  Lau Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lau Islands comprise one of fourteen Provinces in Fiji, with its capital at Tubou, at the southern end of the island of Lakeba.
The Northern Lau Islands, which extended as far south as Tuvuca, were under the overlordship of Taveuni and paid tribute to the Tui Cakau (Paramount Chief of Cakaudrove).
The Lau Islands' most famous son is the late Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara (1920-2004), the Tui Nayau (hereditary Paramount Chief of the Lau Islands) and the founding father of modern Fiji who was Prime Minister for most of the period between 1967 and 1992, and President from 1993 to 2000.

Following local customs, the turtles will be sacrificed to honor the local chieftain (the Tui Lau) and his son when death claims them.
The only certainty is that Lau, with all the traditional "best of Fiji," plus its own unique flavor and no crowds above or below the water, holds tremendous promise as one of the newest premier dive destinations.

The one we use primarily is one by D.C. Lau, published in 1963 by Penguin.
We feel that the value of D.C. Lau's translation lies in the fact that he does not seem to be a 'true' believer.
D.C. Lau's translation is based on 'received' texts, i.e., copies of the Chinese original copied many times over the centuries from the third or fourth century AD to the present.

A Tongan he certainly was; a stranger he could never be, although many of the indigenous chiefs of Fiji continued to regard him as an interloper in their midst.
Such was their dislike of the Tui Lau that on 2 March 1874, at a meeting to discuss the cession proposal, the assembled chiefs “had not gone into [annexation] at all and … had only spit out their venom against Ma‘afu”.
His appointment as Tui Lau in 1869, made by the indigenous chiefs with British support, acknowledged the reality of his power in Lau and effectively thwarted any further expansionist plans.

 Koila Nailatikau - Wikiquote
"I recall what the late Tui Nayau said at his last Lau Provincial Council meeting on Ono, Lau, in October 2000: 'There can be no reconciliation or peace until the coup investigations are completed and the rule of law is upheld'."
"Personally, I feel that if the Lau Provincial Council votes for this Bill it means that they are supporting the amnesty clause, which is what the whole Bill is about.
Do they understand that what they are actually doing is agreeing in principle to the removal of the late Turaga na Tui Nayau and condoning the coup perpetrators who were the very thugs who removed the Tui Nayau and brought anarchy to Fiji in the year 2000."
