Flag of Fiji
flag
The Flag of Fiji was created on October 1970. The history of Fiij dates back to ancient times. There are many theories of how the Fijian race came into existence. Around 1500 BC, Fiji was settled by Melaneasion sea farers. According to native oral legends Fijians were also descendants of a nomadic tribe from Tanzania.[source?]
