CONVERSION AND CONTINUITY: Response to Missionization in the Papua New Guinea Highlands by Robert Millard Smith A thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University. 1981 All information presented in this thesis is derived from my own research unless otherwise stipulated and listed at the end of the work. / < ,i/. j ' !!- Robert Millard Smith 10. 5 . 2l Abstract The thesis deals with missionization in the Papua New Guinea Highlands and particularly with tne Lutheran impact in the Eastern Highlands. Based partly on fieldwork research undertaken between 1976-78 at Kiseveloka in the Lufa District, Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea, the study sets the mission impact against the history of contact between Highlanders and Europeans in the 1930s. The Lutheran impact at Kiseveloka and elsewhere in the Highlands is examined, focussing on two issues: the nature of indigenous response to contact and evangelization, and the role of New Guinean mission workers in the rapid conversion of Highland populations during the 1950s and 1960s. Conversion and related change in village society is considered in terms of the interaction between older political and economic processes in Highland societies and the impositions of missions and government. In the light of this, the following issues are considered at length: the nature of Lutheran evangelistic policy and practice; changes in village leadership; the nature of congregational leadership in the current setting of post-conversion decline in mission support; and,finally, the factors underlying this decline and village rejection of Christianity. Acknowledgements The fieldwork research on which this thesis is largely based was undertaken while I was a research scholar in the Department of Prehistory and Anthropolgy, Faculty of Arts, Australian National University. I am grateful to the Faculty of Arts for generous financial assistance in meeting fieldwork expenses. In the Department of Prehistory and Anthropology, I am indebted to my supervisors Professor J.A.W. Forge and Dr. A.F. Gell for intellectual support and criticism of earlier drafts of the thesis; to my post­ graduate colleague Yadran Mimica, to whom I owe much insight and other debts; to Mrs. J. Goodrum and Mr. D. Jervis for their help in producing the maps and figures used in the thesis. I am also grateful to Ms. V. Lyons of the Department of Geography for designing these maps and figures. My primary debt is to the people of Kiseveloka, Lufa District, Eastern Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea, among whom I resided between 1976-78, and especially to the residents of the Laukeli and Krigoguma settlements. Among the many Kivuluga and Move people who made the research possible, I should mention: Kafe and Ailan, Upe, Foreda, Yugufa, Solala, Kama, Bena, Aburiaba, Hau'eva, Kabiri, Iyaiyo, Abogosuta, Duba and Roko, Kokoruma, Yugu and Waiyo-Waiyo of Kivuluga; Veyamo, Imara, Haitene and Igu of Move; and Gorio, Sia and Haguvi for their companionship. In the Rongo circuit I am indebted to the Revd. G.L. Renck for his initial help, and especially in generously providing me with copies of taped interviews conducted by him with three of the early Lutheran evangelists in the area (see Bibliography B (i v)); and to Muhucyuc and Yowing for their friendship and hospitality. More generally in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea, I am grateful totheRevd. Dr. T. Ahrens (then of the Melanesian Institute at Goroka) for his assistance; to the Revd. R. Blacklock of the National Office of ELCPNG (Lae), who on behalf of the Rt. Revd. Z. Zurenuo gave me permission to consult archival materials, and to Mrs. F. Helbig for her help in locating relevant documents; to the Revd. H. Fischer of Tarabo for making station reports available to me. I received help from missionaries of the New Tribes Mission, and should thank the following for this and their kind hospitality: Mr. and Mrs. "Chippy" Trigg, Ms. C. Gutwein, and Mr. and Mrs. "Tus" Tuscelli of the Tagai station, and Mr. and Mrs. D. Pletts of Kogoraipa. At Goroka I benefited from early conversations with Mr. P. Munster (then of the Goroka Teacher Training College), and am especially indebted to Mr. and Mrs. R. Giddings for their considerable help and unstinting hospitality. Richard Giddings (then Assistant Provincial Commissioner at the Eastern Highlands Provincial Office, Goroka) was also of great help to me in locating archival material at the Provincial Office. I am indebted to Mr. W. Standish of the Department of Political Science (Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University) for bringing to my attention primary source materials for the Chimbu area. Finally, I wish to thank Mrs. M. Lanigan for typing the final proofs of this thesis, and Mr. M. Niblett for his considerable help with proof-reading.

The dominant theme is social change. In this introductory chapter a number of theoretical issues are explored which bear on the approach adopted in this study. Here we are principally concerned with perspectives and research methods and the problems which underlie these matters. The process of change among colonial peoples has been largely bound up with the mission impact. We commence with a discussion of the dominant theme of change in the missionary enterprise. Missions and Change If imperialism can in part be taken to mean that process by which one culture out of a sense of its own superiority comes to dominate other cultures, then the missionary enterprise is imperial­ istic. The missionary enterprise is born from assumptions of superiority; not in this case necessarily from a racial, political, economic, or more generally a sense of cultural superiority, but from a sense of religious superiority. The central assumption built into the mission expansion is the unquestioned superiority of the Christian gospel over and against every other form of religion. To superiority is added exclusiveness, for as the missionary perceives it the claim of the gospel is that on it and it alone hangs the destiny of mankind. Only the gospel offers the means to salvation to a lost and doomed world. The missionary, especially during the 19th century, may have shared the general imperialist assumptions of others, seeing his lot 2. partly in terms of vague ideas about the "white man's burden" and ‘‘uplifting the natives". It was after all the missionary Livingstone who coined the imperialist slogan 'Christianity, Commerce, Civilization'. But that is not the point. For however such notions help to understand the reasons why the imperial powers bumbled their way into the colonial adventure, they do not explain much about the missionary enterprise and the drives which motivated it. The missionary neither bumbled his way into Africa, the Pacific, and elsewhere, nor was his presence there the result of any vagueness of purpose. The religious imperialism of the missionary movement of the 19th and 20th centuries was a response to what was understood as the divine imperative under­ lying the standard missionary slogans: "Go ye into all the world", the purpose of which being to "Preach the Gospel to every living creature". The exclusive claims of the gospel and its universal applicability to "all sorts of conditions of Men" were to the missionary mind unequivocal matters. Indeed, there would have been little point in being a missionary if one thought otherwise. The missionary enterprise commenced with assurance. Moreover, the missionary was fortified by an understanding that he was about God's work. Not on him, a mere instrument, did the evangelistic task depend.

  • Abstract of Counting Systems of Papua New Guinea and Oceania
    Abstract of http://www.uog.ac.pg/glec/thesis/ch1web/ABSTRACT.htm Abstract of Counting Systems of Papua New Guinea and Oceania by Glendon A. Lean In modern technological societies we take the existence of numbers and the act of counting for granted: they occur in most everyday activities. They are regarded as being sufficiently important to warrant their occupying a substantial part of the primary school curriculum. Most of us, however, would find it difficult to answer with any authority several basic questions about number and counting. For example, how and when did numbers arise in human cultures: are they relatively recent inventions or are they an ancient feature of language? Is counting an important part of all cultures or only of some? Do all cultures count in essentially the same ways? In English, for example, we use what is known as a base 10 counting system and this is true of other European languages. Indeed our view of counting and number tends to be very much a Eurocentric one and yet the large majority the languages spoken in the world - about 4500 - are not European in nature but are the languages of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific, Africa, and the Americas. If we take these into account we obtain a quite different picture of counting systems from that of the Eurocentric view. This study, which attempts to answer these questions, is the culmination of more than twenty years on the counting systems of the indigenous and largely unwritten languages of the Pacific region and it involved extensive fieldwork as well as the consultation of published and rare unpublished sources.

Stewart KINSHIP relations are often considered by anthropologists, as well as by those whom they study, to be at the heart of community processes, involving solidarity, reciprocity, reproduction, and alliance. This « kinship model » of small-scale soci- eties throughout Melanesia has implicitly informed recent formulations regarding ideas of personhood in this part of the world, in which social and relational aspects of the person have been strongly foregrounded in the literature. At the same time, the study of kinship systems, seen as based on structured forms of terminologies, has tended to be placed into the background, whereas it was made central in an earlier phase of theorizing, even if from diverse points of view (e.g. « extensionist » vs « category word » theorists, pro- and anti-genealogy theorists, descent vs alliance theory). In this paper we aim to make a contribution to the study of kinship rela- tions and theories of personhood, but principally by looking at aspects of histori- cal change in systemic terms.

    FROM "SEXUAL ANTAGONISM" TO "DOMINATION": THE DISCOURSE OF GENDER IN THE ETHNOGRAPHY OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA By Pelly R. E. Shaw B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1976 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Anthropology and Sociology) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September 1991 Pelly Shaw, 1991 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of Anthropology The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date October 7, 1991 DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This thesis is an examination of the evolution of the anthropological understandings of gender relations and the social and political positions of women in several New Guinea societies. Since the 1950's the question of sexual inequality and the domination of women has permeated the discourse of gender in the ethnography of Papua New Guinea, particularly the Highlands. Key pieces of ethnographic literature produced from the 1950's to the present were examined, beginning with the "sexual antagonism" model of the 50's and 60's (Read, Meggitt, Langness), followed by the "women as persons" model of the 1970's (Faithorn, Feil, Strathern), the model of "sexual complementarity" proposed by Lowlands ethnographers (Weiner, Errington and Gewertz), the symbolic "deconstruction" of domination (Strathern, Lederman, Biersack), and the recent neo-marxist "reconstruction" of domination (Josephides, Godelier).
