We Are Kai Tonga”
5. “We are Kai Tonga” The islands of Moala, Totoya and Matuku, collectively known as the Yasayasa Moala, lie between 100 and 130 kilometres south-east of Viti Levu and approximately the same distance south-west of Lakeba. While, during the nineteenth century, the three islands owed some allegiance to Bau, there existed also several family connections with Lakeba. The most prominent of the few practising Christians there was Donumailulu, or Donu who, after lotuing while living on Lakeba, brought the faith to Moala when he returned there in 1852.1 Because of his conversion, Donu was soon forced to leave the island’s principal village, Navucunimasi, now known as Naroi. He took refuge in the village of Vunuku where, with the aid of a Tongan teacher, he introduced Christianity.2 Donu’s home island and its two nearest neighbours were to be the scene of Ma`afu’s first military adventures, ostensibly undertaken in the cause of the lotu. Richard Lyth, still working on Lakeba, paid a pastoral visit to the Yasayasa Moala in October 1852. Despite the precarious state of Christianity on Moala itself, Lyth departed in optimistic mood, largely because of his confidence in Donu, “a very steady consistent man”.3 He observed that two young Moalan chiefs “who really ruled the land, remained determined haters of the truth”.4 On Matuku, which he also visited, all villages had accepted the lotu except the principal one, Dawaleka, to which Tui Nayau was vasu.5 The missionary’s qualified optimism was shattered in November when news reached Lakeba of an attack on Vunuku by the two chiefs opposed to the lotu.

Moturiki, Lomaiviti Group
Archaeological History of a Fijian Island: Moturiki, Lomaiviti Group MARÍA Cruz BErrocal, Antonio UriartE GONZÁLEZ, SIDSEL MILLErstrom, SUSANA CONSUEGRA RODRÍGUEZ, Juana PÉREZ-ARIAS, AND Santiago ORMEÑO introduction In 2007, we started a project to record rock art in Fiji (Cruz Berrocal and Millerstrom 2013; Millerstrom and Cruz Berrocal 2009, 2010), focusing in 2008 on a site called Vatu Vola that had been discovered in 2006 in the Naisogorourou area on Moturiki ( pers. comm. Jone Balenaivalu, 13 September 2007). We designed our fieldwork there as a selective survey to understand the mechanisms of landscape construction associated with the making of rock art on small islands. The survey and further archaeological explorations of Moturiki rendered significant data and raised research questions presented in this article (Cruz Berrocal and Millerstrom 2013). Moturiki is one of the islands in the Lomaiviti group in central Fiji. The island’s surface is 1473 ha, including 1130 ha of mainland and 343 ha of mangrove (calcula- tions based on the cartographic base listed below). It is a volcanic outlier of Ovalau (Fig. 1). As a high island with maximum altitudes around 120 m (116 m according to the Digital Terrain Model of the island; source GDEM, below), it has a diversified landscape and, especially in the south, the topography is remarkable (Fig. 2). This set- ting provides different landscape contexts for archaeological inquiry. In addition, Mo- turiki has one of the oldest Lapita settlements (including a burial) found so far in Fiji ( Nunn et al. 2007), thus one of a limited number of sites with Lapita remains that can be analyzed ( Petchey et al.

12 THE UNITED STATES EXPLORING EXPEDITION IN FIJI Roberta Sprague On May 9, 1840, with a showman's flair, Charles Wilkes led the four ships of the first United States Exploring Expedition smartly into Levuka harbor, off the Fijian island of Ovalau. Carrying full sail until the last moment, the ships came to anchor as the white uniformed crew scrambled aloft to strike sail and man the yards at attention. The onshore spectators welcomed them with a prolonged ovation. 1 Wilkes, entranced by the beauty of the islands, was nevertheless mindful of their reputation in seafaring tales: "So beautiful was their aspect, that I could scarcely bring my mind to the realizing sense of the well-known fact, that they were the abode of a savage, ferocious and treacherous race of cannibals."2 This visit marked the first official United States presence in Fiji, but it was far from the first experience between Americans and Fijians. Merchants and unofficial explorers from the United States had been in contact with the archipelago throughout the early part of the nineteenth century, particularly during the sandalwood rush which lasted until about 1815. The published works concerning the Expedition or Fijian history do not deal with the significance of this American contact in terms of its consequences for Fijians or its indication for future American policy, or lack of it, in the area. Wilkes and the Expedition are discussed in a work by two Englishmen who were residents in Fiji at the time of his visit in Fiji and the Fijians3 by Thomas Williams and James Calvert, published in 1859.
