Haddon. n_ In the Gulf of Papua there may be distinguished foiir cultures, UU which, from east to west, may be termed the Elema, the Namau, the Urama, and the Kerewa; of these the three first are distinctly inter-related, but the last is more distinct. Without doubt these cultures have reached the coast from the interior of the island, though we are as yet ignorant of the routes they have traversed. -

During fieldwork in 1985 in the Western Province of Papua New Guinea, as part of research on the material culture of the Torres Strait and Fly River estuary canoe trade, the author collected a number of oral accounts which specifically document this history of contacts in the daily life of the people of the southwestern coast of Papua New Guinea. The aim of this article is to present, with annotations, a number of these recently collected oral accounts from the Papua New Guinea side of Torres Strait. -

BRAZENOR, Acting Director No. 22 4th SEPTEMBER, 1957 Part 7 DRUM TYPES OF EASTERN NEW GUINEA by ALDO MASSOLA PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES Drum Types of Eastern New Guinea by ALDO MASSOLA, Curator of Anthropology, National Museum of Victoria. In this paper an attempt is made to bring under one heading all the drum types reported in the relevant literature and those existing in the Collections of the National Museum of Victoria. A classification by means of a key is offered. It is hoped it will be suitable for use by Museum curators and private collectors, who are often faced with the problems of identification of pieces which are not localized. While no attempt has been made to discuss the magic and ceremonial connected with drum making and using, a few broad facts are given and a list of references is appended for further reading. It should be pointed out however, that this is but a preliminary survey forming the basis for further study. The several drum types of Eastern New Guinea are recognizable by characteristics which appear to be fairly constant. Amongst the different groups of Tribes who use them the origin of these is accounted for by myths, and therefore the characteristics have become traditional, so that a certain fixity is given to any particular type. Eastern New Guinea drums are invariably made from a suitable tree trunk or branch, which is hollowed partly by burning and partly by scraping. -

First published 1976 by The Australian National University Reprinted © 2016 ANU Press Preface Papua New Guinean communities living on islands in the Coral Sea, near creeks feeding the major rivers of the mainland, and in villages crowded along ridge-tops in the interior, gardened and hunted over land containing gold. Most of the men who came hungry for the gold were from Australia. They carried with them the skills to obtain it and the beliefs then common among Australian working men about foreigners and blacks. Most of the diggers believed that their guns and their brains made them superior to any ‘coloured’ men. Some also thought that they were physically superior, although that was harder to believe after 1902 when the first black American won a world boxing title. -

Preamble [Slim said] “I do admire you and I do admire what you have done in New Guinea. I know something about this. It is the sort of thing that I was trying to do during most of my life. Your young chaps in New Guinea have gone out where I would never have gone without a battalion and they have done on their own by sheer force of character what I could only do with troops. I don’t think there’s been anything like it in the modern world...” What moved me was his particular reference to our patrol officers. When every other word of criticism has been spoken and other defects in our administration have been discussed, I stand in amazement close to reverence at what was done, to my personal knowledge, in the ten years between approximately 1952 and 1962 by young Australian patrol officers and district officers in areas of first contact. -

Brisbane. ISSN 0079-8835. Customary exchange across Torres Strait is examined through a study of documentary sources, oral history and museum collections. The study includes an analysis of the material culture of exchange illustrating (he variety of artefacts of subsistence, ornamentation and dress, recreation, ceremony and dance, and warfare The idea that customary exchange across Torres Strait was a system of fixed, formalised, point-to-point trade routes is contested. This misconception, based on Haddon (1890, 1901-1935), McCarthy (1939) and Moore (1979), has arisen from reliance on historical documentary sources. By contrast, oral history from Torres Strait Islanders and coastal Papuans suggests that customary exchange was flexible and open, tied to changing social, political and cultural factors and operated within the framework of a dynamic Melancsian economic system. Customary exchange is re-evaluated and the paths and patterns of exchange are restructured. Panems of customary exchange formed as a result of separate linkages between individuals and groups and served to distribute scarce resources between the Islander, Papuan and Aboriginal peoples across <i region <>f considerable geographical, ecological and cultural diversity. Exchange is therefore interpreted in the context of the cultural and ecological discreteness of human groups within the Torres Strait region. This study also investigates the extent to which customary exchange exists in the contem- porary period and the implications of recent legal and administrative decisions such as the Torres Strait Treaty. -

Gunnar Landtman in Papua: 1910 to 1912
Chapter 3 Imaging the Kiwai Gunnar Landtman was an avid photographer as well as artefact collector and folklorist. By 1911 he had made a sufficient collection of glass-plate negatives to send back to his father in Helsinki. These plates were sent through his missionary friends at Badu from where Rosalie Walker, the wife of Rev. F. W. Walker, wrote thanking him for allowing them the opportunity of seeing the negatives and for giving the missionaries the chance to make prints if they wished (Landtman 1910–21: R. Walker 19 October 1911). In all, Landtman took over 500 photographs while in the field. During his expeditions not only did he travel with his personal effects, his own food, a growing artefact collection and phonograph recording equipment but he also took along his photographic equipment and special photographic papers brought from Finland. When this ran out he was forced to use lesser quality material from Australia. He regularly complained of this to his family. Ethnographic photography at the turn of the 20th Century Ethnographic photography was a developing field technique. It had a long tradition in colonial India where Lord Canning, the first Viceroy after 1858 and a keen photographer, requested civil and military field officers to make collections of the different tribal groups for his personal interest. Much of this material was subsequently published in the eight volume work, The People of India (Watson and Kaye 1868–75) which contained 480 photographic portraits of various races, castes and tribes in India together with descriptive and historical information (Falconer 2002: 52). -
