  • Tahitian Courts in Tahiti and Its Dependencies : 1842-1945
    367 Tahitian courts in Tahiti and its dependencies : 1842-1945 Yves-Louis Sage* In this paper Dr. Sage traces the rise and fall of the native court system of Tahiti from the beginning of the French Protectorate in 1842 till the grant of French citizenship to all Tahitians in 1945. The first significant contacts with the islands of French Polynesia were made by Europeans in the second half of the 18th century: Wallis and Bougainville were in Tahiti in 1767 and 1768. The first scientific expedition with an interest in Tahiti was undertaken in 1769 by Cook who stopped over in Tahiti to observe the passage of Venus on behalf of the Royal Society of London. It was in honour of that eminent society that Tahiti and its neighbouring islands were named the Society Isles. The first missionaries were from the London Missionary Society. When they arrived in Tahiti in 1797 they were considered not as the bearers of a new religion but as likely supporters of Otou the son of Pomare in his struggles with other local chiefs. The aim of the missionaries from the London Missionary Society was "to free the inhabitants from superstition, to communicate to them the truths of the revelation and to improve their present conditions." In the circumstances they very soon got caught up in the politics of the Tahitian chiefs and set out to control the temporal affairs of the islands in a very strict fashion - using Christian morality as a simple policing regulation. Gradually the missionaries and the European traders founded a dynastyf Pomare II openly embraced Christianity and began a significant wave of conversion.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Editorial In accordance with the timeline defined two years ago, 2018 was the year Air Tahiti Nui completed its transformation, thus meeting key challenges for our strategic orientations in the years ahead. Among the most significant projects to have a structural impact on our company were the rebranding and redesign of the Air Tahiti Nui universe, the arrival of the first aircraft in our new Boeing 787-9 fleet, the creation of the airline’s first subsidiary, the move into our new head office close to the heart of our activity, and finally the celebrations for our 20th anniversary in service. This was the year they all became reality. Summary Parallel to these changes that mark a true turning point in Air Tahiti Nui’s history, the Tiare airline had to simultaneously adapt to an aeronautical environment in the midst of change due to the arrival of multifaceted competition from two new operators on our route to equalization. This new, out of the ordinary competitive context (+40% extra capacity over the full year) sparked an Key figures and highlights of 2018 4 inevitable price war, generating a significant strain on unit revenues. The situation was amplified by a sharp increase in fuel costs that was not absorbed by ticket fares. Despite this, as a well-established airline both with visitors and Polynesians, Air Tahiti Nui managed to hold its own rather admirably by maintaining its status as the undisputed leader of the market with Legal status and capital 5 57.8% of international traffic transported over the year.
