Robinson Crusoe Island is a small island off the southwest coast of Fiji's main Viti Levu island. Originally restricted as a sacred island, Robinson Crusoe Island was first known as "Likuri Island", and has a history dating back 3,500 years. A pottery site found on the island has been dated back to 1500 BC. It is a traditional location among Fijian natives (the Lapita people) for traditional ceremonies and important Chielfy gatherings.
