Description
While I was living in Suva in 2001, a television news item reported that pre-colonial objects in the Fiji Museum were moving around at night. Many of these objects were associated with cannibalism and were thought to be moving by means of ancestral witchcraft. When I asked a museum employee about this, she explained that the report was actually a retelling of an occurrence that had happened in the 1980s and which had been verified by other museum employees: The restlessness of these objects is indicative of the fact that, in the Suva region at least, they are associated with beliefs and practices that, far from belonging to an inert and harmless past, retain currency and potency within contemporary social life.
