  • The 16 STATES
    The 16 STATES Pristine Paradise. 2 Palau is an archipelago of diverse terrain, flora and fauna. There is the largest island of volcanic origin, called Babeldaob, the outer atoll and limestone islands, the Southern Lagoon and islands of Koror, and the southwest islands, which are located about 250 miles southwest of Palau. These regions are divided into sixteen states, each with their own distinct features and attractions. Transportation to these states is mainly by road, boat, or small aircraft. Koror is a group of islands connected by bridges and causeways, and is joined to Babeldaob Island by the Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge. Once in Babeldaob, driving the circumference of the island on the highway can be done in a half day or full day, depending on the number of stops you would like. The outer islands of Angaur and Peleliu are at the southern region of the archipelago, and are accessable by small aircraft or boat, and there is a regularly scheduled state ferry that stops at both islands. Kayangel, to the north of Babeldaob, can also be visited by boat or helicopter. The Southwest Islands, due to their remote location, are only accessible by large ocean-going vessels, but are a glimpse into Palau’s simplicity and beauty. When visiting these pristine areas, it is necessary to contact the State Offices in order to be introduced to these cultural treasures through a knowledgeable guide. While some fees may apply, your contribution will be used for the preservation of these sites. Please see page 19 for a list of the state offices.

  • 7. INTERVIEWS with PALAUANS (Ngiwal, Airai, Rdialul, Ngaraard) Multiple Dates: Many Other American Aircraft Lost Over Palau Have
    7. INTERVIEWS WITH PALAUANS (Ngiwal, Airai, Rdialul, Ngaraard) Multiple Dates : Many other American aircraft lost over Palau have never been found. Accordingly, the P-MAN XI team continued to request and conduct videoed interviews (with permission obtained prior to the interview using the new form developed with the Palauan Bureau of Arts and Crafts) with Palauans to seek information leading to additional crash sites, MIAs or POWs. Because of the shorter three week mission, the team only was able to conduct 7 interviews with Palauan elders, historians and hunters throughout Palau, which follow. The consent form used is at the end of this section. This section was assembled by Molly Osborne, with great appreciation, and edited by me. a. Interview #1 : 20MAR09 with Vince Blaiyok (born 1953), Director of Tourism & Culture- Airai. © K. Rasdorf, 2009 This is a follow- up interview from last year’s mission. Reid (not present this year) and Pat wanted to ask more questions about sightings of one or more aircraft in Airai. Vince had family present during WWII where they stayed in caves in the Ngeream area/mangroves (noted on annotated map below). NON-CONFIDENTIAL: FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Page 85 Aircraft 1: “Painted Lady” airplane (the report from last year: blue, single -engine aircraft lying in 35 feet of water in a channel south of Airai): Mr. Blaiyok had not see this but his elders who have now passed on said they did. (NOTE: IN ~1994, Surangel Whipps reported to Pat of knowing people who saw this aircraft; dives in the channel, which can have swift currents and very low visibility, in 1994 and 1996 failed to find any such aircraft or related debris).

THESIS COMMITTEE CJ~2~ Chariperson ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people provided me with generous support, constructive criticisms and valuable information. Dr. Arthur J. Vidich and Dr. Machiko Aoyagi, despite their busy schedules and the nature of my thesis, kindly responded to my numerous questions through their correspondence. Without their cooperation, I would have had no access to their rich experiences during their fieldwork in Palau. I would like to express my particular appreciation to Dr. Vidich who shared with me his personal memories in a twenty-two-page hand-written letter and also in several additional letters and copies of his personal writings. Dr. Kiyonori Kanasaka, a professor at Kyoto University, was extremely generous in providing me with a large amount of Japanese material, which otherwise I would have been unable to obtain. He also offered me invaluable information, acquired through his wide network with other Japanese scholars. Throughout the course of my research, members of my thesis committee, Dr. Suzanne Falgout, Dr. David Hanlon and Dr. Karen Peacock, indicated their warm support for my project and provided me with valuable criticisms and information.

  • The Japanese Language in Palau
    The Japanese Language in Palau Daniel Long & Keisuke Imamura with assistance from Masaharu Tmodrang Supervising Editor Shinji Sanada Nara University 2013 National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics Tokyo 1 Foreword In this report we examine the state of the Japanese language, in many various forms, in modern day Palau (Belau). The science of linguistics generally concentrates on language in its spoken form, and rightly so, but in this report we have made a special effort to include visual illustrations of points we are trying to make about spoken language usage by the inclusion of photographs of signage, in other examples of written language such as those found in Palau’s linguistic landscape. Concerning the report’s title, “The Japanese Language in Palau”, we have defined this term to include as many relevant phenomena as possible. We discuss characteristics of Japanese as a language system as it is used in Palau. Some of these characteristics are vestiges of native Japanese dialects, while some show the effects of Japanese having been acquired as a foreign language by Palauans. Furthermore, we include peripheral phenomena such as proper nouns – names of places and people – of Japanese origin. We also examine Japanese-origin loanwords used in the Palauan language. We examine writing as well, with examples of how Japanese kana script is used to write the Palauan language. 2 Tab le of Contents 1. Historical background 1.1. Japanese territorial expansion in the Pacific 1.2. Japanese language educational policy 2. The usage of Japanese names in Palau 2.1. Japanese surnames among Palauans of Japanese descent 2.2.
