    Matrilineal Kinship at Sea in Bougainville, PNG

    HUMANIORA VOLUME 30 Number 3 October 2018 Page 223–236 Matrilineal Kinship at Sea in Bougainville, PNG Katharina Schneider Independent Researcher E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper explores matrilineal kinship in the Buka area, in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, from the perspective of saltwater people on Pororan Island. In Bougainville and elsewhere in Melanesia, anthropological research has highlighted the importance of joint work in the gardens, of sharing and exchanging garden food, and of negotiations of access to land for kinship and relatedness in the region. Where does this leave saltwater people, who often have only small areas of land of their own, take little interest in gardening and depend on traded sweet potatoes or imported rice for meeting their subsistence needs? In the first part of this paper, I discuss the “landed” bias in anthropological research on kinship, including matrilineal kinship. I then suggest complementary descriptive and analytic terms that may be useful for researchers who want to understand kin relations among saltwater people, based on my experiences among Pororan Islanders in Bougainville. Finally, I indicate the theoretical contribution that these terms can make to research on kinship in landed settings, as well. Keywords: matrilineal kinship; saltwater people; maritime anthropology; Bougainville; Papua New Guinea INTRODUCTION The topic of this paper is matrilineal kinship among 05. The Buka area includes Buka Island, locally Pororan Islanders in Bougainville, PNG, and its called

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We describe a new species of Cornufer, subgenus Batrachylodes, from high-elevation forests of New Britain Island in the Bismarck Archipelago of Eastern Melanesia. The new species, Cornufer exedrus sp. nov., is a biogeographically disjunct member of the Batrachylodes clade, representing the first record of the subgenus from outside of the Solomon Archipel- ago. The new species is a small terrestrial form from dense, closed-canopy forests above 1500 meters elevation in the Na- kanai Mountains of eastern New Britain. It differs from its closest relatives, the other members of the subgenus Batrachylodes, on the basis of its minute body size, degree of digital disc expansion, reduced subdigital tuberculation, color pattern, and other traits related to its small size.

    SOLOMON ISLANDS Can Dopretty Muchwhatever Youwant,Andwillbelimited Onlybyyourimagination

    © Lonely Planet Publications 246 Solomon Islands One of the last South Pacific frontiers, these islands are Melanesia at its most inspiring and secretive. Wanting to get off the beaten path? It’s easy: there is no beaten path. Just you, the ocean, dense rainforest and traditional villages; it feels like the world’s end. In this enigmatic archipelago, blessed with a compelling history, intriguing cultures and natural beauty, opportunities to create your own trail abound. It’s all about eco-travel: climb an extinct volcano, trek across a mountainous landscape as old as dinosaurs, slog through jungle paths to reach secluded waterfalls, and experience the leaf-hut villages where trad- itional culture is alive. Those looking for a bit less swashbuckling and more creature comforts will delight in soothing eco-lodges and the majestic scenery from a tranquil sundeck. This is only the beginning. Divers will be in seventh heaven, whether exploring Marovo Lagoon’s reefs or diving around the fleet of WWII ship and plane wrecks resting on the seafloor between Guadalcanal and Tulagi. Kayaking, surfing and fishing are also here. Above the surface, plenty of WWII relics scattered in the jungle will captivate history buffs. The question, though, is this: after a few years of civil strife, how safe is the country? Thanks to foreign aid, the Solomons is bouncing back and visitors will feel more than welkam. Yes, you can do pretty much whatever you want, and will be limited only by your imagination. SOLOMON ISLANDS The best part is, there’ll be no crowds to share in the experience.
