EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of a traditional Fijian feast, featuring the largest and most esteemed delicacy of the South Pacific islands: giant turtles. The photograph, taken in Fiji, portrays several tribesmen skillfully maneuvering two massive turtles, their powerful limbs outstretched and flipped onto their backs. The turtles, likely captured from the surrounding sea, appear calm and resigned, their eyes closed in submission. The Fijian people have a rich and complex relationship with the sea and its creatures. Turtles, particularly the hawksbill and green turtles, have long held a significant place in Fijian culture, both as a source of food and as symbols of wealth and prestige. The capture and consumption of these turtles was, and in some communities still is, a communal event, bringing together families and tribes to celebrate and share in the bounty of the sea. The act of flipping the turtles onto their backs is believed to help prevent them from escaping, as well as making it easier for the tribesmen to cut them open and extract the valuable meat and organs. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the historical practices and traditions that have shaped the lives of the Fijian people for generations. Despite the significance of this image in documenting an important aspect of Fijian history and culture, it is important to note that the capture and consumption of giant turtles is now regulated and monitored by the Fijian government to ensure the sustainability of their populations. This photograph offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the past, while also highlighting the ongoing efforts to preserve and honor the traditions and customs of the Fijian people.
