Men And Women Continue To Sustain Such Richness Because It Is Through This That They Can Call It Their Own. It Is A Pride For This Group Of People To Share Their Culture And Lives To Others --- And This Can Surely Be Seen On How Hospitable And Warm The Men And Women Are To Tourists And Island Guests.Because Of The Polynesian And Melanesian Influences, One Can See How The Hierarchy Of The Village Or Place Is Developed. They Have Their Own Customs And Traditions That They Are Proud Of, Because It Is What Makes Them A Unique Tribe. Men And Women Love Their Music And Dancing, Their Songs And Sounds, Their Beats And Rhythms, And Their Steps And Moves. Like Other Pacific Islanders, They Have Their Own Indigenous Art Forms In The World Of Sound, Music, And Dancing. They Have The Meke, A Narrative Of A Significant Event, Which Includes The Seasea, A Fijian Womens Fan Dance And A Make Wesi, A Mens Spear Dance. These Traditional Dances Have Been Passed From Generations To Generations And Are Already Part Of The History Of The Native Men And Women. Besides Having Their Traditional Customs And Activities, They Also Have Their Traditional Costumes And Attires. For Men, They Have The Loincloths, And For Women, They Have The Grass Skirts; But Their National Dress, The Sulu, Which Looks Like A Skirt Is Actually Worn By Both Men And Women. Has Its Own National Drink, Arts, And Crafts. Their National Drink, Which Is The Kava (or Yagona), Is Used And Drank During Special Ceremonies. This Drink Calls For A Special Ritual, Thus Yagoona Drinking Must Follow These Steps: Clap Once, Clasp The Hands, Take The Cup, Drink It In A Single Mouthful, Return The Cup To The Bearer, Clap Three Times, And Say The Word Maca. So, During These Special Occasions, This Fijian Social Beverage Always Is A Special Treat And Moment For All. Their Arts And Crafts Are Those Of Polynesian And Melanesian Influences, And Men Have A Different Set Of Crafts From The Women. Womens Crafts Include Pottery, Tapa And Masi, Fijian Mats, And Basket Weaving. It Shows That Men And Women Are Truly Gifted With A Rich Culture And Heritage, Thats Why To This Day, They Still Honor Those Traditions And Customs, Respect Their Historical And Generational Crafts And Gifts, And Continue Practicing Them To Let It Remain And Prosper In The Hearts Of The New Generations Of Fijians.
