Kubuna

Kubuna was a Fijian chiefly confederacy centred on Bau, an island off eastern Viti Levu, where its leading chief held the title of Vunivalu.

Naulivou became Vunivalu of Bau in 1791, and firearms later helped him strengthen its power. Rivalry among the chiefly houses drove his successor Tanoa into exile. In 1837 Tanoa's son Seru Cakobau enlisted the Lasakau to overthrow the ruling faction on Bau and restored his father to power.
