cotton in the wake of the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a> (1861–1865) caused an influx of hundreds of settlers to Fiji in the 1860s from Australia and the United States in order to obtain land and grow cotton. Since there was still a lack of functioning government in Fiji, these planters were often able to get the land in violent or fraudulent ways such as exchanging weapons or alcohol with Fijians who may or may not have been the true owners. Although this made for cheap land acquisition, competing land claims between the planters became problematic with no unified government to resolve the disputes. In 1865, the settlers proposed a confederacy of the seven main native kingdoms in Fiji to establish some sort of government. This was initially successful, and Cakobau was elected as the first president of the confederacy.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-45"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Flag_of_the_Confederacy_of_Independent_Kingdoms_of_Fiji.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Flag_of_the_Confederacy_of_Independent_Kingdoms_of_Fiji.svg/220px-Flag_of_the_Confederacy_of_Independent_Kingdoms_of_Fiji.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="142" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Flag_of_the_Confederacy_of_Independent_Kingdoms_of_Fiji.svg/330px-Flag_of_the_Confederacy_of_Independent_Kingdoms_of_Fiji.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Flag_of_the_Confederacy_of_Independent_Kingdoms_of_Fiji.svg/440px-Flag_of_the_Confederacy_of_Independent_Kingdoms_of_Fiji.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1111" data-file-height="717" /></a><figcaption>Flag of the Confederacy of Independent Kingdoms of Fiji, 1865–1867</figcaption></figure> <p>With the demand for land high, the white planters started to push into the hilly interior of Viti Levu.

The local whites refused their posting, and deployment of another 50 troops under Captain Harding was sent to emphasise the government's authority. To prove the worth of the Native Regiment, this augmented force went into the interior and massacred about 170 Kai Colo people at Na Korowaiwai. Upon returning to the coast, the force was met by the white settlers who still saw the government troops as a threat.

Major Fitzgerald and Major H.C. Thurston (the brother of John Bates Thurston) led a two pronged attack throughout the region. The combined forces of the different clans of the Kai Colo made a stand at the village of Na Culi. The Kai Colo were defeated with dynamite and fire being used to flush them out from their defensive positions amongst the mountain caves.

This provided a source of revenue for the government and also dispersed the rebels to different, often isolated islands where the plantations were located. The land that was occupied by these people before they became slaves was then also sold for additional revenue. An example of this is the Lovoni people of Ovalau, who after being defeated in a war with the Cakobau government in 1871, were rounded up and sold to the settlers at £6 per head.

The question was complicated by maneuverings for power between Cakobau and his old rival, Ma'afu, with both men vacillating for many months. On 21 March 1874, Cakobau made a final offer, which the British accepted. On 23 September, <a href="/wiki/Hercules_Robinson,_1st_Baron_Rosmead" title="Hercules Robinson, 1st Baron Rosmead">Sir Hercules Robinson</a>, soon to be appointed the British Governor of Fiji, arrived on HMS <i>Dido</i> and received Cakobau with a royal 21-gun salute. After some vacillation, Cakobau agreed to renounce his <i>Tui Viti</i> title, retaining the title of <i>Vunivalu</i>, or Protector. The formal cession took place on 10 October 1874, when Cakobau, Ma'afu, and some of the senior chiefs of Fiji signed two copies of the Deed of Cession.

Gordon was immediately faced with an insurgency of the Qalimari and Kai Colo people. In early 1875, colonial administrator <a href="/wiki/Edgar_Leopold_Layard" title="Edgar Leopold Layard">Edgar Leopold Layard</a> had met with thousands of highland clans at Navuso to formalise their subjugation to British rule and Christianity. Layard and his delegation managed to spread the measles epidemic to the highlanders, causing mass deaths in this population. As a result, anger at the British colonists flared throughout the region, and a widespread uprising quickly took hold. Villages along the Sigatoka River and in the highlands above this area refused British control, and Gordon was tasked with quashing this rebellion.<sup id="cite_ref-70" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-70"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>68<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In what Gordon termed the "Little War", the suppression of this uprising took the form of two co-ordinated military campaigns in the western half of Viti Levu. The first was conducted by Gordon's second cousin, Arthur John Lewis Gordon, against the Qalimari insurgents along the Sigatoka River. The second campaign was led by <a href="/wiki/Louis_Knollys" title="Louis Knollys">Louis Knollys</a> against the Kai Colo in the mountains to the north of the river. Governor Gordon invoked a type of martial law in the area where Arthur John Lewis Gordon and Knollys had absolute power to conduct their missions outside of any restrictions of legislation. The two groups of rebels were kept isolated from each other by a force led by Walter Carew and <a href="/wiki/George_Le_Hunte" title="George Le Hunte">George Le Hunte</a> who were stationed at Nasaucoko. Carew also ensured the rebellion did not spread east by securing the loyalty of the Wainimala people of the eastern highlands. The war involved the use of the soldiers of the old Native Regiment of Cakobau supported by around 1,500 Christian Fijian volunteers from other areas of Viti Levu. The colonial <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand_Government" title="New Zealand Government">New Zealand Government</a> provided most of the advanced weapons for the army including 100 <a href="/wiki/Snider%E2%80%93Enfield" title="Snider–Enfield">Snider rifles</a>. </p><p>The campaign along the Sigatoka River was conducted under a <a href="/wiki/Scorched_earth" title="Scorched earth">scorched earth</a> policy whereby numerous rebel villages were burnt and their fields ransacked. After the capture and destruction of the main fortified towns of Koroivatuma, Bukutia and Matanavatu, the Qalimari surrendered <i>en masse</i>. Those not killed in the fighting were taken prisoner and sent to the coastal town of Cuvu. This included 827 men, women and children as well as Mudu, the leader of the insurgents. The women and children were distributed to places like <a href="/wiki/Nadi" title="Nadi">Nadi</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nadroga-Navosa_Province" title="Nadroga-Navosa Province">Nadroga</a>.

Knollys managed to clear the caves "after some considerable time and large expenditure of ammunition". The occupants of these caves included whole communities, and as a result many men, women and children were either killed or wounded in these operations. The rest were taken prisoner and sent to the towns on the northern coast. The chief medical officer in British Fiji, William MacGregor, also took part both in killing Kai Colo and tending to their wounded. After the caves were taken, the Kai Colo surrendered and their leader, Bisiki, was captured. Various trials were held, mostly at Nasaucoko under Le Hunte, and 32 men were either hanged or shot including Bisiki, who was killed trying to escape.<sup id="cite_ref-Letters_and_Notes_Vol._2_72-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Letters_and_Notes_Vol._2-72"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>70<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By the end of October 1876, the "Little War" was over, and Gordon had succeeded in vanquishing the rebels in the interior of Viti Levu. Remaining insurgents were sent into exile with hard labour for up to 10 years. Some non-combatants were allowed to return to rebuild their villages, but many areas in the highlands were ordered by Gordon to remain depopulated and in ruins. Gordon also constructed a military fortress, Fort Canarvon, at the headwaters of the Sigatoka River where a large contingent of soldiers were based to maintain British control. He renamed the Native Regiment, the Armed Native Constabulary to lessen its appearance of being a military force.<sup id="cite_ref-Letters_and_Notes_Vol._2_72-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Letters_and_Notes_Vol._2-72"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>70<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>To further consolidate social control throughout the colony, Governor Gordon introduced a system of appointed chiefs and village constables in the various districts to both enact his orders and report any disobedience from the populace.

The 463 Indians arrived on 14 May 1879 – the first of some 61,000 that were to come before the scheme ended in 1916. The plan involved bringing the Indian workers to Fiji on a five-year contract, after which they could return to India at their own expense; if they chose to renew their contract for a second five-year term, they would be given the option of returning to India at the government's expense, or remaining in Fiji. The great majority chose to stay. The Queensland Act, which regulated indentured labour in Queensland, was made law in Fiji also. </p><p>Between 1879 and 1916, tens of thousands of Indians moved to Fiji to work as indentured labourers, especially on sugarcane plantations. Given the steady influx of ships carrying indentured Indians to Fiji up until 1916, repatriated Indians generally boarded these same ships on their return voyage. The total number of repatriates under the Fiji indenture system is recorded as 39,261, while the number of arrivals is said to have been 60,553. Because the return figure includes children born in Fiji, many of the indentured Indians never returned to India. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Tuka_rebellions">Tuka rebellions</h4></div> <p>With almost all aspects of indigenous Fijian social life being controlled by the British colonial authorities, a number of charismatic individuals preaching dissent and return to pre-colonial culture were able to forge a following amongst the disenfranchised. These movements were called Tuka, which roughly translates as "those who stand up". The first Tuka movement was led by Ndoongumoy, better known as Navosavakandua, which means "he who speaks only once". He told his followers that if they returned to traditional ways and worshipped traditional deities such as Degei and Rokola, their current condition would be transformed, with the whites and their puppet Fijian chiefs being subservient to them. Navosavakandua was previously exiled from the Viti Levu highlands in 1878 for disturbing the peace, and the British quickly arrested him and his followers after this open display of rebellion. He was again exiled, this time to <a href="/wiki/Rotuma" title="Rotuma">Rotuma</a> where he died soon after his 10-year sentence ended.<sup id="cite_ref-74" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-74"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>72<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Other Tuka organisations, however, soon appeared. The British colonial administration ruthlessly suppressed both the leaders and followers, with figureheads such as Sailose being banished to an asylum for 12 years.

Apolosi and his followers were arrested in 1915, and the company collapsed in 1917. Over the next 30 years, Apolosi was re-arrested, jailed and exiled, with the British viewing him as a threat right up to his death in 1946.<sup id="cite_ref-77" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-77"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>75<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="World_War_I_and_II">World War I and II</h4></div> <p>Fiji was only peripherally involved in World War I.
