Executive Board Meeting 8 June 2010 Executive Board Meeting 8 June 2010 Agenda item no. 12 Prepared by: Don McMichael Date: 28 May 2010 Topic: 2010 Bursary Program 1. Recommendation 1.1 that a special bursary for attending the Shanghai ICOM General Conference of A$2,200 be awarded to Ms Tarisi Vunidilo, Secretary General of the Pacific Islands Museums Association (PIMA); 1.2 that the availability of an additional bursary for attending the Shanghai Conference be advertised in the ICOM Australia Newsletter with a new closing date of 30 June. 2. Background 2.1 On 16 February 2010, the availability of two ICOM Australia bursaries of A$2,000 for members attending the Shanghai General Conference was advertised in ICOM Newsletter. The closing date for applications was 31 March 2010. Successful applicants were to have been advised by 16 April 2010, but no decision was made for reasons set out below. 2.2 An amount of $5000 was identified for Bursaries in the 2010 Budget of which $4000 has been allocated for attendance at the Shanghai Conference. 3. Issues 3.1 Only one application was received by the closing date, from Ms Tarisi Vunidilo, the newly appointed Secretary General of PIMA, but she did not meet the eligibility requirements on two counts – first, she had not been a member of ICOM for three consecutive years (having been given membership by ICOM Australia only when appointed in February this year) and second, she is ex-officio a member of the Executive Board (although she has not yet participated in any Board meeting). 2/10 3.2 Despite this, I believe we should award her a bursary, as her participation in an ICOM General Conference would be a great opportunity for her to establish links with ICOM internationally and to give PIMA representation at the Conference. Her application and supporting documents are at Attachment A 3.3 In my view, the Board should make an exception to the eligibility criteria for her and offer her a bursary on the same terms and conditions as if she had been an eligible applicant. Her application indicates that she will contribute $A350 of her own funds for daily living expenses and that PIMA will meet the cost of her Conference Registration Fee. She requested $2086.82 to cover airfares Port Vila-Sydney-Shanghai-Sydney- Port Vila and accommodation costs. Given that she may now have missed the early- bird registration deadline, I suggest we offer her a bursary of A$2,200. 3.4 As $2,800 of the budgetted bursary funds remains unspent, I recommend that we advertise the availability of one more bursary, using the original eligibility and selection criteria with a closing date of 30 June [or 31 July ?]. 4. Attachment A ICOM AUSTRALIA BURSARY PROGRAM APPLICATION TARISI VUNIDILO, SECRETARY GENERAL, PACIFIC ISLANDS MUSEUMS ASSOCIATION (PIMA) INTENTION I have worked in the museum sector since 1994. Through the years I have worked mainly in the Pacific region assisting museums in workshops, archaeological research and staff support on museum projects. I have not attended an international ICOM meeting before, and I find this 2010 ICOM meeting as a wonderful opportunity to increase my knowledge in museology, but most importantly to bring back what I learn to the Pacific region. The three areas of focus for my role are training development, advocacy and accessing funding for PIMA projects. I believe that I will acquire a lot of museum knowledge base at this meeting. ICOM COMMITTMENT The Pacific islands Museum Association (PIMA) has played a key role in the last decade providing training and up skilling our Museum staff in the area of conservation, pest management and heritage management. I am one of those who have benefited from such training and here I am, hoping that I can be able to share what I have benefited from to others. In the area of capacity building, PIMA is now working towards increasing participation of our young Pacific islanders to be part of heritage management and work alongside our elders, many of whom are willing to pass on their knowledge to our younger people. Attending this international meeting will surely provide me with alot of technical skills and network to strengthen PIMA’s plans to assist our communities to actively participate in recording and maintain our heritage for the benefit of our younger generation. PIMA is one regional organisation that supports ICOM’s philisophies, and my attendance at this event, will enhance this relationship even further. Thank you for your support! Tarisi Vunidilo SECRETARY GENERAL, PIMA 3/10 30 March, 2010 Working together, preserving, celebrating and nurturing the heritage of the peoples of the Pacific Islands Dear Sir or Madam, RE: SUPPORT LETTER FOR TARISI VUNIDILO, SECRETARY GENERAL-PIMA I am writing this letter of support for Ms. Tarisi Vunidilo for her bursary application to attend the ICOM meeting in Shanghai, China. Ms. Vunidilo is the Secretary General for PIMA (Pacific Islands Museums Association). Ms Vunidilo’s attendance at the ICOM meeting is very important as this will indeed boost her current museum knowledge and extend her museum network internationally. It will also benefit her role in facilitating future training accessing for all 22 members countries of Pacific Islands museums and cultural centres. PIMA currently do not have funding to support Ms. Vunidilo’s travel. Your support for her bursary application is gratefully appreciated. For more information on Ms. Vunidilo and her application, please contact me on [email protected] or by phone (679) 331 6957.

  • The Archaeology of Lapita Dispersal in Oceania
    The archaeology of Lapita dispersal in Oceania pers from the Fourth Lapita Conference, June 2000, Canberra, Australia / Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and Island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics, as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for Southeast Asia and blue for the Pacific islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers, and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: coastal sites in southern New South Wales. R.J. Lampert (1971) Volume 2: Ol Tumbuna: archaeological excavations in the eastern central Highlands, Papua New Guinea. J.P.

  • Sustainability of the Kava Trade
    Sustainability of the Kava Trade Nancy J Pollock The ban on the sale of kava pills, imposed in 2002 by some European countries, severely compromised the sustainability of the trade in kava roots from the Pacifi c. However, the lifting of restrictions in October 2008 has allowed trade to resume, with “a 2 year road map” drawn up to pur- sue legal and alternative options for the registration of kava in Europe (ikec 2008, 1). The pill form in which kava has been sold in Europe as an herbal remedy for anxiety and insomnia was manufactured by German and other European pharmaceutical companies using kava root material imported from the Pacifi c. Claims that toxic elements in the kavalactones (the main chemical components) damaged the health of individuals tak- ing the pills were met with counterclaims by researchers and those who have grown and drunk kava beverages in the Pacifi c for many years with very few side effects. The only problematic physical symptoms reported by frequent consumers of the beverage were scaly skin and bloodshot eyes (Lebot 2006; Ernst 2007). Kava farmers in Vanuatu, Fiji, Pohnpei, and elsewhere in the Pacifi c sought assistance to have the ban lifted so that they could resume export production (see, eg, Gruenwald and Mueller 2003; ikec 2008). Sustainability of the kava trade is at risk. According to the World Commission on Environment and Development, sustainability refers to the development needs of current generations that must be met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Suzuki and Dressel 2002).

LIVING IN TWO WORLDS “Challenges Facing Pacific Communities: The Case of Fijians in New Zealand” A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Maori & Pacific Development at the University of Waikato By KALISITO VUNIDILO 2006 ABSTRACT Living in two worlds is an insider perspective of how indigenous Pacific Immigrant communities, in this specific case Fijian’s living in New Zealand face the challenges of living two cultures in a developed country like New Zealand. The quest to hold on to one’s indigenous culture while adapting to another, in order to survive the realities of everyday circumstances can be a complicated struggle. The main objective of this research was to collate and analyze information from Fijian families who migrated to New Zealand from 1970’s to the mid 1980’s with reference to the challenges they faced.
