First sentence: Many times during the eighteen months of my fieldwork in the village of Sawaieke on the island of Gau, Central Fiji, I listened to one or other of my hosts champion na i vakarau ni bula vaka Viti, 'the Fijian way of life' which he or she contrasted with na i vakarau ni bula vakailavo se vakavavalagi, 'a way of life in the manner of money or in the European way'.
