History
According to Fijian legend, the great chief Lutunasobasoba led his people across the seas to the new land of Fiji . Most authorities agree that people came into the Pacific from Southeast Asia via Indonesia. Here the Melanesians and the Polynesians mixed to create a highly developed society long before the arrival of the Europeans. The European discoveries of the Fiji group were accidental. The first of these discoveries was made in 1643 by the Dutch explorer, Abel Tasman and English navigators, including Captain James Cook who sailed through in 1774, and made further explorations in the 18th century. Major credit for the discovery and recording of the islands went to Captain William Bligh who sailed through Fiji after the mutiny on the Bounty in 1789. The first Europeans to land and live among the Fijians were shipwrecked sailors and runaway convicts from the Australian penal settlements. Sandalwood traders and missionaries came by the mid 19th century. Cannibalism practised in Fiji at that time quickly disappeared as missionaries gained influence. When Ratu Seru Cakobau accepted Christianity in 1854, the rest of the country soon followed and tribal warfare came to an end.

    Pre-history
    The most remarkable aspect of Fijian pre-history is its antiquity. It is now known that people had reached the Fijian archipelago as early as 2000 years before the birth of Christ. Considering the fact that the Vikings, acknowledged as Europe's greatest sailors, didn't reach American until three thousand years later, or the fact that Columbus made his famous voyage only some five hundred years ago, the Fijian achievement must be seen as extraordinary. The question is, who were the first settlers. And the answer is that we don't know. There are some who are prepared to speculate and Dr Roger Green, Professor of Anthropology at Auckland University, in New Zealand is one of them. He calls this vast archipelago "Island of South East Asia". These migrants were relatively new, even though they were different from those of the people already living in the islands of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Hebrides (now Vanuatu) and New Caledonia. The first settlers were of Negrito stock with dark skin, woolly hair and other typical features. The newcomers were fairer, had straight or wavy black hair and we can assume were of many type stock. they would seem to have been good sailors and craftsmen and excellent potters who made a distinct type of ware we know as Lapita pottery after its initial discovery in New Caledonia. A picture emerges of these "Lapita" people. Sailors, adventurers, good navigators and consummate craftsmen. The trail of their pots, hooks, obsidian cutting tools and ornaments leads down from New Britain through some of the outer islands fringing the Solomons and Vanuatu, suggesting that perhaps they were not powerful enough to force settlements on the bigger islands which were already supporting large populations of people.

    HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The idea about the setting up of a Regional Youth Co-ordinating council for the Pacific Basin was initiated by the Fiji National Youth Council in 1975. The idea came into being after repeated resolutions by Pacific Island country representatives at various Pacific Island’s Youth Conferences before and during 1979. The follow-up of the 1979 resolution was not hurriedly pursued. The idea was then temporarily shelved, due to the fact that not many countries in the Pacific who have already established National Youth Councils were strongly pressing the issue. An elaborate campaign was done to assist smaller island countries on the setting up of their National Co-ordinating networks. The campaign was backed up by the satelite links called "Peacesat" based at the various centres within the region convening regular satelite meetings and regular exchange of resource materials on the existing National Youth Councils to assist the intending countries. This campaign was co-ordinated by the Youth and Adult Education Unit of the South Pacific Commission. It took six years to finally realise the success. In 1985 about ten National Youth Councils was recorded to have been formed in New Zealand , Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Solomon Island, Niue, Cook Islands, Western Samoa, and Tokelau Island. Tonga had a youth workers association, Tuvalu was working towards the formation of the Tuvalu National Youth Council and Kiribati had made attempts towards a Kiribati National Youth Forum. With the above country-based councils; the time was deemed right to form a Pacific-based Regional Youth Co-ordinating body to foster closer collaboration for youth.

    History:
    For the next 17 years after independence, the moderate conservative Alliance Party governed without interruption. Foreign policy was (and still is) broadly pro-Western and geared towards the development of regional alliances, such as the South Pacific Forum. As a member of the Forum, Fiji, along with its small neighbours, vigorously campaigned against French nuclear testing. It is also a member of the Commonwealth, from which it was temporarily suspended in 1987 and again in 2000. The 1987 suspension followed the general election that same year, which removed the Alliance Party from office. The poll brought to power a coalition between the main ethnic Indian party, the National Federation Party, led by Marendra Chaudhry (see below), and the newly-formed Labour Party, which drew support from the growing multiracial trade union movement. The new Government had a majority of Indian ministers, which proved too much for many nationalist native Fijians (referred to as Taukei Taukei rights.
