Thousands of years ago, many of the islands were inhabited. Archaeologists continue to discover archaeological remains in Vanuatu, which indirectly proves that humans already lived here about 3,000 years ago. A large number of Melanesian migrants migrated from Papua New Guinea to Vanuatu, and they may have been the first inhabitants of Vanuatu.

The ancestors began their long journey in canoes, which also carried the animals and plants (such as taro, cassava, sweet potato, etc.) on which they depended.

As early as 1839, two missionaries came to Vanuatu to preach and preach, which ended in failure. In the days that followed, Missionaries from Catholics, presbyterian churches, and anglican churches came to Vanuatu to spread the teachings to the People of Vanuatu. As the number of immigrants increases, it also affects the local people. Many locals die of disease because they have no resistance to foreign germs. In addition to measles and dysentery, these foreign diseases include smallpox, influenza, emphysema, scarlet fever, mumps, whooping cough and even the common cold. Traditional herbs have no effect on these new diseases. Some people therefore regard Christianity as a cult and take an aggressive attitude. Nevertheless, the missionaries came to Vanuatu without hesitation and eventually had a huge impact on Melanesian society.
