  • Le 'Ori, Pratique Artistique, Sociale Et Culturelle De Tahiti Et Des Îles De La
    FICHE D’INVENTAIRE DU PATRIMOINE CULTUREL IMMATÉRIEL Le ’Ori, pratique artistique, sociale et culturelle de Tahiti et des îles de la Société Danseur soliste devant orchestre Groupe de ’Ori en grand costume Danseuse soliste devant orchestre Crédits : Stéphane Maillon Crédits : Stéphane Maillon Crédits : Stéphane Maillon Description sommaire La danse tahitienne est une pratique artistique, sociale et culturelle de Tahiti et des îles de la Société désignée sous le nom de ’ori tahiti. C’est la forme de danse la plus pratiquée dans l’ensemble polynésien. Le ’ori tahiti incarne l’identité culturelle tahitienne. Qu’il soit question de danse traditionnelle, de musique et de percussions, d’art oratoire (’ōrero), de chants traditionnels (hīmeme) et de costumes, cette pratique artistique regroupe les modes d’expression culturels les plus forts et les plus vivaces. Généralement dansé par des groupes constitués de 80 à parfois 200 danseurs, le ’ori tahiti est un ferment de cohésion sociale : il permet à la jeunesse polynésienne l’apprentissage de la vie de groupe, le partage d’une vision culturelle et l’enracinement dans cette culture. La participation à un tel groupe est un signe fort d’adhésion à la communauté : dans les groupes de danse, la jeunesse polynésienne approfondit la connaissance de son histoire et des mythes et légendes du panthéon polynésien. Avec le ’ori tahiti, les praticiens célèbrent leur union avec le fenua, la terre originelle et ses éléments. Avec la danse traditionnelle tahitienne, le praticien consacre son identité. Le ’ori tahiti est donc un vecteur de préservation de la culture ancestrale, mais également le parfait moyen d’expression des nouvelles générations soucieuses de préserver l’héritage du passé tout en faisant face à la modernité.

  • Islands of Tahitiof Tahiti Are More Than a Mere Tropical Paradise, They Are Home to a Culturally Rich Group of People
    Overview IslandsThe islands of Tahitiof Tahiti are more than a mere tropical paradise, they are home to a culturally rich group of people. Today, this modern Pacific nation is a cosmopolitan blend of Polynesian heritage and French culture. Most of the Tahitians you will meet at the Polynesian Cultural Center have learned English as their third or even fourth language. French is the national language of Tahiti today but many families still speak Tahitian or another island language. Generally, students would learn English as an elective in school. While the overlay of French culture and influence is undeniable, the Tahitians still take great pride in their ancient Polynesian heritage. Location Tahiti is located about 2,400 southeast of Hawai'i. It takes about five hours by commercial jetliner to get there from Honolulu, or about eight hours from Los Angeles. Tahiti is situated about halfway between South America and Australia. Geography There are five archipelago that make up French Polynesia. These are Marquesas (Matuita), Tuamotu, Gambier (Maʻareva), Society (Totaiete), and Austral (Tuhaʻa Pae). Tahiti is the largest island located in the Society Islands and is where Papeete, the capital city of French Polynesia, is located. Population As of 2017, French Polynesia has a population of 280,000 people, 180,000 of which are located on the island of Tahiti. History and Discovery Tahitians had an oral language tradition like all the rest of Polynesia. Their histories are passed down through stories from one generation to the next. It is believed that the first settlers of Tahiti came from the west, from the islands of Samoa.

  • Form and Meaning Ofthe Polynesian Cultural Center
    Highly Structured Tourist Art: Form and Meaning ofthe Polynesian Cultural Center T. D. Webb In 1993 the Polynesian Cultural Center in La'ie, Hawai'i, celebrated its thirtieth anniversary. It opened on 12 October 1963. Since then, the center has become one of Hawai'i's most popular paid attractions. It has also ignited controversy as anthropologists, curators, and even Internal Reve­ nue Service investigators have assailed its commercialism, arguing that it is not a center for culture, but a tourist trap. But culture or kitsch, inten­ tional or unwitting, the center's attractions form an unsuspected yet dis­ tinctive aesthetic composition. The center's overlooked aesthetic, how­ ever, is supplied not by any Polynesian tradition, but by Mormonism. Established by the Mormon church, the center is a forty-acre ethnic theme park. Its paved walkways wind through immaculate grounds, gift shops, refreshment stands, a 28oo-seat amphitheater, a hangar-sized res­ taurant, and seven landscaped settings billed as "authentic reproductions" of traditional Polynesian villages (PCC 1982, np). 1 Each village is equipped with replicas of traditional Polynesian dwellings and a staff of costumed "islanders" who demonstrate Polynesian arts, crafts, and customs daily. Most of these "villagers" are Polynesian students at Brigham Young Uni­ versity-Hawai'i, whose campus adjoins the center grounds and which is also owned by the Mormon church. With youthful humor, these villagers present an idyll of Polynesia that evokes popular preconceptions of the unspoiled, uncomplicated life of the islands where natives still live in grass shacks. Each evening after the villages close, the center presents its cele­ brated stage extravaganza of Polynesian song and dance, commonly called the "night show." At the center, tourists pay about forty dollars each to see "the islands as you always hoped they would be" (pcc 1987, np).
