Tubou is a village on the Fijian island of Lakeba, with a population of about 2,000.[1] One of eight villages on Lakeba, it is considered the capital of the Lau Islands, being the seat of the Vuanirewa clan, a powerful chiefly family[2] from which Fiji's longtime Prime Minister and President, Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara (1920–2004)[1][3] and one of Fiji's famous cricketers I. L. Bula (born 1921), hailed.
The Tongan-Fijian warlord Enele Ma'afu, who conquered much of eastern and northern Fiji in the mid-19th century, is buried in Tubou,[4] as are Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna (1888–1958), Fiji's first modern statesman,[5] and Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara.[3] Many early Christian missionaries are also buried in Tubou.
