Rotuma is a Fijian Dependency, consisting of the island of Rotuma and nearby islets. The island group is home to a small but unique indigenous ethnic group which constitutes a recognizable minority within the population of Fiji, known as “Rotumans”.
Its population at the 2007 census was 2,002, although a large exodus of Rotumans from the island sees the population on mainland Fijian islands totaling 10,000.
