Itu'tiu

Itu'tiu

Itu'tiu is the physically largest of the seven districts on the island of Rotuma, a Dependency of the Republic of Fiji. Its name means "Big District" in the Rotuman language, and is traditionally ranked third in terms of chiefly precedence, determined by consumption order in the politically charged kava ceremony. This was determined by its successful allegiance in the Rotuman Religious Wars between the Roman Catholic districts of Juju and Pepjei, (collectively referred to as Faguta), against the predominantly Wesleyan districts alliance, led by the chiefs of Noa'tau, Oinafa, Malha'a, Itu'muta and Itu'tiu.

Itu'tiu's population is the largest of all the districts on the island.
