A Fijian Affairs Amendment Decree has been gazetted which sees all written laws amended by deleting the word "Fijian" wherever it appears and wherever it currently refers to indigenous Fijians.
The word Fijian or indigenous Fijian has now been replaced with "i-Taukei", unless the context otherwise requires.
The decree signed off by President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau also stated that all state documents of any nature whatsoever, are consequentially amended by deleting the word "Fijian" wherever it appears and wherever it currently refers to indigenous Fijians, and replacing it with "i-Taukei", unless the context otherwise requires.
The Fijian Affairs Act has also been cited as the i-Taukei Affairs Act.
