Thwarted by perilous reefs and the threat of fearsome cannibals, Fiji was left by the rest of the world to develop its own rich culture and natural beauty. The first knowledge Europeans had of Fiji was through the writings of Captain James Cook – who met Fijians in Tonga, he described them as formidable warriors and builders of the finest vessels in the Pacific. Today Fiji is still part of the British Commonwealth of nations with a blend of Melanesian, Polynesian and European culture.
