And you will know why many call us the planet's guardians of joy. The Fijian culture is filled with a wealth of colorful ceremonies, rituals and beliefs. In a traditional village house, fire is considered a symbol of life. A fire in the hearth smokes out mosquitoes, adds warmth, cooks food and drives the evil spirits away. The Fijian culture is very much alive here in Turtle Island, and when you come here, you live alongside us.
Food is at the core of our daily activities.
We hunt, fish and gather fruits and vegetables. No ceremony is complete without the presentation of food.
