    Hey bula vinaka, I grow up in the village of Navolau no 1 in rakiraki .ra, but I live in Aussie most of my life for almost 30 something yrs. I still remember when I was young going to church every Sunday. When times comes for prayer, we always heard some of the elders saying in their prayers every Sunday, please God help Fiji and Rotuman. And I always ask my self why they always mention this place witch is really doesn't exist In my mind or even knows where this place are. Even my step grandfather used to say that all the time he pray. So when I grow up and hear the story around the village saying that Rotuman is Fijian. Oh wow, Rotuman is Fijian Hawaii and they belong to Fiji. Yadra from the brothers from the west.
