"A Fijian
Chief visits a neighboring Island. The sail of his canoe remains up, as
a sign of respect for his high-ranking arrival.
With the arrival of indentured labour to Fiji came
the ancient cultures, religions and customs of India. Today, the descendents
of those humble labourers comprise a significant portion of Fiji’s
professional, entrepreneurial, and sugar-growing industries"
