I am proud to be from Lau. I just LOVE his beautiful English accent. A Great Leader & a Humble Man he was & always will be. RIP His excellency Rt. Sir KKT Mara, the Vuanirewa, Tui Nayau, Tui Lau, Sau kei Lau. #FirstPM #PrideofLau #PrideofFiji #PrideofPacific #LargestStateFuneralEver
From the Highlands of VITI LEVU to all my families in the Beloved LAU group thank you for sharing your rich history and reminding us that we are ONE. Vinaka vakalevu Na RATU NA TUI NAYAU, your legacy Sir will never die. God bless Fiji .
I grew up hating him due to my parent's political biases. Now with bits and pieces of what the man was actually about, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Even more so today, in 2021, he appears to have a genuine interest in using his status to serve and better the nation of Fiji. That aside, this is priceless doco
I wish that human beings like this gentleman would live forever. I say this because I grew up in the era of his Governing of our beloved Fiji 🇫🇯. A well educated, well spoken, smart and honourable man and as you can see how he knows history,tradition and culture of our nation as he governed it. No one is ever going to beat him but destroy our beautiful Fiji.
I loved this man. I grew up in the era of Tui Lau, Tui Toga Taufa'ahau, and, Malietoa Tanumafili II. I have very ancient bloodlines from the latter. The Triangle that made Polynesia❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you for sharing the video and the attached video is of my grandmothers family. My grandmother is from Tubou Lakeba Lau her name is Anaseini Atulagawalu and she is on the last bit of the video with my brother and sister at the end of the video...💕💕it is such a beautiful memory that we still share till today....Malo Momo Ralulu and family. 💕💕💕💕💕
@@Irongaint Not really. Polynesians found Fiji before the Melanesians until the Melanesians came in huge numbers (for an unknown reason, perhaps a volcanic eruption forced them out) and eventually, the Polynesians spread out into Tonga and Samoa, then the rest of Polynesia was shaped. Although, to say "samoans originated from Fiji" is not really true, as ancient Polynesians arrived from South East Asia hundreds of years before finding Fiji.
@@Irongaint Yeah, the Polynesians have Papua New Guinean genes. They get their nose and hair from Papua new guinea genes from when they voyaged from South East Asia to the South Pacific.
Isa😢 First time I watched this was way back in the 90s and I finally managed to watch it again after 20 something years. Totoka a noda veivakamenemenei

Isa ,Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara. A leader that everybody loved and respected with no exceptions. I was curious about the history of the Fijians as Ratu Mara was explaining and to see what science can explain to me . I google searched : The DNA admixture of the Fijians: it said Asian and 30% Melanesian. Fijians are therefore Austranesians because of DNA(blood) ,linguistically and traditions. Fijians were the first Polynesians.

Rt mara was an unelected prime minister during this time. he lost the general election in 1987 and Sitiveni Rabuka overthrow the elected government lead by Dr Bavadra and put Rt Mara back to prime minister. If Rt Mara was that well educated he should have turn it down but the greed for power has done so much damage to Fiji. We fjians are now complaining about the 2006 coup by Frank Bainimarama but we seems to forget about 1987.
Ben Rei...After 1987 coup..we recovered..now with Bainimarama..look at the mess him and Khaiyum has created..so much for the Boom(washing powder maybe) in our Economy they've been bragging about that lhave to cannibalize on my FNPF..33yrs on and you're still at it..move on Ben.
@3335AO ..oilei 3335AO...you assume that l support Rabuka..🤣🤣🤣...l don't support COUP MAKERS..l don't support people who overthrow an elected government illegally...It's been 22yrs since Rabuka has ceased been the PM and yet they've the tenacity to blame his government for everything ...now for the FFP(Family First Party)...whose going to pay the DINAU after DINAU mess they have created(only thing they're good at)..
@3335AO ...rape..murder..happens everywhere...at least they don't drag people to the Police Station for speaking their mind like your Family First Party government is doing...
@3335AO ...don't confuse yourself with rogue Police Constabulary officers who took matters into their own hands..O'Neil(PM) did not support the act but the damage has been done.

The very best leader of Fiji, proud to have met and played golf with the Sir. real raja.
Love this, Samoans are originally from fiji, but Samoans played a huge part of shaping Polynesian cultures and languages in the past 3000 years.
Samoans are gonna hate this comment 😂😂
As a Samoan I will never deny the fact that we originate from Fiji BUT I'M NEVER ACCEPTING THAT WE ORIGINATE FROM TONGANS🤣🤣🤣

@@francois9747 I kinda believe that, because some fijians look poly, even the dark ones have poly features
@@Irongaint Yeah, the Polynesians have Papua New Guinean genes. They get their nose and hair from Papua new guinea genes from when they voyaged from South East Asia to the South Pacific.
Isa, much to learn from looking at this again. Thanks for sharing this video.
