Overview
This certificate was presented to Elsie Angas from Wellington, by the Fellowship of Fiji Yaqona (Kava) Drinkers for 'enjoying a bowl of Yaqona' when she was holidaying in Fiji in Aughust 1969.
The certificate portrays Fiji as a trouble-free Pacific paradise, happy to serve the foreign visitor's every whim. The entire tourist experience is evoked through the images: drinking, food, sightseeing, relaxation, swimming, sailing, shopping and cultural activities - the ultimate experience being the successful drinking of kava.
