The Bourewa settlers came from the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea.
The Bourewa settlers lived close to the sea, depended on the sea, but later planted taro and yams and introduced chicken, dogs and rats.
Human settlement spread from Bourewa around the Rove Peninsula and to Qoqo Island, along the south coast of Viti Levu and into central Fiji (Moturiki) by about 1000 BC.
