  • Metronome Trip 1 to Nanumea, Nanumaga and Niutao, 18 June - 4 July 2016
    Tuvalu Fisheries Department: Coastal Section: Trip Report Metronome Trip 1 to Nanumea, Nanumaga and Niutao, 18 June - 4 July 2016 Lale Petaia, Semese Alefaio, Tupulaga Poulasi, Viliamu Petaia, Filipo Makolo, Paeniu Lopati, Manuao Taufilo, Maani Petaia, Simeona Italeli, Leopold Paeniu, Tetiana Panapa, Aso Veu 9th August 2016 The mission After nearly a month of preparation, the mission to fulfil the first metronome trip under the NAPA II project was made to the three northern islands (Niutao, Nanumea & Nanumaga). The team mission includes several fisheries officers from both the coastal and the Operational and Development division, two NAPA II officers and three other staffs from other government departments. The full list of the team is provided on the appendix. Although, there were many target activities conducted during this mission, however, the focus of this report is to highlight specific activities that were undertaken specifically by the coastal division staffs during this trip. The overall objective of the mission is to implement fisheries related activities under component 1 of the NAPA II project. These are; I. House hold surveys on socio-economic data II. Collection of Ciguatera data III. Run creel survey trials IV. Canoe and boat survey V. LMMA work VI. Collection of fishery information and data The mission departed Funafuti on 18th June, and return on 4th July. The first island to visit was Niutao, where we stayed for 9 days. The visit to Niutao was the longest out of the three islands due to the unexpected problem we encounter during our stay on the island which will be mention later on this report.

  • Transformations of the Meeting-House in Tuvalu
    Transformations of the meeting-house in Tuvalu Michael Goldsmith My problem is this: the Tuvaluan meeting-house is displayed as a symbol of indigenous culture in many different contexts. It is therefore often assumed, by both outside commentators and Tuvaluans themselves, to be of long standing in the history of that culture. Yet the word maneapa, by which the meeting-house is generically known, is of Gilbertese origin.1 Moreover, the weight of evidence suggests that not only the word but probably even the type of building itself is a post-colonial borrowing or implantation. If, indeed, there were no maneapa as such in Tuvalu before British hegemony was es­ tablished, then questions arise as to what, if anything, existed in its place; why the maneapa was introduced or borrowed; why it has achieved its current importance and, further, why it has become a symbol of national identity. In this connection, the concept of “transformation” calls out for a strong measure of historical attention. Yet the meaning of history is not as self-evident as the traditional definitions imply, with their references to narrative, sequences of events and so on (Braudel 1980:27). Another avenue, almost a new orthodoxy, has been explored under the influence of structuralism. Bather than using sequences of events to explain structure, some anthropologists use the delineation of structure to explain events. While Lêvi-Strauss’ name is the most closely linked to this programme (1966-.passim), even historical materialists find it beguiling. Godelier, for example, reverses the con­ ventional Marxist understanding of history with his contention that it explains nothing but is the category which itself needs to be explained, once structure has been revealed (Godelier 1977:49).

HEDLEY, Conchologist to the Australian Museum« INTRODUOTORY NOTE. THE Local Oommittee of the "Funafuti Ooral Reef Boring Expedition, of the Royal Society" (London), in charge of Prof. Sollas, LL.D., F.R.S., having suggested to the Trustees of the Australian Museum that one of their Officers should be deputed to accompany the Expedition, Mr. Oharles Hedley was selected for the purpose. Mr. Hedley left Sydney in H. M. S. "Penguin," under the command of Oapt. Mervyn Field, R.N., on May 1st, arriving at Funafuti on May 21st. He remained on the island for two and a half months, leaving in the same vessel. On the return voyage to Fiji, the Island of N ukulailai was touched at, wh'lre scientific investigations were renewed for two days. Mr. Hedley finally reached Sydney 011 August 22nd. During his stay on Funafuti, Mr. Hedley succeeded in amassing an interesting collection, particularly of Invertebrate and Ethno­ logical objects, together with much valuable scientific information. The collections are now in process of description by the Scientific Staff of the Museum, and the results are being published in the order in which the study of the various groups is completed.

  • Chapter 1 the Island of Nanumea
    Chapter 1 The Island of Nanumea Nanumea has been an independent political unit for most of its history. From its founding, up to the time when Britain created a protectorate including Tuvalu with the islands of Kiribati to the north, Nanumea stood alone as a self-governing chieftainship. We know from traditional tales and from similarities in language and culture that the nine islands of Te Atu Tuvalu were in communication with each other for centuries through occasional voyages and visits. The northern islands of Nanumaga and Niutao, which are closest to Nanumea, seem to have been in more regular contact with Nanumea than were the Tuvalu islands further to the south and east. Contacts were not frequent, and each Tuvalu island was an independent place, not united into a “country” or a larger chieftainship spanning several islands. The Nanumean World in Ancient Times How long has Nanumea existed as a society? We have no way to be absolutely certain about this, although we can arrive at a rough estimate through several different avenues. Using evidence from scientific sources, we know that the ancestors of the present- day Polynesians voyaged into the Pacific from southeast Asia up to 5000 years ago. These people, speaking languages related to present-day Polynesian languages, moved gradually over several thousand years through Melanesian island groups such as New Britain and New Ireland, and later Vanuatu, reaching Fiji at least 3,200 years ago (this would be at least 1,200 B.C.) Tonga and Samoa were settled after this, and together with Fiji, these three island groups were the core cultural area from which all the islands in what is called Polynesia were settled.
