Indian Cultural Centre Biography
India and Republic of Fiji share historical and cultural linkages. On 14 May 1879, "Leonidas", the ship with the first indentured workers from India, reached the shores of Fiji. Their numbers subsequently increased with the arrival of more ships from India. The descendants of these workers, now in their fifth generation, form nearly 38% of the population and are part of the economic, political and social fabric of the country. They have maintained their traditional Indian cultural links. Presence of the Indian Diaspora has contributed greatly to bilateral relations between the two countries.
The Indian Cultural Centre [ICC], Suva was the first Cultural Centre abroad established by ICCR in 1972. ICC, Suva offers courses in Carnatic Vocal Music, Kathak and Bharatanatyam Dance, Indian Classical Instrumental -- Tabla, Harmonium with Vocal, Yoga and Hindi.

2011 marks 40 years of the Indian Cultural Centre’s existence in Fiji. A year-long festival has been organized by ICC to commemorate this occasion:
40 YEARS OF ICC IN FIJI -- FESTIVAL OF INDIA 2011-12.A Mohawk Indian by the name of Lieutenant Frederick Loft sought an audience with the Privy Council and the King of England regarding the serious problems facing First Nations people throughout Canada. Both the Privy Council and the King encouraged Lt. Loft to organize his cause and upon his return to Canada. He did just that.
In 1919, Lt. Loft became instrumental in the establishment of the Indian League of Canada situated in Ontario. Its constitution was subsequently passed and adopted. The first goal of the League was to protect the rights of all First Nations people in Canada.
In 1921, the Annual Congress of the Indian League of Canada was held at the Thunderchild First Nation in Saskatchewan. For many of the Saskatchewan delegates who attended and participated, it was their first experience with organized Indian politics on a broad scale. John Tootoosis of the Poundmaker First Nation was one of the delegates at this meeting. During this time period, Tootoosis became extensively involved in these political changes.
In 1929, the Indian League of Canada was renewed in the Treaty #6 area and became known as the League of Indians of Western Canada. John Tootoosis became the first president of this regional organization. Residential schools and land issues were considered to be the key concerns of the day.
At approximately the same time the League of Indians of Western Canada was making inroads in Saskatchewan, a group of Treaty #4 First Nations; Pasqua, Piapot, and Muscowpetung, formed the Allied Bands. The leaders; Ben Pasqua, Andrew Gordon, Pat Cappo, Charles Pratt, Harry Ball and Abel Watetch joined together to express their displeasure over the Soldier Settlement Act. Under this federal legislation, First Nation veterans were eligible for land just like non-First Nation soldiers. However, the land allocated for First Nation veterans came from existing reserves. As a result, the First Nations land base was being eroded and many people were beginning to voice their concern. The Allied Bands soon expanded into the Fort Qu'Appelle area becoming the Saskatchewan Treaty Protection Association.
In 1933, the organization again changed its name to better reflect its mandate, becoming the Protective Association for Indians and their Treaties. They adopted the mandate to protect Treaty Rights, Indian Lands and Resources and to work for better education in schools on reserve.
