  • Waning Stars—Changes to Takü's Star Knowledge
    7 WANING STARS—CHANGES TO TAKÜ’S STAR KNOWLEDGE RICHARD MOYLE University of Auckland Local oral tradition suggests that star lore for navigation purposes on the Polynesian Outlier of Takü was vested principally if not exclusively in the captains of the ocean-going canoes which voyaged in pairs to several other Outliers to the east and southeast until the mid-19th century. Such knowledge was both privileged and sacred. However, the introduced disease that caused the drastic reduction in population in the late-19th century not only brought about the demise of these canoes through the dearth of able-bodied men to crew them, but also killed the captains who had not earlier passed on their knowledge to the next generation. The uneven spread of star knowledge evidently existing within the able-bodied community at that time has been maintained for at least three generations in the persons of the elderly handful of great-grandchildren of the survivors of the epidemic. Although descendants of those survivors routinely defer to them in all discussions of star lore, making an intergenerational assessment difficult, it appears that members of present younger generations on Takü are unaware not only of the relationships between specific stars and certain natural phenomena, but also in many cases of the names of the stars themselves and, indeed, cannot identify them in the night sky. This article examines indigenous knowledge of stars in both the historical past and the present, and the contexts in which such knowledge was and is used.1 Takü (also known as Mortlock Island or “the Mortlock Islands”) is an atoll lying some 200 km off the east coast of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea.

Esta desaparición o transformación paulatina que ha ido su- friendo el idioma -Rapa Nui, se debe, a no dudarlo, a las si- guientes causas, que dada la inteligencia de los isleños y su asom- brosa facilidad para asimilarse palabras extranjeras, no han podido menos que bastardear por completo su propia lengua: a) Las innumerables visitas hechas a la isla, desde hace siglos, por naves extranjeras, entre las cuales son las mas importantes por su frecuencia y tiempo de estadías las verificadas por bu- ques franceses e ingleses; b) El rapto llevado a cabo por piratas peruanos de miles de indígenas, cuya mayor parte fué llevada a las huaneras de las islas Chinchas, pero otra fué abandonada en Tahití y Gambier, estando completamente comprobado que muchos de aquellos infelices pudieron volver

  • Map 65 Lycia-Pisidia Compiled by C. Foss (West) and S
    Map 65 Lycia-Pisidia Compiled by C. Foss (west) and S. Mitchell, 1994 Introduction The map covers a large segment of south-west Asia Minor, extending from the southern edge of Phrygia in the north to the Mediterranean coastline. The most striking feature is the western extremity of the Taurus mountain range, which dominates the entire landscape of Pisidia and Lycia. In the north-east are the internally drained lake basins of Trogitis (Lake Suğla), Karalis (Lake Beyşehir), Lake Eğridir (E1-2, ancient name unknown), and Ascanius (Burdur Lake). The mountains to the south of these contain the sources of three major rivers, which flow down through Pisidia to the Pamphylian plain–the Melas, Eurymedon and Kestros. Both Pamphylia and Pisidia contained large populations in antiquity, occupying a dense network of city-states, up to ten in Pamphylia and over fifty in Pisidia. Pisidia was accessible by some of the most important routes of southern Asia Minor, in particular the road built by the first Roman proconsul of Asia, M’. Aquillius, between 129 and 126 B.C. from Pergamum (Map 56 E3) to Side (French 1991), and the Augustan Via Sebaste, which ran from Perge to Pisidian Antioch (Map 62 F5). The historical geography of this region has been much advanced in many recent studies–by Bean, Mitchell and Nollé especially (note the overview in Mitchell 1998b)–and the pace of discovery shows no signs of slowing. Current research by Turkish scholars is beginning to throw important new light on the border zone between southern Pisidia and eastern Lycia to the west of Attalea.

WILL MCCLATCHEY,2 RANDY THAMAN,3 AND SAULA VODONAIVALU3 ABSTRACT: The terrestrial flora of the Rotuma island group consists of over 500 species of indigenous and introduced plants. Although the environment of these islands has been higWy modified by the Rotuman people, areas of ancient forest have survived. We provide here a list of the taxa identified by ourselves and others from Rotuma in the Bryophyta, Microphyllophyta, Pteridophyta, Coniferophyta, and Anthophyta. ROTUMA IS A GROUP of 10 volcanic islands Rotuma Island is composed of at least 21 that was administered as part of the British small volcanic peaks (or hills) and craters Crown Colony of Fiji from 1881 until Fijian that provide many gentle slopes and some independence in 1970.
