From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adi Litiana Maopa was a prominent member of two of Fiji's main chiefly houses, those of the Tui Nayau, the paramount chief of the Lau Islands, and the chiefly house of the Vunivalu of Bau, the paramount chief of the Kubuna Confederacy.
Adi Maopa's father was the Tui Nayau, Ratu Tevita Uluilakeba. Her mother was Adi Asenaca Kakua, a daughter of the Tui Viti and Vunivalu of Bau, Ratu Seru Epenisa Cakobau, via his union with Adi Litia Samanunu.
She married Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi I in November, 1886, with whom she had six children, including Adi Vuikaba, Ratu Tiale Vuiyasawa, and Ratu Sir Josefa Vanaaliali Lalabalavu Sukuna, one of Fiji's greatest statesmen of the 20th Century.
