🌺 Happy Fiji Day from Karalundi! 🇫🇯 We appreciate our Fijian staff for sharing their beautiful culture with us as they celebrated Fiji Day with the school. Our Girls Dorm took up the challenge and performed a traditional Fijian Meke — their very first time learning and performing a dance from another culture! 💃🏽✨ Through this experience, our First Nation students learned about teamwork, respect, unity, rhythm, and the meaning behind Fijian expressions of joy and storytelling through dance.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to this song and excuse my white head 😂 “𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐔” The process of mourning for a close loved one in the Fijian culture which happens for 100 nights after one’s burial where a person will fast something dear to them for that duration. “𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐔“ When another close loved one passes in the process of Tabu, the first Tabu becomes void and you are able to break the first Tabu until the burial of the second loved one.
