Interviews with these students and with less-educated fellow islanders were taped to: 1) ascertain which aspects of the aboriginal belief structure, as preserved in oral tradition, have been most resistant to change; and, 2) an attempt to establish if the students are fairly representative of their traditional belief and value system despite their American-sponsored educations. Some of the findings were: that student belief in, and knowledge of the old mythological and cosmological constructs was generally low; that belief was high in magic, native medicine, and spirits; and that young and old alike were receptive to attempts at cultural preservations. The report contains a summary of the study, a discussion of study background, a description of methods used in collection of the folktales, analyses of the oral traditions, 16 references, and a bibliography containing over 100 entries.

  • The Marine Benthic Algae of the Caroline Islands, I. Introduction, Chlorophyta, and Cyanophyta1
    The Marine Benthic Algae of the Caroline Islands, I. Introduction, Chlorophyta, and Cyanophyta1 Gavino C. TRONO, JR. Department of Botany, College of Arts and Sciences University of the Philippines, Quezon City, Philippines Introduction T he Caroline Islands are largely a group of atolls located between 131 ° and 164° East Longitude and 2° to 10° North Latitude. Most of the islands are low islands or coral atolls, but the islands of Kusaie, Ponape, Truk, and Palau are high islands of volcanic origin while Yap is of uplifted sedimentary origin. Those lying east of 148° East Longitude comprise the Eastern Caroline Islands, while those west of this meridian comprise the Western Caroline Islands. Together they constitute much of Micronesia. The Caroline Islands (Pl. 1) form a chain roughly parallel to and just above the equator. The chain is flanked at its eastern end by the Marshall and Gilbert Islands, southward by several island groups comprising Melanesia, and westward by the Philippine Islands. The earliest known records of the marine benthic algae from the Caroline Islands are those of Reinbold (1901) based on the materials collected by Dr. Volkens from the island of Yap. Except for those published by Schmidt in 1928, most ,of the records from 1904 to 1944 were contributed by Japanese phycologists. The first Japanese phycologist to contribute to the knowledge of the algae ,of Micronesia was Okamura (1904), who enumerated 82 species from the Caroline lslands and Australia of which 26 species were from Palau and Yap Islands. The materials were collected and sent to him by S. Abe.

  • An Update on the Yap Outer Islands Trochus Reseeding Project by Steven Retalmawai & Mike Hasurmai
    26 SPC Trochus Information Bulletin #5 – October 1997 ews from nthe Federated States of Micronesia An update on the Yap Outer Islands Trochus Reseeding Project by Steven Retalmawai & Mike Hasurmai Lamotrek and Elato Trochus Reseeding Project report At the end of November 1996, a team of four Marine Resources Management Division (MRMD) technicians travelled on the MS Micro Spirit to transplant trochus on two outer islands. The assignment was to harvest 500 Trochus niloticus from Woleai Atoll, as previ- ously arranged by Mike Hasurmai, for the Elato and Lamotrek Trochus Re- seeding Project. Five unemployed members from the Woleai Community had already been appointed to help preparing the 500 pieces of trochus to be transported by the MS Micro Spirit to Lamotrek and Elato Atolls. This was the third time trochus was to be transplanted to Elato and Lamotrek, after one transplant in the early 1980s and one in 1991. Upon reaching Woleai, we were advised by the Field Trip Officer that the harvest of the 500 trochus could start immediately. We used the MRMD boat that we had brought with us and went to Falalus Island. There we discussed with the Chief and several community mem- bers where we could harvest 500 pieces in a short time. We were instructed to proceed to Wotegai, where trochus were known to be abundant. When we arrived there, the Chief of Wotegai suggested Figure 1 that we proceed to Falalop Woleai (our Map of Elato Atoll showing the 4 transplantation sites next planned harvest ground), while 1 Yap Department of Resources and Development, P.O.

We departed theAirways Hotel— where the Vue Restaurant’s delightful breakfast was only surpassed by the panoramic vista of the Owen Stanley Ranges—for Jacksons International Airport and our charter flight to Rabaul. Taking off just after 10:00 AM, we turned northeast, rose over the Owen Stanley Ranges (catching glimpses of Mount Victoria and the Kokoda Track out the aircraft’s port side windows), crossed the Bismarck Archipelago, and traced the south and east coast of New Britain before landing in Rabaul at 11:30. Landing in Rabaul made us feel the expedition had really begun. Our flight was one of only two flights landing in Rabaul that day—the main terminal is one room with one luggage carousel and little else. We gathered our luggage and deposited it on the lorries headed for the ship before joining our buses and guides for an afternoon exploring Rabaul and its environs. Food is always an excellent point of entry for understanding new environments and new cultures, and lunch at the Ralum Country Club offered us a taste of traditional Papua New Guinean foods and local beverages such as PNG’s SP Lager and GoGo Cola.

  • Violence and Warfare in the Pre-Contact Caroline Islands
    VIOLENCE AND WARFARE IN THE PRE-CONTACT CAROLINE ISLANDS STEPHEN M. YOUNGER University of Hawai‘i The Caroline Islands represent a particularly interesting case for the study of social phenomena in indigenous cultures. Spread out over 2700km, they range from tiny Eauripik, whose area of 0.2km2 is thought by its inhabitants to support a maximum population of 150 persons (Levin and Gorenflo 1994: 117), to Pohnpei, with an area of 334km2 and an estimated pre-contact population of 10,000 (Hanlon 1988: 204). Ecologies range from the isolated volcanic island of Kosrae to many atolls that are within easy sailing reach of their neighbours. The exceptional ability of Carolinean navigators made this one of the most interconnected parts of Oceania. Lessa (1962) argued that frequent canoe voyages led to a homogenisation of culture, but detailed studies of linguistics across the region by Marck (1986) indicate some divergence in dialect (and, one might presume, other cultural elements) when voyaging distances exceeded about 100 miles (161km), i.e., for a canoe journey of more than one day. In this article I examine the relative levels of violence on and between the Caroline Islands. Lessa (1962: 354) noted that “warfare was part of the way of life throughout all of the Carolines, even though the atolls waged it less intensely.” Yet the differences were more than between high islands and atolls. Chuuk (95km2) was perhaps the most violent island in the region (Gladwin and Sarason 1953), but Kosrae (110km2) experienced prolonged periods of relative peace (Peoples 1993). Violence on and between atolls varied between Puluwat, described as the “scourge of this area of the Pacific” (Steager 1971: 61), feared even by the Chuukese, and Namonuito, whose inhabitants vacated their home island when threatened by invasion (Thomas 1978: 32).
