BEGIN THE JOURNEY
An ocean of stories.
Travel through Fiji’s past. Look closer. Find the connections.
Listen. Look. Connect.
Begin with the ocean. Across Fiji, water connects communities as well as separating islands. This journey follows voyagers, makers, families and people confronting enormous change. Look for the relationships behind the objects. A canoe is also a workshop, a livelihood and a meeting between islands. Every chapter opens another way into the story.
01From forest to ocean
Boatbuilding brings together timber, fibre, skilled hands and knowledge of wind and water. A canoe connects work on land with journeys between islands.
02Everyday journeys
Canoes carried people between communities for fishing, visits, food and water. Seafaring belonged to daily life as well as chiefly power.
