    th PRESENTS HAWAIKI NUI VA’A 25 V6 OUTRIGGER CANOE RACE edition Organized by the Tahitian Federation of Va’a TYPE OF EVENT NOVEMBER 2, 3, 4, 2016 V6 CANOE RACE MARATHON For the main Hawaiki Nui Va’a race (3 stages) (without crew change) NOVEMBER 4, for Taure’a and Va’ahine (Raiatea) BRIEF DESCRIPTION The HAWAIKI NUI VA’A canoe marathon has been created in 1992. With a distance of 129 km/80 mi, the race links Huahine, Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora in the Leeward Islands. The objective of the race from the very fi rst edition was to promote open ocean outrigger canoeing on a regional and international scope. Photo : Air Tahiti Nui HAWAIKI NUI VA’A / V6 OUTRIGGER CANOE RACE / NOVEMBER 2, 3, 4, 2016 / 25th edition VA’A IN FRENCH POLYNESIA Va’a is the Tahitian word for outrigger canoe, a type of craft visible throughout all the islands in French Polynesia. In Pre-European traditional civilization, the va’a was at the heart of daily life of the island communities as a mean of transport, communication and different types of fi shing. With globalization, these functions have gradually disappeared and have been replaced by the “era of canoe races”, TE HOERA’A VA’A. Va’a racing is divided into two types. The va’a hoe concerns a single paddler whereas,the most popular one, involves six paddlers. Due to the degree of diffi culty, the technics and tactical skills required, va’a races are much more than just a simple athletic event.

  • Temporal and Geographical Emergence of the Classic East Polynesian Marae Complex Paul Wallin and Reidar Solsvik
    78 The place of the land and the seat of the ancestors: Temporal and geographical emergence of the classic East Polynesian marae complex Paul Wallin and Reidar Solsvik Introduction ‘Marae’ is a word that has many cognates in Polynesian languages and in almost all cases it designate some type of religious site or assembly place. The morpheme can be reconstructed back to Proto Polynesia PPn* malaqe with a possible meaning as “meeting place” (POLLEX). On the Polynesian Outliers and in the island groups of Samoa and Tonga, malae is used to designate an open cleared space within or at the side of the settlement where people gather to held meetings or certain social and religious ceremonies. On some islands like Alofi, the malae has a row of upright stones or backrests at one end. On other islands, like Tokelau and Kapingamarangi, the meetings and ceremonies take place inside a house, while the general area around the house is known as malae . In most East Polynesian island groups, the main exceptions being Hawai’i and New Zealand, the word ‘marae’ refers to a particular group of ritual structures with many common architectural characteristics. It is a rectangular space with a low stone platform or enclosure at one side. On Hawai’i it is the word ‘ heiau ’ that designate religious architecture, of various design rather dissimilar to the other island groups although ceremonies taking place on these sites strongly resembles ceremonies conducted on marae sites. The Maori language use the word ‘marae’ to characterise the courtyard in front of the meeting house, or it designates, in a modern usage the whole complex of buildings and activity ground which also include the meeting house.

    WELCOME TO CONRAD BORA BORA NUI NEVER JUST STAY. STAY INSPIRED MAEVA French Polynesia is a country splintered into 118 islands, scattered in the middle of the world’s largest ocean. Each of these islands is attached to its identity, and each has its own tales and its own legends. This diversity gives French Polynesia its unique character, and a particular strength as all these stories and legends meet to form the ma’ohi culture. A majestic volcanic island, just like a queen surrounded, Bora Bora has the most extraordinary lagoon in the world. Bora Bora used to be called Vavau. The first European to sight the island was Dutchman Jakob Roggeveen in 1722. Captain Cook landed there in 1769 and named it Bora Bora on nautical charts. In 1847, French king Louis-Philippe recognized the Leewards Islands as independent, including Bora Bora ruled by king Tapoa II, former husband of Pomare IV, queen of Tahiti. Bora Bora only became a French territory in 1898. The island belongs to a group of volcanic islands that arose from a hot spot. The volcano, which was active a little over three million years ago, collapsed and was subjected to strong erosion. Motu To’opua, which peaks at 148 meters (485 ft.), is the only remaining fragment of the southeast rim of the crater. The pearl of the pacific is world-famous for its glinting turquoise lagoon, dazzlingly white sandy stretches of beach and luxurious resorts. With such a dreamlike setting, this magical island is, unsurprisingly, a great spot to discover. Bora Bora is one of the world’s top resort destinations.
