The history of Fiji dates back to ancient times.
There are many theories as to how the Fijian race came into existence.
Around 1500 BC Fiji was settled by Polynesian seafarers.
Around 900 – 600 BC Moturiki Island was settled.
By 500 BC, Melanesian seafarers had reached Fiji and intermarried with the Polynesian inhabitants, giving rise to the modern Fijian people.
In 1643 AD, Abel Tasman sighted Vanua Levu Island and northern Taveuni.
According to native oral legends Fijians were also descendants of a nomadic tribe from Tanganika ( Tanzania ).
