This research examines the cultural and economical background of East Indian indentured laborers in the Fiji Islands. It takes a view of the living conditions during and after their five year indentured labor contract, and studies the educational implications of these immigrants in Monterey County. Via historical, qualitative methodologies, ethnographic interviews and observations, and review of relevent literature, this research discovers the many educational problems encountered by the Fiji East Indian students and their families in Monterey County. It analyses the gathered data and suggests ways to facilitate the education of these Fiji East Indian immigrants.
