III Foreword Dear readers, the joint history of Germany and the South Pacific dates far back. Romanti- cized pictures of the “South Sea” played an important role early on, and they still continue to effect us in notions of holiday dreams underneath palm trees. The pictures of white beaches and blue ocean are not false – however, tangi- ble economic interests attracted the first Germans to come to the Pacific at the end of the 19th century, especially the trade with coco products. The next steps then were territorial claims to protect the trade. New Guinea and Samoa were the largest German protectorates and colonial regions in the Pacific. This is long a thing of the past, but the few decades of colonial presence of the German Empire had manifold impacts on the social history of the is- lands‘ populations, which are still visible in the 21st century – in toponyms, in words with German origins, in the basic principles of education or in the continuing social commitment of the churches. Also in the realms of econo- my and trade there are still significant relations, albeit the emerging Asian states are nowadays unquestionably of more significance for the Pacific Is- land Countries than the former European colonial powers. New links between Germany and the Pacific nations arise from a similar range of interests in global issues, particularly with regard to the challenges of climate change. Germany welcomes that the intensive endeavors of Pacific Island Countries to pool their interests and voices in regional organizations, e.g. in the “Pacific Islands Forum“ (PIF), the “Secretariat of the Pacific Community“ (SPC) and the “Melanesian Spearhead Group“ (MSG). During our inaugural visits to the Pacific islands world we were able to experience the economic and political potentials of the young islands coun- tries ourselves. However, the Pacific Islands continues to need strong partners IV and external assistance to reach the international standards in the fields of good governance, health, education and sustainable resource exploitation and to overcome the still widespread poverty. The Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations will probably be not attainable without deduc- tions in the South Pacific. Thus it is a matter of course that Germany – also as an important actor within the European Union – remains visible and present in the Pacific in order to contribute to the positive development of the region. In 2012 the Federal Foreign Office sponsored a touring exhibition on the colonial history of Germany in Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Palau. Fur- thermore Germany supports development projects in the entire Pacific Islands region as the largest donor under the framework of the European Develop- ment Fund. The Embassies in Canberra and Wellington finance so-called micro-projects in several islands, which serve as models of sustainable pro- gress on the local level. This anthology explores the situation in the Pacific Island Countries in a comprehensive way and thereby creates a reference work of special value for everyone who is connected to this fascinating region.

Like so many well-entrenched, traditional as- sumptions, this one is unwarranted. J. Evetts Haley, in editing one of the extremely rare accounts of the cattle drives to Califor- nia which preceded the Texas-to-Kansas experiment by a decade and a half, slapped the blame for this misunderstanding squarely on the writings of Emerson Hough.

  • Calls for Special Australian of the Year Award for Our Nation's Health Workers
    Media Release Public Health Association of Australia 29 July 2020 Calls for special Australian of the Year Award for our nation’s health workers As Australia continues to battle our biggest-ever health crisis, The Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) is calling for the Prime Minister to consider a special one-off award to recognise the life-saving work of our nation’s front-line health care workers and public health workers. Nominations for the 2021 Australian of the Year Awards close this week (Friday 31 July), and each year thousands of worthy individuals are nominated for going above and beyond in their chosen field or pursuits. PHAA CEO, Terry Slevin, says the events of the past six months have demonstrated the incredibly selfless work of the many thousands of people who have turned up for work every day – putting their own lives on the line in many cases – to help save the lives of so many fellow Australians. ‘It is in times like these that we see the best of people. People who dedicate their lives to the wellbeing of others in these times of terrible distress and tragic loss,’ Mr Slevin said. ‘The majority of our health workforce are not highly-paid. Few seek recognition or reward. They make so many personal sacrifices to keep us safe and well. And in the process, many hundreds have themselves succumbed to COVID-19,’ Mr Slevin said. ‘Our public health workers deserve a significant acknowledgement – the tireless work this year by contact tracers, researchers, epidemiologists, outbreak investigators and policy experts has been invaluable.

  • Central Oregon Range Wars
    Central Oregon Range Wars By Unknown Following the forced re-settlement of the region’s Indian groups onto reservations after the Civil War, the grasslands of Eastern and Central Oregon became available for agriculture and livestock. As “open ranges,” these lands were traditionally available for all locals to share. The 1880s and 1890s proved particularly suited to the development of large cattle herds and sheep flocks as new rail lines allowed producers to ship both wool and cattle to the expanding markets across the United States. As a result, the number of sheep and cattle east of the Cascades increased dramatically. Since no legal statutes existed at the time to restrict usage, the rapid, unregulated exploitation of the grasslands resulted in overgrazing. Between 1885 and 1910 the number of sheep in Wasco County was approximately 130,000. Given such numbers, the range was unable to regenerate itself, and became increasingly degraded. By the late 1890s, growing tensions between cattle ranchers and sheepmen over control of the open ranges led to a series of disputes known as the “range wars.” Cattlemen themselves held sheepmen in contempt for two specific reasons. Unlike cattle, sheep will eat weeds, also known as forbs, in addition to native grasses. As a result, the sheep stripped a landscape of its plant life, leaving nothing edible behind. Additionally, the equestrian culture of the cattlemen viewed sheepherders with disdain because the herdsmen tended animals on foot rather than on horseback. The expansion of wheat farming in Central and Eastern Oregon during this same period exacerbated competition for the range lands.
