I love the history all over

A country's history is uniquely told through the life of a single man , who was not only witness but a participant . The indigenous medicinal and flagrant plants of Fiji , were also carried by Polynesians to the Eastern Pacific Islands , he exported the seedlings world wide , what a guy ...🌺🇹🇻🌱😎

thanks for sharing...when I was a child back thn..I would always asked my parents how come in my village that our family have lighter skin than the rest of the villagers don't and my parents always replied that my family have German blood...and now I understand my blood line history while watching this special documentary about my ancestors. It really meant alot to me after all these years. Vinaka

A superbly put to gether video. A fabulous story about the early years of Viti. Most impressed with Jacob Stork. Fiji was lucky to have such an intellect at that time.Vinaka vakalevu and God Bless the Stork family.

I'm a descendant of Sophie Storck, Jacob's first daughter to a Fijian woman. I'd love to know more about the unknown Fijian woman who was her mother?

I lived in Suva in a home on Storck st , and after viewing this documentary , I understand the significance of Mr Storck's contribution to Fiji's agriculture during the early years of Fiji's development and why they named a street after him as a rememberance. I was also born in Levuka and had many friends of part-european descent . I'm sure if the Storck family visits Fiji today , they will be received with great respect should they announce their lineage to the local newspapers.

My great grandfather would have been a sibling to Jacob Storck but immigrated to the USA.

Thanks for the narration Fabian Randerath....only one of them could pronounce theirs well.

Best docu on KZread from Fiji. Well done.

The first sugar cane plantation was produced in Fiji on the island of Wakaya in 1862 by David Whippy.

Bruh cakobau wasn't even the 1st chief to accept Christianity 🤦‍♂️

Amazing history

Thank you for this interesting story. My hobby is about the Hawaiian and the Southsea History.

I love how after Levuka it's just city extended and was established in Suva. Ratu Seru Cakobau had mounted his warriors and assistants of British army and navy guns forced the natives of Suva out of Suva. Till today the people of Suva have never been properly compensated for the hardships their ancestors went through.

Interesting 🇫🇯 that the opening comments of cannibalism has been amplified in this video clips. Seriously, as part of Researchers of Indigenous Fijians extracts 🇫🇯 of Fiji Islands we take great offence in how our Home Island Fiji 🇫🇯 has been introduced.

Cannibalism is only practiced by the BATI clans of villages not the whole village, how do you explain us eating rourou, bele, kokoda. Most of the itaukeis were vegetarians, Only the Sauturaga and Bati tokatoka practiced cannibalism to show their enemies the worst you can go in humanity is what we visit and know if you're trying to take territory, Kava was only drank by the BETE (Priest) tokatoka clans and Tui (Kings) clan only drank it when the Sauturaga clan would install a king from the tui line. You're reading history only according to BAU island and its foreign associates at the time when most other villages had to succumb during colonial as secondary class humans. Nice story though on Mr. STORCK, God bless him and his family's rich history, beautiful story of an human used by God as an instrument to the development of the greatest island nation in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean.

Amazing documentary have read of Berthold Seaman the German Botanist that became a close friend of Pritchard the first British Consul who built his home on one of the islets on Moturiki is so interesting what great History of the Storck family indeed

Fijians weren't cannibals that was only done in war to ensure the enemy suffered the worst way. Fiji has an abundance of Fish and other food sources lol

Love

Beautifully presented...vinaka for sharing...thouroughly enjoyed watching
