About this event
A remembrance gathering marking the arrival of the first indentured labourers in Fiji. Readings from descendants, bhajan, a shared meal, and an oral history recording booth for families who want their story kept.
The recordings go to the community archive with the family's permission, and a copy always goes back to the family.
