EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in the rich cultural history of the Republic of Fiji, depicting native Fijian men meticulously preparing the traditional beverage known as Yaqona, or Kava, in the 1900s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous people before the influence of modernization. The men, dressed in traditional Fijian attire, are shown gathered around a large wooden bowl, known as a Bolo, used for the preparation and serving of Yaqona. The bowl is filled with the fresh root of the Yaqona plant, which has been grated and mixed with water. The men use wooden pestles, called Tanoas, to crush and mash the root, releasing its active ingredients and infusing the water with its distinctive earthy aroma and unique taste. Yaqona holds deep cultural significance in Fijian society, representing unity, peace, and respect. It is traditionally served during important ceremonies, gatherings, and as a sign of welcome and hospitality. The preparation and consumption of Yaqona is a communal activity, bringing people together and fostering a sense of community. This photograph is a testament to the enduring traditions and customs of the Fijian people, providing a window into their history and cultural heritage. The image offers a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse and vibrant cultural practices that make up the rich tapestry of human history.
