Fijian Salusalu Explained | Cultural Refresh

Rae Dawn Matagi explains the significance of the Fijian Salusalu and breaks down how they are made.

Salusalu (pronounced as sar-loo-sar-loo) is Fijian for garland. It can be described as a necklace of flowers woven together by strands of vau (dried bark of wild hibiscus). A salusalu is made from colourful and scented flowers and is commonly worn around the neck and presented to a visitor as a sign of one’s appreciation.
