Indians have become the largest racial group in the Colony. Almost all tailors, laundrymen and boot-makers are Indians, some of whose women and children are shown in the photo. The first Indians were brought to Fiji as indentured labour in the 1880's. The Fijians precede any event of importance with the traditional offering of Yaqona (kava) and a magiti (feast).
