Moving to Lau, Fiji, in 1847 when he was about 21, he skilfully exploited kinship links to establish a power base there and in eastern Cakaudrove. His achievements were recognised in 1853 when his cousin King Tupou I appointed Ma`afu as Governor of the Tongans in Fiji. Acting as a putative champion of the lotu, Ma`afu undertook successful military campaigns elsewhere in Fiji and, after adding the Yasayasa Moala and the Exploring Isles to the nascent Lauan state, he was able to establish the Tovata ko Lau, a union of Lau, Cakaudrove and Bua, with himself as head. His power was formally recognised in 1869 when the Lauan chiefs appointed him as Tui Lau, a new title in the polity of Fiji. Ma`afu was now able to challenge Cakobau for the mastery of Fiji. After serving as Viceroy during the farcical planter oligarchy known as the Kingdom of Fiji, Ma`afu underwent a severe humiliation when, in order to maintain his power in Lau, he was forced to accede to the wishes of Fiji?s other great chiefs in offering their islands to Great Britain. He would end his days as Roko Tui Lau, a ?subordinate administrator? in the Crown Colony of Fiji, presiding over a province characterised by corruption and maladministration but where the legacy of his earlier innovative land reforms has endured. 606 $aAustralasian & Pacific history$2bicssc 607 $aFiji$xHistory 610 $ahistory 610 $apolitics 610 $apacific 610 $afiji 610 $aDemographics of Tonga 610 $aFijians 610 $aLakeba 610 $aLevuka 610 $aLomaloma 610 $aSeru Epenisa Cakobau 610 $aTonga 610 $aTongan language 610 $aTui Cakau 615 7$aAustralasian & Pacific history 676 $a996.11 700 $aSpurway$b John$0989851 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910131514003321 996 $aMa'afu, prince of Tonga, chief of Fiji$92264064 997 $aUNINA
