  • Putting Down Roots Belonging and the Politics of Settlement on Norfolk Island
    Putting Down Roots Belonging and the Politics of Settlement on Norfolk Island Mitchell Kenneth Low B.A. (Hons) University of Western Australia, 2004 This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Social Sciences (Anthropology and Sociology) 2012 Abstract In this thesis I theorise emergent nativeness and the political significance of resettlement among the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty in the Australian external territory of Norfolk Island (South Pacific). Norfolk Islanders are a group of Anglo-Polynesian descendants who trace their ancestry to unions between the mutineers of the HMAV Bounty and Tahitian women. Norfolk Islanders’ ancestors were resettled from their home of Pitcairn Island to the decommissioned, vacant, penal settlement of Norfolk Island in 1856. Since this date, members of the Norfolk community have remained at odds with state officials from Britain and Australia over the exact nature of their occupancy of Norfolk Island. This fundamental contestation over the Island’s past is the basis of ongoing struggles over recognition, Island autonomy and territoriality, and belonging. Using a combination of qualitative research conducted on Norfolk Island and extensive historical and archival research, I present an ethnography of belonging among a highly emplaced island population. One of the central problems in conceptualising Norfolk Islanders’ assertions of belonging is that Norfolk Islanders not only claim Norfolk as a homeland, but members of this community have at times declared themselves the indigenous people of the Island. With respect to recent anthropological theorisations of indigeneity as relationally and historically constituted, I consider the extent to which concepts such as ‘native’ and ‘indigenous’ may be applicable to descendants of historical migrants.

  • Norfolk Island and the Pitcairn- Descendant Population
    'Indigenous' sense of place and community in a small island: Norfolk Island and the Pitcairn- descendant population Michael Ritzau Bachelor of Arts A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) School of Geography and Environmental Studies University of Tasmania 9 January 2006 THE UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA LIBRARY 71 ooo Statement of Authenticity This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any tertiary institution and to the best of my knowledge and belief the thesis contains no copy or paraphrase of material previously published or written by other persons except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis. Michael Ritzau University of Tasmania 11 Abstract This qualitative research project has highlighted a number of issues about islandness relating to identity, place, and belonging. The research examined how certain Pitcaim-descendants mobilise a claim that they are the indigenous population of Norfolk Island. The claim is mobilised from three main positions: they are the first (or is that last?) whole people to settle Norfolk island as a permanent, inter-generational 'homeland'; they have a surviving culture, based on that developed on Pitcaim by their forebears, a culture that continues and evolves; and they maintain their own language. The claim of indigeneity being made manifests in two main sub- communities of Pitcaim-descendant Norfolk Islanders; those making explicit political statements of an 'indigenous identity'; and those making claims implicit in a lived and performed lifestyle - an 'indigenous cultural life'. Both are people 'at home' and engaged with their environment.

  • Media Release
    MEDIA RELEASE INTERESTING ITEMS FROM THE COLLECTION On Saturday the 6th, the Seventh Day Adventist Church held a Bounty Day worship service with a focus on family bibles and the rich faith heritage of the Island. Congregation members were able to bring their own family bibles for display and discussion. Some bibles on display included the Nobbs Family Bible, the Boniface Family Bible and a smaller bible belonging to Ben Christian in 1840. Three bibles from the Norfolk Island Museum Trust Collection (NIMT) were also on show and a short presentation given. In preparation for the presentation, exciting discoveries were made when the 1823 Pitcairn Bible (NIM23009) was closely inspected. Every page was carefully turned to determine if pages had been annotated and to complete a thorough condition report before the artefact travelled. The first eight pages have always been well documented as they contain the names, birth and death dates of the Adams family. Legible names include John Adams, George Adams, John Adams II, Jonathan Adams, Josiah Adams, Polly Adams, Sarah McCoy, Margaret Adams, Richard? Adams. It is believed to have been owned by John Adams II, who also recorded his grandfather’s and father’s details. A number of interesting finds can now be added to this fascinating object’s history. Many of the other family bibles on display at the SDA church service had spent the majority of their lives at home due to their value and often their large size. The same had been assumed about the Pitcairn Bible. However, a service program sheet was found neatly tucked into the bible on page 319.
