Fijian society is characterized by a strong sense of community and family ties. Traditional customs and values play a significant role in daily life, with respect for elders and communal decision-making being highly valued. The social structure often revolves around extended families, known as vanua, which include not just immediate relatives but also distant kin. Cultural practices in Fiji are rich and diverse, with influences from both indigenous Fijian traditions and Indian heritage due to historical migration. Festivals, such as Hibiscus Festival, showcase vibrant music, dance, and art, reflecting the island's unique identity. The importance of kava ceremonies also highlights social bonding and cultural significance in gatherings.
