# Girmit (Indentured Labour) Heritage Site

Sigatoka, Fiji

A place of memory honouring the girmitiyas, the indentured labourers brought from India to Fiji's cane fields between 1879 and 1916. Their endurance under harsh contracts founded the Indo-Fijian community and reshaped the nation, now marked each Girmit Day.
