These Polynesian kingdoms are now incorporated into the French Republic. Queen Amelia Tokagahahau Aliki Lavelua, acting in the name of the three kingdoms, signed a protectorate treaty with France, which was ratified in 1887. `Uvea mo Futuna was used by the United States as a military base during the Second World War. Under the leadership of Tomasi Kulimoetoke, who was elected king in 1959, `Uvea mo Futuna chose by referendum to become a French overseas territory, effective 1967. Because these kingdoms are small, with few natural resources, economic development is a challenge. Consequently, only about 10 percent of the population have regular jobs, and most people work for the government, the local television station, public offices, and schools. Many live in a traditional fashion, planting yams and taro, fishing, and working in the local arts. This tattoo design is dedicated to our aga`i fenua, the traditional `Uvea mo Futuna political system, without which our identity as Uveans and Futunans would have disappeared a long time ago. Similarly, Uvean and Futunan people living on the islands who don’t have regular paid work would not have survived in this “modern” world without their cultural foundation. -

Commercial Enterprise and the Trader's Dilemma on Wallis
Between Gifts and Commodities: Commercial Enterprise and the Trader’s Dilemma on Wallis (‘Uvea) Paul van der Grijp Toa abandoned all forms of gardening, obtained a loan, and built a big shed to house six thousand infant chickens flown in from New Zealand. The chickens grew large and lovely, and Toa’s fame spread. Everyone knew he had six thousand chickens and everyone wanted to taste them. A well-bred tikong gives generously to his relatives and neighbours, especially one with thousands of earthly goods. But . Toa aimed to become a Modern Busi- nessman, forgetting that in Tiko if you give less you will lose more and if you give nothing you will lose all. epeli hau‘ofa, the tower of babel Recently, the model of the trader’s dilemma was developed as an ana- lytical perspective and applied to Southeast Asia. The present paper seeks to apply this model in Western Polynesia, where many Islanders, after earning wages in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, or New Cale- donia, return to open a small shop in their home village. Usually, after one or two years of generous sharing, such enterprises have to close down. I analyze this phenomenon through case studies of successful indigenous entrepreneurs on Wallis (‘Uvea), with special attention to strategies they have used to cope with this dilemma. The Paradigm of the Trader’s Dilemma The trader’s dilemma is the quandary between the moral obligation to share wealth with kinfolk and neighbors and the necessity to make a profit and accumulate capital.

THE PACIFIC ISLANDS POLITICS, ECONOMICS, AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TE'O I.J. FAIRBAIRN CHARLES E. MORRISON RICHARD W. BAKER SHEREE A. GROVES THE PACIFIC ISLANDS THE EAST-WEST CENTER was established in Hawaii in 1960 by the United States Congress "to promote better relations and understand ing between the United States and the nations of Asia and the Pacific through cooperative study, training, and research:' Some 2,000 research fellows, graduate students, and professionals in business and government each year work with the Center's interna tional staff on major Asia-Pacific issues relating to population, economic and trade policies, resources and the environment, culture and com munication, and international relations. Since 1960, more than 27,000 men and women from the region have participated in the Center's cooperative programs. Officially known as the Center for Cultural and Technical Inter change Between East and West, Inc., the Center is a public, non-profit institution with an international board of governors. Principal funding comes from the United States Congress. Support also comes from more than twenty Asian and Pacific governments, as well as private agen cies and corporations. THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS PROGRAM (JRP) became an autonomous program within the East-West Center in 1989. The Program advances the Center's overall objectives through work on foreign poli cy and related political, economic, and security issues. Program pri orities are to 1) promote research and dialogue directed toward creating a stable, peaceful Asia/Pacific community; 2) identify issues in U.S. re lations with the Asia/Pacific region and recommend means of strength ening these relations; 3) improve understanding of individual societies of the region through cooperative research; and 4) promote contact and dialogue among the region's future leaders. -
Australia-Oceania :: Wallis and Futuna (Overseas Collectivity of France) Introduction :: Wallis and Futuna
The World Factbook Australia-Oceania :: Wallis and Futuna (overseas collectivity of France) Introduction :: Wallis and Futuna Background: The Futuna island group was discovered by the Dutch in 1616 and Wallis by the British in 1767, but it was the French who declared a protectorate over the islands in 1842, and took official control of them between 1886 and 1888. Notably, Wallis and Futuna was the only French colony to side with the Vichy regime during World War II, a phase that ended in May of 1942 with the arrival of 2,000 American troops. In 1959, the inhabitants of the islands voted to become a French overseas territory and officially assumed this status in July 1961.

De nos jours, deux unités politiques existent: Alo et Sigave. C'est une société à titres. Le :3au t"Hiki ou "roi" d'Alo porte le titre de "Tui Agaifo". Jadis, il portait le titre de Fakavelikele. Le SaLi Aliki ou "roi" de Sigave porte le titre de Keletaona ou de Tamole Vai. Les généalogies que nous avons relev~es remontent au 12 ème niveau généalogique c'est à dire à l'an 1644, si nous décidons de compter 28 ans pour une génération, à partir de l:année 1980. A ,la 10 ème génération, les Samoans Mago, Salo et Tafaleata débarquèrent à Anakele "dans une noix de coco": ils sont à l'origine de l'actuelle royauté d"Alo. Mago et sa~i~mme Tafaleata auront une descendance. Petelo Lemo, l'actuel Tui Agaifo du royaume d'Alo possède ce Mago comme lointain ancètre. A cette époque, il y avait à Futuna et à Alofi des territoires de chefferies biens distincts et autonomes,dirigés par un chef. Les titres de chefferies actuels se réfèrent à ces chefs, ancètres prestigieux. L'enquète sur Futuna et Alofi nous a permis de définir les territoires de chefferies qui existaient au cours des ces trois derniers siècles. -

(Wallis), Futuna and Alofi Islands (South-West Pacific): an Update
30 Notornis, 2015, Vol. 62: 30-37 0029-4470 © The Ornithological Society of New Zealand Inc. Birds of Uvea (Wallis), Futuna and Alofi islands (South-West Pacific): an update Jean-Claude ThIbaulT* Muséum National d’histoire Naturelle, département Systématique et evolution, 55 rue buffon, 75005 Paris, France Alice CIbois department of Mammalogy and Ornithology, Natural history Museum of Geneva, CP 6434, 1211 Geneva 6, Switzerland Jean-YveS MeYer délégation à la recherche, Gouvernement de la Polynésie française, b.P. 20981 Tahiti, Polynésie Française Abstract Alofi, Futuna and Uvea (also called Wallis), 3 islands situated north of Fiji and Tonga archipelagos, are rarely visited by ornithologists. We present new data on the avifauna obtained during surveys in 2014 and we compare them with previous surveys made in the 1920s, 1980s and 1990s. We recorded the extirpation of 1 species (friendly ground- dove, Alopecoenas stairi) probably related to predation, and the decline of another (lesser shrikebill, Clytorhynchus vitiensis) linked to deforestation. Although the recent arrival of the black rat (Rattus rattus) in Futuna is a potential threat for the blue-crowned lorikeet (Vini australis), no decline is apparent at the present time. In general, most landbirds seemed common despite loss of native habitats and hunting pressure; similarly, the seabird populations and number of species appeared stable, a situation probably linked with the general decrease of harvesting. Finally, 2 breeding species (spotless crake, Zapornia tabuensis, and tropical shearwater, Puffinus bailloni) and 3 vagrants (white-faced heron, Egretta novaehollandiae, masked lapwing, Vanellus miles, and pectoral sandpiper, Calidris melanotos) are added to the list.
