The Islands of Fiji were first discovered by Austronesians and later by Melanesians, and there are also some Polynesian influences. These first settlers arrived in 2,500 BC. According to legend, an armada of war canoes led by a great warrior chief named Lutunasobasoba and his general Degei first discovered Fiji. They were sailing from a land called Taganika with a sacred relic called the Katonimana, which in Fijian means “Box of Blessings”.
Between the islands of Mana and Likuliku near the Momi passage, the canoes came upon a storm. The high seas washed the Katonimana overboard. Believing it to be the will of the gods, Chief Lutunasobasoba told his people to leave tithe Katonimana be. Legend has it that the box is still there, under the sea, protected by 2 giant clams.
Some say that Degei returned to the Mamanuca islands to look for the Katonimana against Chief Lutunasobaszbas wishes. It is said he found the box of blessings and a large diamond near it that had fallen out of it. When he took the diamond, he was turned into a serpent with a diamond pattern on its head. He slithered away to live the rest of his life in the Sawa-i-lau caves as a serpent.
This isn’t the only serpent legend connected to the Sawa-i-lau caves. Some say the Sawa-i-lau caves, known locally as the “Heart of Yasawa”, are the home of Ulutini, a 10 headed serpent god.
Other legends about the Sawa-lau caves are that a brave Chief once hid his true love in the caves when her family tried to marry her off to another chief. He would visit her daily and bring her food until the time came when the two of them were able to escape to another island together.
There is also said to be a cavern within the Sawa-i-lau caves that any woman who is pregnant, and trying to hide it, will become trapped in. Does this legend have anything to do with the chief and his true love?
