Sawana

Sawana is a village on the Fijian island of Vanua Balavu, in the Lau[1] archipelago and is part of the Tikina of Lomaloma.

[1] Sawana is separated from the main village of Lomaloma only by a large ditch.

[2] As the population is predominantly of Tongan origin, church services are conducted in Tongan, as well as Fijian.

[2][3] The nomination for the title of the Tui Lau comes from the Tongan community in Sawana[4][5] and is then handed to the Vuanirewa clan on the island of Lakeba for a final decision[6]
