Fiji village to apologise for eating English missionary

October 15, 2003

 

Residents of a remote Fiji mountain village, in which an English missionary was killed and eaten 136 years ago, will offer a traditional apology to the man's descendants next month.

 

The Reverend Thomas Baker of the London Missionary Society was killed by the people of Navatusila on July 21, 1867, after he took a comb out of a chief's hair.

 

It was, and still is, forbidden to touch the head of a chief. He was subsequently cooked and eaten and is the only known white victim of what was once known as the "Cannibal Isles".

 

One who took part in the feast was quoted in contemporary accounts as saying "we ate everything but his boots". One of his boots is in the Fijian Museum in Suva.

 

PINA News said Ratu Filimoni Wawabalavu, the chief of the Navosa district in the central mountainous region of Viti Levu, had invited Baker's descendants.

 

Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase is expected to be in Navatusila on behalf of the Government.

 

The tribe of Nubutautau believe that they were being cursed for what their forefathers had done and that a traditional apology needed to be made to Baker's descendants.

 

Indigenous Fijians are today fervent Christians.

yeah right! it's not filled with obscenities and put downs so it can be humorous smirk.gif

My beef with the j-b tool is posts like this one above. He's always crying and whining and pissy-faced that big bad trask is kicking sand in his face. Fuck you pussy, if you were in my neighborhood as a kid, we'd have laid waste to your sorry ass.

it appears we recall things differently. anyhow, you may have to think of something else next time then (and neener-neener or it's equivalent is probably not a good option)
