In 1835 they came from Tonga and initially moved to the oriental island, where the already known Tongan elements prevailed.
But in his day, the problems grew thicker. Theongans who had long visited Fiji (especially for canoeing, as their own islets had too little wood) now came in large numbers, headed by a capable and aspiring chieftain, Maafu, who, through his skilful participation in Fiji disputes, made himself the head of the Windward group and threatened Thakombau's hegemony.
Dr. B. Seemann's positive account of the abilities of the islands, followed by a period of devastation in Australia and New Zealand, resulted in a sharp rise in the number of colonists from 200 in 1860 to 1800 in 1869. The New Zealand authorities made ouvertures in 1900 to adsorb Fiji.
In 1970 Fiji became self-sufficient.
