  • Peter G. Sack Land Between Two Laws
    This book penetrates the facade Peter G. Sack Land Between of colonial law to consider European land acquisitions Two Laws in the context of a complex historical process. Its context is land, but it is fundamentally a legal study of the problems arising out of the dichotomy between traditional New Early European Land Guinea law and imposed Prussian law. Though these Acquisitions in New Guinea problems arose out of events that took place more than fifty years ago, they are of immediate relevance for New Guinea in the 1970s. They are mostly still unsolved and are only now emerging from under the layers of po­ litical compromise that have concealed them. Dr Sack emphasises the differences between tra­ ditional and introduced law in New Guinea in order to in ­ vestigate the chances of a synthesis between them. He offers no panacea, but points up clearly the tasks which must be accomplished before the 'land between two laws' can become a truly indepen­ dent state. This is an essential work for anthropologists, lawyers and all those con­ cerned with the emergence of a stable, unified Papua New Guinea. This book penetrates the facade Peter G.

South Pacific Commission 639.2'9585 AACR2 ISBN 982-203-511-X Prepared for publication and printed at South Pacific Commission headquarters Noumea, New Caledonia, 1996 ii SUMMARY The waters of Papua New Guinea, including the archipelagic waters of the New Guinea Islands Region, harbour a rich tuna resource that has not been exploited commercially by longline vessels for almost a decade. In the latter part of 1991, Government and private-sector interests in the New Guinea Islands Region began exploring the possibility of establishing a domestic tuna longline industry. As part of this effort the PNG Islands Region Secretariat and the East New Britain (ENB) Provincial Government sought the assistance of staff from the South Pacific Commission’s Coastal Fisheries Programme to design a tuna fisheries development strategy, and to secure the technical and financial assistance necessary to initiate such a programme.

  • Abstract of Counting Systems of Papua New Guinea and Oceania
    Abstract of http://www.uog.ac.pg/glec/thesis/ch1web/ABSTRACT.htm Abstract of Counting Systems of Papua New Guinea and Oceania by Glendon A. Lean In modern technological societies we take the existence of numbers and the act of counting for granted: they occur in most everyday activities. They are regarded as being sufficiently important to warrant their occupying a substantial part of the primary school curriculum. Most of us, however, would find it difficult to answer with any authority several basic questions about number and counting. For example, how and when did numbers arise in human cultures: are they relatively recent inventions or are they an ancient feature of language? Is counting an important part of all cultures or only of some? Do all cultures count in essentially the same ways? In English, for example, we use what is known as a base 10 counting system and this is true of other European languages. Indeed our view of counting and number tends to be very much a Eurocentric one and yet the large majority the languages spoken in the world - about 4500 - are not European in nature but are the languages of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific, Africa, and the Americas. If we take these into account we obtain a quite different picture of counting systems from that of the Eurocentric view. This study, which attempts to answer these questions, is the culmination of more than twenty years on the counting systems of the indigenous and largely unwritten languages of the Pacific region and it involved extensive fieldwork as well as the consultation of published and rare unpublished sources.

  • The Death of Godeffroy's Kleinschmidt, and the Perception of H
    “STORI BILONG WANPELA MAN NEM BILONG EM TOBOALILU,” THE DEATH OF GODEFFROY’S KLEINSCHMIDT, AND THE PERCEPTION OF HISTORY Heinz Schütte Paris, France Introduction This article is a footnote to a question of prime theoretical interest, namely the process of transition from one societal form to another. It poses another question that is, however, of central importance in that context: How is history made and how is it retained in the memory of those who come after? This question cannot be answered hastily, and the present essay is to be regarded only as an illustration of a very par- ticular case in New Guinea. Two levels of “history” are presented that in reality represent one event; that is, one aspect of European expansion overseas in the course of which the people whom that expansion came to dominate were deprived of their own history.’ What will be related here, then, are two versions of the same event, viewed through two mutually exclusive sets of interests that shaped their respective perspectives: that of the Europe- ans, their Pacific helpers and their allies, and that of the Utuan and Mioko peoples native to the area. Yet even within these two groups there emerge significant differences of perception and interpretation that- albeit at times overlapping-are contingent on the actors’ relative posi- tion in the drama that is acted out. The one version would maintain that it is “history,” objectively reporting what happened, the other that it is a “story” or “tradition,” known by individuals or small groups and only to be expressed orally.

  • Buai: “There Is Good and Bad There”
    BUAI: “THERE IS GOOD AND BAD THERE” Experiencing and narrating the spiritual power of music and Dance in the New Guinea Island Region [ReCeiveD November 9th 2016; accepted February 28th 2017 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.11.2.09] Paul WolFFram ViCtoria University of Wellington <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: Buai is a form of sorcery known throughout the New Guinea IslanD region of Papua New Guinea. This soCially sanCtioneD form of magiCal practice is preDominantly useD for creative enDs, particularly the conjuring of musiC anD dance material. In many parts of New IrelanD anD among the Lak people of Southern New IrelanD, Buai is relieD upon to deliver new songs anD dances for community celebrations anD ritual perFormance. The practitioners of Buai, known as tena Buai, are revereD for their creative powers anD occasionally feareD for their potential to use their power for destructive enDs. Through a combination of personal experience anD conversations with tena Buai of Southern New IrelanD, this article explores the ways in whiCh tena Buai are perceiveD by their communities. In this article I take up the idea that soCial practices, actions anD understandings suCh as those of the Buai practice are intersubjeCtively constituted through narrative as well as practice anD thereFore in a constant state of change, flux anD negotiation. KEYWORDS: Papua New Guinea, Sorcery, Lak, New IrelanD, Buai EnCountering tena Buai1 In 2004 after several years of learning musiC anD dance in the Lak region I encountered a well-known tena Buai2 practitioner, Toluluai, in Rabaul while waiting for a ship to return me to Southern New IrelanD.
