The Autobiography has therefore been re-cast and illustrated, in the hope and prayer that the Lord will use it to inspire the Boys and Girls of Christendom with a whole-hearted enthusiasm for the Conversion of the Heathen World to Jesus Christ. A few fresh incidents have been introduced ; the whole contents have been rearranged to suit a new class of readers ; and the service of a gifted Artist has been employed, to make the book every way attractive to the young.

Appendix 3: Finding Aid for Vanuatu Material in Scotland
ReviewReview ofof PacificPacific Collections in Scottish Museums Appendix 3: Finding Aid for Vanuatu Material in Scotland Produced as part of Pacific Collections in Scottish Museums: Unlocking their knowledge and potential project 2013-2014. For full information and resources visit www.nms.ac.uk/pacific Artefacts and Archives relating to Vanuatu in public repositories in Scotland (United Kingdom) This finding aid has been compiled as a result of a preliminary survey of Pacific Collections in Scottish Museums undertaken between April 2013 and December 2014. The review scoped the extent of Pacific collections in Scotland and identified key strengths and resources for future research. It also compiled Collections Level Descriptions for each regional island group and to highlight significance. The review was undertaken as a partnership across four museums in Scotland with significant or extensive collections from the Pacific region. These partners were National Museums Scotland (Edinburgh); Glasgow Museums; Perth Museum and Art Gallery and Aberdeen University Museums. Each of these museums hold collections from Vanuatu that have clear associations with islands or regions in Vanuatu and relate to well known Scottish missionaries. How to use this finding aid This finding aid provides an overview of Ni-Vanuatu artefact collections in Scotland and where possible related archives or photographs. The following list provides the names of key individuals through which the collections were acquired. The finding aid enables an initial overview of collections and resources and provides contact details for each of the major museums and libraries so that requests for further information can be made. The finding aid should also be used in conjunction with Excel spreadsheets and photographs of artefacts also deposited with the National Archives of Vanuatu. -
Mapping the Information Environment in the Pacific Island Countries: Disruptors, Deficits, and Decisions
December 2019 Mapping the Information Environment in the Pacific Island Countries: Disruptors, Deficits, and Decisions Lauren Dickey, Erica Downs, Andrew Taffer, and Heidi Holz with Drew Thompson, S. Bilal Hyder, Ryan Loomis, and Anthony Miller Maps and graphics created by Sue N. Mercer, Sharay Bennett, and Michele Deisbeck Approved for Public Release: distribution unlimited. IRM-2019-U-019755-Final Abstract This report provides a general map of the information environment of the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). The focus of the report is on the information environment—that is, the aggregate of individuals, organizations, and systems that shape public opinion through the dissemination of news and information—in the PICs. In this report, we provide a current understanding of how these countries and their respective populaces consume information. We map the general characteristics of the information environment in the region, highlighting trends that make the dissemination and consumption of information in the PICs particularly dynamic. We identify three factors that contribute to the dynamism of the regional information environment: disruptors, deficits, and domestic decisions. Collectively, these factors also create new opportunities for foreign actors to influence or shape the domestic information space in the PICs. This report concludes with recommendations for traditional partners and the PICs to support the positive evolution of the information environment. This document contains the best opinion of CNA at the time of issue. It does not necessarily represent the opinion of the sponsor or client.

Pacific Study (Focusing on Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu
1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Hazard exposure 1.1. Pacific island countries (PICs) are vulnerable to a broad range of natural disasters stemming from hydro-meteorological (such as cyclones, droughts, landslide and floods) and geo-physical hazards (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis). In any given year, it is likely that Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu are either hit by, or recovering from, a major natural disaster. 1.2. The impact of natural disasters is estimated by the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative as equivalent to an annualized loss of 6.6% of GDP in Vanuatu, and 4.3% in Tonga. For Fiji, the average asset losses due to tropical cyclones and floods are estimated at more than 5%. 1.3. In 2014, Tropical Cyclone (TC) Ian caused damage equivalent to 11% to Tonga's GDP. It was followed in 2018 by damage close to 38% of GDP from TC Gita. In 2015, category five TC Pam displaced 25% of Vanuatu's population and provoked damage estimated at 64% of GDP. In Fiji, Tropical Cyclone Winston affected 62% of the population and wrought damage amounting to 31% of GDP, only some three and a half years after the passage of Tropical Cyclone Evan. 1.4. Vanuatu and Tonga rank number one and two in global indices of natural disaster risk. Seismic hazard is an ever-present danger for both, together with secondary risks arising from tsunamis and landslides. Some 240 earthquakes, ranging in magnitude between 3.3 and 7.1 on the Richter Scale, struck Vanuatu and its surrounding region in the first ten months of 2018. -

Compiled by Prints and Drawings Department 2008 Joly Collection – Captain Cook’s Voyages Introduction This list details the plates showing the Voyages of Captain Cook, which form part of the Joly Collection held by the Department of Prints and Drawings. The collection contains prints from a number of different publications relating to Cook’s voyages. The plates have been divided by the volume they relate to, and then arranged, where possible, in the order they are found in the printed work. The plates in this collection cover the three voyages of Captain Cook; 1768-71, 1772-5 and 1776-9. On each voyage Cook was accompanied by a different artist, and it is on their drawings that the plates are based. On the first voyage Captain Cook was accompanied by Sydney Parkinson, who died shortly before the end of the voyage. William Hodges replaced Parkinson on the second voyage and the third voyage was covered by John Webber. Sydney Parkinson’s Illustrations, 1773 These plates come from A Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas, in his Majesty’s Ship, the Endeavour faithfully transcribed from the papers of the late Sydney Parkinson published in London in 1773.

Reconciling Kastom and Modernity in Contemporary Vanuatu A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Sciences at The University of Waikato by Lavinia Gael Lea Mahit 2016 Abstract Drawing on fieldwork data and relevant anthropological literature, this thesis examines how potential tensions between the categories of modernity and kastom are reconciled in contemporary Vanuatu. Following an outline of how the category of kastom emerged through colonial encounters, the contemporary ‘mix’ between the indigenous and non-indigenous categories is considered. This research further considers the breakdown of an ‘indigenous/exogenous’, ‘old/new’, or ‘past/present’ dichotomy, and shows how the juxtaposition of these concepts offers a new way of understanding the world - not necessarily in opposition, but not always in agreement. The analysis is presented in four stages. -
Bislama Into Kwamera: Code-Mixing and Language Change on Tanna (Vanuatu)
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa Vol. 1, No. 2 (December 2007), pp. 216–239 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ Bislama into Kwamera: Code-mixing and Language Change on Tanna (Vanuatu) Lamont Lindstrom University of Tulsa People throughout Vanuatu frequently mix Bislama (that country’s national Pidgin) into their vernaculars. Extensive code-mixing is an obvious indicator, and sometime cause, of language change or even language replacement. This paper discusses several sorts of Bislama code-mixing on Tanna among speakers of that island’s Kwamera language. It assesses levels and kinds of Bislama use in four village debates, tape-recorded in 1982 and 1983. Among other uses, Kwamera speakers mix Bislama when interjecting, reiterating, reporting speech, neutralizing marked vernacular terms, and qualifying what they say. The paper concludes with some remarks on the phonological, morphological/syntactic, and lexical/semantic consequences of recurrent language mixing—on how Islanders’ insertions of Bislama into their oratorical and everyday talk may or may not be effecting linguistic change in Kwamera. Bislama, so far at least, has enriched more than it has impoverished Tanna’s linguistic ecology. Speakers’ frequent Bislama mixes have not yet seriously undermined their vernacular. 1. INTRODUCTION. On the island of Tanna, Vanuatu, many people say that they don’t speak their language the way they used to. This language is Kwamera—or, to give it its local name, Nɨninɨfe1 or Nɨfe (Lindstrom 1986; Lindstrom and Lynch 1994). Around 3,500 people living along Tanna’s southeastern coasts speak Kwamera. -

Monetary Policy and Economic Imbalances: An Ethnographic Examination of the Arbee Rituals* Arthur Grimes** Introduction In his “Life Among the Econ” Axel Leijonhufvud (1973) took an ethnographic approach to describing the Econ tribe and, especially, two of its components: the Macro and the Micro. My purpose is to delve further into the life of the Macro, specifically examining the Arbee sub-tribe. Like Leijonhufvud, I take an ethnographic approach, having lived amongst the Arbee for two lengthy periods totalling twenty-four years. The Arbee sub-tribe that I have lived within, and will examine here, is situated in a small set of islands in the southern Pacific Ocean, that some call Aotearoa and others call New Zealand. They are related to Arbee sub-tribes elsewhere in the world through tight kinship connections.1 In ethnographic research,2 it is common to collect data through direct, first-hand observation of participants’ activities. Interviews may be used, varying from formal interviews to frequent casual small talk. Suffice to say, that no formal interviews have been adopted for this research. However there has been much first hand observation both of the Arbee people and of their relationships with other tribes and sub-tribes both in Aotearoa and beyond. The Imbalance The task of our research is to examine the nature of the Arbee reaction to claims by other tribes and sub-tribes that the Arbee rituals have caused The Imbalance in The Economy.3 Specifically, their highly formalised OC Ritual (OCR) has been blamed for creating The * I wish to thank Professor David Bettison who, in teaching me economic anthropology, taught me more about the subject of economics than did any economist before or since. -
