Isa ,Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara. A leader that everybody loved and respected with no exceptions. I was curious about the history of the Fijians as Ratu Mara was explaining and to see what science can explain to me . I google searched : The DNA admixture of the Fijians: it said Asian and 30% Melanesian. Fijians are therefore Austranesians because of DNA(blood) ,linguistically and traditions. Fijians were the first Polynesians.

OG right there. From an old skool institution where they don't make them like him anymore. Respect 🙏❤

Totoka na soqo

He's sound like Tongan

Love this, Samoans are originally from fiji, but Samoans played a huge part of shaping Polynesian cultures and languages in the past 3000 years.

I remember watching this in the early 90s on vhs

The very best leader of Fiji, proud to have met and played golf with the Sir. real raja.

Isa, still remember you sir. I wish you still hia to run the government.

I wish that human beings like this gentleman would live forever. I say this because I grew up in the era of his Governing of our beloved Fiji 🇫🇯. A well educated, well spoken, smart and honourable man and as you can see how he knows history,tradition and culture of our nation as he governed it. No one is ever going to beat him but destroy our beautiful Fiji.

He's a wise leader.

I grew up hating him due to my parent's political biases. Now with bits and pieces of what the man was actually about, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Even more so today, in 2021, he appears to have a genuine interest in using his status to serve and better the nation of Fiji. That aside, this is priceless doco

I loved this man. I grew up in the era of Tui Lau, Tui Toga Taufa'ahau, and, Malietoa Tanumafili II. I have very ancient bloodlines from the latter. The Triangle that made Polynesia❤️❤️❤️❤️.

It's was a privilege to have been able to met and know him personally while in Fiji and as well as in NZ .

Oh damn Ratu Kamisese

Rt mara was an unelected prime minister during this time. he lost the general election in 1987 and Sitiveni Rabuka overthrow the elected government lead by Dr Bavadra and put Rt Mara back to prime minister. If Rt Mara was that well educated he should have turn it down but the greed for power has done so much damage to Fiji. We fjians are now complaining about the 2006 coup by Frank Bainimarama but we seems to forget about 1987.

Isa😢 First time I watched this was way back in the 90s and I finally managed to watch it again after 20 something years. Totoka a noda veivakamenemenei
