Tui Nayau
''Tu’i Nayau'' is the title held by the paramount chief of the Lau Islands in Fiji and is synonymous with the title holders over lordship of these islands. When translated, ''Tu’i Nayau'' means "Lord of Nayau", an island north of Lakeba, the latter accepted by many to be the chiefly island in the Lauan archipelago.〔''The Three Legged Stool Selected Writings of Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna'', edited by Deryck Scarr. Published by Macmillan Education.〕 Prior to being installed as ''Tu’i Nayau'', the claimant must first be confirmed upon the decision of the noble households making up the Vuanirewa clan and then installed ''Sau'' or High Chief of Lau. Not every ''Sau'' has been installed ''Tu’i Nayau''.〔''Lau Islands, Fiji'' by A.M Hocart. Published by the Bishop Museum, Hawaii.〕 ==Origins of the title== ''Tu’i Nayau'' was originally an independent title referring specifically to the overlord of Nayau, then separate from the Lakeba State. The earliest oral records suggest that the progenitor of the leading family of Nayau stemmed from the ''Tu’i'' Naosara, son of Kubunavanua, celebrated chief and folk hero of Moala. Naosara had two sons, Buivaroro and Kalouyalewa.
