    Actually I lived in Fiji not long ago, this apology occurred as the people of Fijian village, where the incident happened all those years ago, believed they were cursed as a result of eating the priest ‘Thomas Baker’ who accidentally insulted the chief by touching his (th e Chiefs) head when dislodging a comb that had become stuck in his hair. They believed the curse would be lifted by apologizing to the ancestors of this man years later

    If the people really did believe that there was a curse over them, then why didn’t they say sorry sooner?
