IngentaConnect Geomorphological Evolution of the Navua River, Fiji It is proposed that the former course of the palaeo-Navua River flowed east in a straight line along the modern Waidina River, and eventually discharged into Fiji's Rewa River system.

Café Pacific: Asia-Pacific Network: Fiji There had been long simmering resentment in the traditional Kubuna confederacy heartland of Naitisiri and Rewa against dominance by the eastern chiefs of Tovata, represented by deposed President Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara.

Colonel Smythe, her Britannic Majesty's Commissioner sent to investigate the matter, also advised the Queen that in his opinion Cakobau had no right at all to the title of King of Fiji. Unlike Great Britain, the United States of America had chosen to recognise Cakobau as Tui Viti from the outset, and the 'King of Fiji' was ever after held responsible for the behaviour of his 'subjects', an unruly mob. www.janesoceania.com /oceania_vermilion   (4485 words)
