  • A Socio-Cultural Investigation of Indigenous Fijian Women's
    A Socio-cultural Investigation of Indigenous Fijian Women’s Perception of and Responses to HIV and AIDS from the Two Selected Tribes in Rural Fiji Tabalesi na Dakua,Ukuwale na Salato Ms Litiana N. Tuilaselase Kuridrani MBA; PG Dip Social Policy Admin; PG Dip HRM; Post Basic Public Health; BA Management/Sociology (double major); FRNOB A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of Population Health Abstract This thesis reports the findings of the first in-depth qualitative research on the socio-cultural perceptions of and responses to HIV and AIDS from the two selected tribes in rural Fiji. The study is guided by an ethnographic framework with grounded theory approach. Data was obtained using methods of Key Informants Interviews (KII), Focus Group Discussions (FGD), participant observations and documentary analysis of scripts, brochures, curriculum, magazines, newspapers articles obtained from a broad range of Fijian sources. The study findings confirmed that the Indigenous Fijian women population are aware of and concerned about HIV and AIDS. Specifically, control over their lives and decision-making is shaped by changes of vanua (land and its people), lotu (church), and matanitu (state or government) structures. This increases their vulnerabilities. Informants identified HIV and AIDS with a loss of control over the traditional way of life, over family ties, over oneself and loss of control over risks and vulnerability factors. The understanding of HIV and AIDS is situated in the cultural context as indigenous in its origin and required a traditional approach to management and healing.

  • Fijian Colonial Experience: a Study of the Neotraditional Order Under British Colonial Rule Prior to World War II, by Timothy J
    Chapter 4 The new of The more able Fij ian chiefs did not need to fetch up the glory of their ancestors to maintain leadership of their people: they exploited a variety of opportunities open to them within the Fij ian Administration. Ultimately colonial rule itself rested on the loyalty chosen chiefs could still command from their people, and day-to-day village governance, it has been seen, totally depended on them. Far from degenerating into a decadent elite, these chiefs devised a mode of leadership that was neither traditional, for it needed appointment from the Crown, nor purely administrative. Its material rewards came from salary and fringe benefits; its larger satisfactions from the extent to which the peopl e rallied to their leadership and voluntarily participated in the great celebrations of Fijian life , the traditional-type festivals of dance, food and ceremony that proclaimed to all: the people and the chief and the land are one . 'Government-work' had its place, but for chiefs and people there were always 'higher' preoccupations growing out of the refined cultural legacy of the past (albeit the attenuated past) which gave them all that was still distinctively Fij ian in their threatened way of life. This chapter will illuminate the ambiguous mix of constraint and opportunity for chiefly leadership in the colonial context as exercised prior to World War II by some powerful personalities from different status levels in the neotraditional order. Thurston's enthusiastic tax gatherer, Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi , was perhaps the most able of them , and in his happier days was generally esteemed as one of the finest of 'the old school' of chiefs .

    INTERROGATING THE VANUA AND THE INSTITUTIONAL TRUSTEESHIP ROLE OF THE ITAUKEI LAND TRUST BOARD (TLTB): UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMIC MARGINALIZATION OF ITAUKEI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII AT MANOA IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE DECEMBER 2017 PONIPATE ROKOLEKUTU Dissertation Committee: Nevzat Soguk, Chairperson Manfred Henningsen Noenoe K.Silva Hokulani Aikau Tarcisius Kabutaulaka Copyright 2017 By Ponipate Rokolekutu ii Dedicated to: my late paternal grandparents: Ilaisa and Elina Kalouca late Nei: Lice Tinai Matatolu & late mother: Miriama Soronaqaqa Rokolekutu iii Acknowledgments I never thought that this part of the dissertation would be difficult. But it is difficult to acknowledge those who have made this journey bearable, meaningful and even enjoyable. My journey to the academic summit would have been insurmountable without God’s grace and the enduring love and support of my loved ones. This journey would also be impossible without the support of my committee chair, and the invaluable advice from the members of my dissertation committee who distinguish scholars in their fields. It would have been certainly unbearable without the friendships and collegiality of significant individuals whom I have had the privilege to interact with, both within the academic environment, as well as, around the kava bowl and the so many meals shared in homes and eatery places most certainly in Hawaii, at other times in California, and occasionally in New York. Please understand that I feel completely inadequate in providing these acknowledgments. First and foremost, I wish to acknowledge God Almighty for His provisions and for giving me the strength to persevere in the pursuit of a vision.
