  • The Sons of Palulap: Navigating Without Instruments in Oceania
    RESOURCE FILE 1 of 2 Unit 1 - The Oceans: Historical Perspectives The Sons of Palulap: Navigating Without Instruments in Oceania Darkness fell as the rain of another line squall hissed across the tropical Pacific. The stars were smudged out. Our navigator, Piailug, ordered us to drop the sail of our 30-foot outrigger canoe, Suntory. White Horse, our partner canoe, followed suit, and we settled down to endure the chilly, wet night. Piailug estimated that we were just inside the etak of birds, the fishing grounds for seabirds from the island of Pikelot, our destination. There we drifted, waiting for morning, when the birds would fly out from their nesting sites and thus indicate the way to the island. Two days before, our little fishing expedition had left Satawal, one of the most remote of Micronesia's Caroline Islands. Our purpose was to catch sea turtles, fish, and octopus for the 600 hungry Satawalese. We were led by Mau Piailug, one of the last of the palu. These Micronesian navigators pilot hand-hewn canoes without charts or instruments, guided only by the sea's signs of land: stars, birds, and patterns of waves. Thousands of years ago Piailug's distant cousins, the Polynesians, probably used similar navigational techniques on their epic voyages of discovery to the Marquesas, Tahiti, Hawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealand. The Polynesians spread throughout the Pacific from the west in small sailing canoes like that shown opposite. (Map courtesy of Bernice P. Bishop Museum. Photo by author/The Navigators).

  • Childrearing Through Social Interaction on Rossel Island, PNG Penelope Brown and Marisa Casillas Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen DRAFT 23 Jan
    Childrearing through social interaction on Rossel Island, PNG Penelope Brown and Marisa Casillas Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen DRAFT 23 Jan. 2017 8047 words + 1595 ref.s Abstract: This paper describes childrearing practices, beliefs, and attitudes in a Papua New Guinea society - that of the Rossel Islanders - and shows, through analysis of interactions with infants and small children, how these are instantiated in everyday life. Drawing on data collected during research on Rossel Island spanning 14 years, including parental interviews, videotaped naturally-occurring interactions with babies and children, structured elicitations, and time sampling of activities involving children, we investigate the daily lives of Rossel children and consider how these influence their development of prosociality and their socialization into culturally shaped roles and characters. We relate the findings to other work on child socialization in small-scale societies, with special attention to the Tzeltal Maya of southern Mexico, and argue that detailed attention to the local socio-cultural contexts of childrearing is an important antidote to the tendency to emphasize universals of child development. 1 1. Introduction (655 words) 1.1 Anthropology of child socialization and language. The first detailed ethnographic studies of child upbringing in nonwestern settings were focused on Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Oceania. Margaret Mead initiated the field with her (1928, 1930) studies of childhood and adolescence in Samoa and Papua New Guinea (PNG). Malinowski expended some of his many pages on childhood in the Trobriands (summarized in Malinowski 1980). But the modern study of child socialization through language began with the collaboration of Bambi Schieffelin (1986a,b, 1990), working among the Kaluli of mainland PNG, and Elinor Ochs (1982, 1988), on Samoa.

Grayzel: Polynesian Civilization and the Future Colonization of Space Comparative Civilizations Review 7 Polynesian Civilization and the Future Colonization of Space John Grayzel Abstract Polynesian civilization was configured — prior to Western colonization — in ways similar to that sometimes described as necessary for humanity's interstellar migration into space. Over thousands of years and miles, across open ocean, a core population expanded to settle on hundreds of scattered islands, while maintaining shared identity, continued awareness and repetitive contact with each other. Key to their expansion was their development of robust ocean-going vessels and their extraordinary abilities to navigate across vast expanses of open water. The first half of the 1800s saw a surge in contacts between Polynesia and western missionaries and whalers, followed by significant depopulation due to disease and, after 1850, the imposition of Western political control.

  • Comments Concerning Mau and Hokulea
    Lord Haw-Ha Many, many thanks to Captain Chad Kalapea Baybayan for setting the record straight in this article. As an opinion, of all the articles read to date on the new Honolulu Star-Advertiser this particular article will go down as bordering on a masterpiece of goodwill. The late Pius Mau Piailug attempted to unify rather than divide, we find ourselves distanced by political and geographical ideologies, national and nationalistic boundaries which are not visible from space. Hawaiian National the late Israel Kamakawiwiole said onetime some words to the effect: "There is only one race people.... the human race. "May we always remember with pride Mau's passion for building bridges instead of walls, wishing his 'ohana the fortitude to bear their sad loss, and harmony always in the knowledge Pius Mau Piailug's legacy will stand as an iconic beacon of light in Hawai'i nei. May he rest in peace. Waimea Cowboy When you are reminded of this your eyes open to the cruel ignorance behind the Akaka Bill, which seeks to divide us. Imua! Ken Conklin 2 days ago Thanks to Chad Baybayan for an outstanding, inspirational essay. For those who might not know: Mr. Baybayan is one of the ten people (along with Nainoa Thompson) who were given the title "master navigator" by Mau Piailug in a sacred ceremony on Satawal in March 2007. My dear friend Kumu Kawena (Professor Emerita Rubellite Kawena Johnson) once gave a speech at the Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C. in which she spoke a sentence capturing the spirit of Mau Piailug and reiterated in this essay by Chad Baybayan: a sentence I have embraced as my own expression of who we all are: I am an indigenous person of this Earth.

  • Hawaiian Star Compass Wa'a Alaka'i Hōkūle'a E'ala
    Voyaging Petroglyph Artwork “We were born to be free and the canoe is a symbol of that freedom because it allowed us to go where we needed to go to exercise our beliefs and culture. Everybody on the canoe is important; everybody has a job with all of those jobs working in unity to accomplish the voyage. The canoe is a symbol of coming together and for that we honor the canoe.” ~ Kauila Clark, Native Hawaiian Artist HAWAIIAN STAR COMPASS Traditional Polynesian navigators depended on all of the natural elements in order to navigate. They used the stars and when those were obscured they used other indicators such as the waves, the wind, the birds, dolphins and other sea life. That created a close tie between the people and nature and reinforced their trust in Io, the Creator. Traditional Navigators today must develop that same close connection to nature. The Hawaiian star compass, developed by Master Navigator Nainoa Thompson, is not a physical compass, but a mental construct that helps the navigator memorize the rising and setting positions of stars, flight paths of birds, directions of the waves and other signs in nature needed to find their way. In the center of the Hawaiian star compass is Manu (Bird) with his beak, tail and outstretched wing-tips pointing midway between the four cardinal directions. WA‘A The wa‘a is the Hawaiian word for the traditional carved canoe with the distinctive outrigger (spars attached to a shaped log or float parallel to the hull) that helped stabilize the canoe. The single-hull version served as the workhorse for Native Hawaiians and their Polynesian ancestors and was used for recreation, fishing and short trips around the island.
