Description This is ChapterⅠ of a story read by Saimoni Vatu from an old colonial Fijian news publication, Na Mata . The whole story was published in a series that spanned two years from September 1892 to December 1893 and was later republished as a series in 1932. The transcribed oral tradition retells of a migration that goes all the way to Lake Taganyika (in presentday Tanzania), including place names and the connection to Fiji. The story highlights the voyage of the iTaukei patriarch, Lutunasobasoba , on his vessel, the Kaunitoni . One interesting part of the story was the loss of a stone chest containing the tools of trade and the book of languages as they journeyed to Nakauvadra.
