About: Lutunasobasoba

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Lutunasobasoba is considered to be one of the ancestors of the Fijian (iTaukei) people, along with Degei. According to one story, they originated near Lake Tanganyika and sailed to sea in the Kaunitoni and several other canoes. The Kaunitoni became holed in the western reef of Viti Levu, just north of the village of Viseisei. One faction, with Lutunasobasoba as a chief, decided to make a home there. Degei, with the Kaunitoni, decided to sail east on the coast and landed at Rakiraki, settling in the Nakauvandra Mountains.

dbo:abstract
  • Lutunasobasoba is considered to be one of the ancestors of the Fijian (iTaukei) people, along with Degei. According to one story, they originated near Lake Tanganyika and sailed to sea in the Kaunitoni and several other canoes. The Kaunitoni became holed in the western reef of Viti Levu, just north of the village of Viseisei. One faction, with Lutunasobasoba as a chief, decided to make a home there. Degei, with the Kaunitoni, decided to sail east on the coast and landed at Rakiraki, settling in the Nakauvandra Mountains. This particular story is believed to have been originated from a competition held in the late 1870s by missionaries who were looking to develop a more fanciful story than that which existed in Fijian circles at the time. The winning story tells that Degei and Lutunasobasoba were gods from Lake Tanganyika. In modern times it is believed that Fiji's first inhabitants were Proto-Polynesians of the Lapita culture, whose ancestors were from South East Asia. (en)
