AUSTRALIA CALEDONIA 40° I 120° 140" 160' South West Pacific Ocean PREFAC E athered together here, as I wished it, are what Jean-Marie Tj ibaou has written and what he has said in interviews. This puGblication is the fruit of meticulous work by Alban Bensa and Eric Wittersheim. I thank them and with them all those who have helped and supported them in this undertaking. My desire was to make this testimony to the respect and constancy of Jean-Marie Tjibaou available to all of us who must pursue the struggle. May this book help the others, with whom we have decided to continue the journey we have begun, to understand why we are so resolved. Here then is the story of that man who, in his earliest childhood, left his tribal home Tiendanite to learn, to apprehend and compre­ hend the reality of injustice. After a short time in holy orders and studying in metropolitan France, his commitment became more urgent. He asked to be released from his vows, the better to serve his brothers. Kanak confidence had to be restored. In 1975, he succeeded in organising the Melanesia 2000 festival, a cultural manifestation which was to be the point of departure of a whole life devoted to the political futureof the country. The Kanak had to be able to live proudly in the land of his ances­ tors. The world had to know that Kanaky is the homeland of the Kanaks. So he travelled, he met the media, in France and throughout the world, and focussed media attention on this remaining scrap of French empire at the end of the earth. As President of the FLNKSl, Jean-Marie Tjibaou spoke with conviction xiii about what it was really like to be Kanak. He was facedwit h a wall of incomprehension. Then, since words were no longer enough, the Kanak people rose up in revolt, and it was the time of the 'events'2. The whole country was in flames. The army occupied our tribal homes and blood flowed. The man of peace had made a promise. He kept his word. In a Kanaky in flames and awash with tears there came the mission seeking dialogue. Jean-Marie Tj ibaou was throughout its main partner and he fought point by point to advance the demands of his people. The State came to acknowledge the incredible disequilibrium which existed between Noumea the European metropolis and the bush of the country folk and the Kanaks. The status of the country had to be reviewed. The year 1988 saw the crisis finally come to an end, with the signing of the Matignon Accords by Jean-Marie Tjibaou, Jacques Lafleur and the French State. A page was turned. A new era began. Tw o of the three Provinces are in the hands of the independentists. It is the step before independ­ ence. So this volume does not seek to revive the pain we have every one of us felt. It does include some very harsh words about certain people: made in a quite specific context, they reflect the bitterness of the struggle. It is my single hope that reading this life so entirely devoted to the Kanak people and the recognition of its rights will lead us to appreciate how farwe have all come and to make together the effortnecessa ry to achieve what we have set out to build: a new, more just and more open society.

EDITORS' INTRODUCTION ] ean--Marie Tjibaou, a mind open to the universal But politics have to do with the nature of human association, the contract of men with men. The politics of a country can only be an extension of its idea of human relationships. VS Naipaul1 ean-Marie Tjibaou (1936-1989) sped like a meteor through the close of the century. Still unknown to the French five years before Js death, he burst onto the international political scene and too quickly left it. His singular role in history has yet to be truly appreci­ ated, for lack of a proper understanding of the way the situation in New Caledonia developed; for lack also of being able to go directly to the words that this representative of a small Melanesian people chose to use in addressing his contemporaries. 'He is a man I respect, for whom words mean more than words,' wrote Frarn;ois Mitterrand2 about the man who, in the name of the Kanak people, went head to head with the French Government. The whole world remembers this always smiling and good-natured man as a fairand capable David who emerged fromhis little valley of Hienghene to take on, tenaciously but with great humility, the many different Goliaths the Kanaks foundblocking their path to emancipation. xv Tj ibaou's voice carried all the way to France because the Kanaks took the risk of physically opposing French colonial power. Rising above the noise and turmoil of the 'events' that swept through New Caledonia from 1984 to 1988, his message went beyond the immediate circumstances. Among the figures of anti-colonialism, Jean-Marie Tj ibaou occupies a special place, no doubt because New Caledonia came so late to the list of countries to be decolonised. Kanak indepen­ dentism found in him an entirely new kind of spokesman, one who sought to show the quality and wealth of Melanesian civilisation at the same time as deploring the lot of his people.

IV 1965 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SEPIK DISTRICT ART ANNOTATED FOR ILLUSTRATIONS, PART 1 by DOUGLAS NEWTON BIBLIOGRAPHY OF SEPIK DISTRICT ART ANNOTATED FOR ILLUSTRATIONS, PART 1 by Douglas Newton The Museum of Primitive Art This is a working list of material on the visual arts in the Sepik District of New Guinea published up to 31 December 1964, its purpose being the provision of a guide to the very considerable amount of documentation already in print. It does not ad­ here strictly to the administrative boundaries of the District: some items on the coastal area to the east of the Ramu have been included, since these are obviously stylistically related to work from the District itself. The first part, printed here, is a listing of individual documents, each followed by notes on the illustra­ tions it includes. The second part, to appear in the near future, will be an index, by provenience and class of object, to these notes. The entries are of two main kinds. The first consists of books and articles, whether illustrated or not, specifically devoted to the area. Here I have gone beyond the limitations implied by "the arts", and have included some works primarily dealing with general ethnology. To some extent this is unavoidable, owing to the authors' methods of presenting their material; but I have added rather generously to this cate­ gory in the hope that some items may provide background, or side-lights, for the sub­ ject.

  • The Thirteenth Dalai Lama on Warfare, Weapons, and the Right to Self-Defense
    THE THIRTEENTH DALAI LAMA ON WARFARE, WEAPONS, AND THE RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE Federica Venturi I would like to express sincere gratitude to the colleagues and friends who have contributed in various ways to bring this article to completion. The topic of the subject was inspired by a talk given by Dr. Shun Hidaka of Otani University at the XIII Seminar of the IATS in Ulaan Baatar. Gedun Rabsal helped with the translation of the passages that were most cryptic. Frank Drauschke of the historical research institute Facts & Files, in Berlin, provided an advance copy of documents he has collected for his forthcoming publication Who was Who in Tibet. Dr. Alice Travers of the French National Center for Scientific Research helped with the translation of several Tibetan terms identifying weapons. Last but not least, I would like to thank the editor of this volume, Roberto Vitali, assisted by Gedun Rabsal and Nicole Willock, for much patience and collaboration. One of the recurrent themes of Professor Sperling’s lectures on the different aspects of Tibetan history highlighted the existence of mechanisms for sanctioning violence in every religion, including Buddhism. Today this religion is considered the paradigm of a nonviolent and pacifist mindset, particularly in its Tibetan manifestation. Similarly, Tibet’s spiritual leader, the XIV Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, symbolizes the commitment of Tibetan Buddhism to nonviolence, both on account of his Nobel Peace Prize and as a constant champion of the Tibetan cause of “true autonomy” within the People’s Republic of China through ahiṃsā. However, throughout its history, even Tibetan Buddhism has not been immune from the use of violence or warfare, activities that are in conflict with the fundamental Buddhist precept of abstaining from killing any living being.1 Moreover, these activities were both perpetrated and endorsed in various ways by the higher echelons of the Tibetan Buddhist hierarchy.
