Introductory. — The commendatory references of the Chairman of the Permanent Mandates Commission to the manner in which the Report for the year 1922-1923 was prepared have been noted with appreciation. The general arrangement of the information embodied in the Report now being presented conforms to that of the 1922-1923 Report. PART I. — NOTES ON THE NATIVES. § 2. Appointment of Government Anthropologist. — During the year 1923-1924 a Govern­ ment Anthropologist was appointed to the Service of the Territory, and. in view of the fact that the notes on the Natives which have appeared in previous reports relate mainly to the stocks speaking Melanesian languages, he has, in the course of his first report, included a general description of some of the customs of the natives speaking Papuan languages. § 3. Report of Government Anthropologist. — The report of the Government Anthropologist is as follows : — “ It has already been pointed out that the present inhabitants of the Territory present an extraordinary mixture of physical type, language and culture. The principal racial ele­ ments of the mainland appear to be Negrito, Papuan and Melanesian. On the larger islands, such as New Britain and Bougainville, the Papuan and Melanesian groups are widely distri­ buted in relatively small communities, but the Negrito element has not been definitely located, although people of short stature have been seen in the Baining Mountains, New Britain. Among the islands to the West of the Admiralty Group there are definite indications of influ­ ence from the East Indian Archipelago and, perhaps, Micronesia, and in some of the Eastern Islands Polynesian influences are indicated. Negritoes. “ Haddon 1 points out that New Guinea, in very early times, was probably inhabited by two varieties of woolly haired peoples—the Pigmy Ulotrichi (Negritoes ) and the taller Ulotrichi (now called Papuans). In speaking generally of Negritoes, he says : 1 The Negritoes are collectors and hunters, and never cultivate the soil unless they have been modified by contact with more advanced peoples. ’ “ The Negrito representatives of to-day live usually in the mountain regions and, until brought under control, are constantly at war with one another. Their habitations are gene­ rally clustered on almost inaccessible peaks and spurs in a setting of dense jungle, precipitous gorges and dangerous mountain rivers. In Dutch New Guinea, Wollaston 2 found and de­ scribed the Tapiro, a Pygmy people with an average stature of 144.7 cm. Burrows3 met six mountain men in the bush between the Fly and Strickland Rivers, Papua. Their average height was 4 ft. 10 in. to 4 ft. 11 in., and the largest chest measured 34 inches. Negrito-Papuan mixtures have been found in various parts of the Owen Stanley Range. 1 Chinnery 5 found groups of short people, extending from the watershed of the Lakekamu (Mount Chapman) to the watershed of the Waria. Schultze6 collected evidence of a Pygmy element in the moun­ tains at the headwaters of the Sepik. Kai. “ For many interesting details of the life of a Pygmy-Papuan stock (that of the Kai inhabitants of the Rawlinson and Sattelberg Ranges, north of the Huon Gulf) we are mdebted to Keysser. In referring to the religion of these people, Haddon 8 says : — ‘ The Kai are a people of mixed Pygmy and Papuan descent, who speak a Pa­ puan language and inhabit the Rawlinson and Sattelberg Ranges, north of the Huon Gulf. They may be regarded as very primitive, and, as they have been carefully s Hatjrlon, A. C-. “ The Wanderings of Peoples, 1912 .” a ^ Gaston, A. F.

The powers or qualities of a person or thing belong also to his soul-stuff, and may be transmitted by contact w i t h or without the agency of words of charming — e.g., yam or taro stones with w h ic h shoots are touched before planting out, or the bone of the forearm of a dead hunter. The soul-stuff can be isolated or withdrawn. There is a mutual attraction b e t w e e n allied soul-stuffs ; thus a white leaf of the size and form of the egg of a m e g a p o d will guide the Kai in his search for eggs in the bush.

  • Project Proposal Form 2019
    Project Proposal Form 2019 Introduction One of the key objectives of the National ICT Policy is to ensure equitable access to Information and Communication Technology Services. The policy objective is founded on the premise that ICT is seen as necessary tool for economic growth and social development. The Universal Access Board within NICTA is mandated to give effect to this policy by identifying and developing projects aimed at bridging the telecommunications and ICT gap that limits the opportunities available to ordinary citizens. Within this context, the National Information and Communications Technology Authority (NICTA) is inviting stakeholders including the general public, ICT operators and service providers to propose or suggest any projects or programs that you think are consistent with the overarching goals within the ICT sector and that NICTA should consider in its current or future programs. Proposals that are accepted will be considered by the UAS Board for potential inclusion in the 2019 UAS programs. Scope of Proposals All stakeholders including the general public, ICT operators and service providers are invited to propose or suggest any project for NICTA’s consideration. The submitted proposals should seek to promote the long-term economic and social development of Papua New Guinea through projects that will among other things, encourage the development of ICT infrastructure and improve the availability of ICT services within the country including under-served communities and geographic areas. Proponents are advised to note that submitting proposals does not secure funding/assistance from NICTA in any form or guarantee inclusion in the UAS programs. Submitted proposals will only be received as project concepts for NICTA’s consideration.

  • Diversity of Banana Cultivars and Their Usages in the Papua New Guinea Lowlands: a Case Study Focusing on the Kalapua Subgroup
    People and Culture in Oceania, 34: 55-78, 2018 Diversity of Banana Cultivars and their Usages in the Papua New Guinea Lowlands: A Case Study Focusing on the Kalapua Subgroup Shingo Odani,* Kaori Komatsu,** Kagari Shikata-Yasuoka,*** Yasuaki Sato,**** and Koichi Kitanishi***** The purpose of this study was to assess the diversity of banana cultivars and their usage in 3 lowland areas of Papua New Guinea, where bananas are a staple food. We focus on the kalapua subgroup, which is of genome group ABB. We found 3 subgroups of banana at the 3 research sites: the kalapua subgroup, a subgroup of cooking bananas other than kalapua, and a subgroup used as dessert bananas. We observed that kalapua subgroup cultivars and other subgroup cultivars are planted in separate gardens, likely because the growth rate and tolerance to climate differ between kalapua and other subgroup cultivars. A nutritional status assessment revealed that in the kalapua subgroup, nutrient levels, except for carbohydrates, are comparatively low. Thus, farmers classify and produce kalapua and other cultivars separately. Kalapua, which are known for their tolerance for both dry conditions and flooding, are cultivated as a sustainable energy supply. Other banana cultivars may be grown because of their nutritional composition, as a matter of preference, or as a means of cash income. Keywords: banana, Papua New Guinea, kalapua, taxonomy, farming system, nutrition 1. Introduction Plants of the genus Musa whose fruits are edible are generally called banana.1 Almost all bananas currently present originated from 2 wild species, Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. * Faculty of Letters, Chiba University, Japan.

  • 13. Eruptions at Rabaul: 1994–1999
    13. Eruptions at Rabaul: 1994–1999 Many of our old folk (our patuana) knew that an eruption was imminent. The strength of the earthquakes told them that an eruption was only a matter of days or hours away … . But the government authorities had not said anything about an eruption … . The Volcanological Observatory, as we have always been told, has some of the most modern and sophisticated monitoring equipment which can predict an eruption to the minute. How come these machines have not said anything about an imminent eruption? Derol Ereman, a Boisen High School student from Matupit Island (quoted by Neumann, 1995, pp. 2–3). First Three Weeks Independence Day celebrations for the 19th national birthday of Papua New Guinea were interrupted by earthquake activity over the weekend in Rabaul beginning at 2.50–2.51 am on Sunday 18 September 1994. Two earthquakes about 40 seconds apart — one near Tavurvur the other near Vulcan — were felt strongly throughout the harbour area. Aftershocks and ground shaking continued, particularly in the Vulcan area. Rabaul Volcanological Observatory (RVO) volcanologists suspected, for about 12 hours, that the earthquake activity represented another ‘seismic swarm’, similar to many of those experienced in Rabaul during the 1970s and 1980s. The ground shaking continued and, by Sunday afternoon, villagers near Tavurvur on Matupit Island had begun a spontaneous evacuation into Rabaul town, encouraged by older people who recalled the 1937 volcanic eruption. Hundreds of other Matupits, however, remained on their threatened island.1 The number of people moving along the road grew, fed by other nearby communities, and by evening thousands of evacuees had gathered at oodlit Queen Elizabeth Park, an evacuation assembly point prescribed in the Rabaul Disaster Plan.

  • Method of Flood Hazard Mapping in Ungauged Markham River Basin in Papua New Guinea
    METHOD OF FLOOD HAZARD MAPPING IN UNGAUGED MARKHAM RIVER BASIN IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA Dagwin Dagwin Mark Supervisors: Dr. Duminda PERERA MEE 16722 Prof. Shinji EGASHIRA ABSTRACT During last decade, flood disaster events were experienced throughout Papua New Guinea (PNG). Markham river basin in Morobe province is one of the areas that encountered considerable damages to properties and infrastructure during these flood events which have led to disruption of everyday activities and affected the economy of the country. Though it is an important river basin that supports extensive commercial and agricultural activity of PNG, there had been very little studies on flood and other water related disasters. This study attempts to provide a means of useful flood information such as hazard map to the residents of the basin. Rainfall runoff and associated inundations are computed by means of a rainfall runoff model (RRI model) for specific rainfall data such as 25, 50 and 100 years return periods. Based on the predicted inundation areas, a flood hazard map is proposed. However, the proposed hazard map is not tested for its validity because there are no observed data. Keywords: Markham River basin, flood disaster, RRI model, Flood Hazard Map INTRODUCTION Markham River basin (Figure 1) in Morobe Province is one of the five largest river basin in PNG that is located between longitudes: (145° 58’ 00’’ to 146° 58’ 30’’ ) and latitude: (-5° 51’ 30’’ to - 7° 31’ 00’’ ). Having an area of 12,750 km2, its large fertile flat lands have encouraged agricultural and economic activities to boom rapidly. Large plantation of agricultural products such as peanuts (groundnut) and vegetables are grown and sold to local markets.
