In October, I got a complaint, via the UH library, from one of my consultants in the village where I conducted my dissertation fieldwork in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The complaint was about the leader's name of a specific clan in my dissertation (Table 6.1, page 163). Leadership and clan heads in the very village are very competitive, and the Table might give an impression that clan heads are fixed.

URL from ScholarSpace: http://hdl.handle.net/10125/68926 Explanation of the issue: Since my dissertation’s publication, the UHM library has received a complaint from informants of the very village where I conducted the dissertation fieldwork. In responding to the case, I request an online errata (ming-jenwu.com or https://web.archive.org/save/ https://ming-jenwu.com/new-page). The issue was about the names of leaders on a table in Chapter 6. Date: January 29, 2021 Online Errata Statement Table 6.1. on pages 162 and 163 of the dissertation attempts to show so-called clan leaders often occupy the position of deacons within churches, which is a common phenomenon among the Motu- Koita villages in Papua New Guinea. The leadership within clans and villages is competitive and contested, although it might be based on genealogy. Therefore, the table is not to valorize the political organization of the village. SAGO AND KAGO: THE HISTORY AND MEMORY OF HIRI ON THE SOUTHEAST COAST OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI’I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ANTHROPOLOGY 2020 By Ming-Jen Wu Dissertation Committee Dr. Alex Golub (Chairperson) Dr. Jonathan Padwe Dr. Ty P. Kāwika Tengan Dr. Emanuel Drechsel Dr. Terence Wesley-Smith Abstract This dissertation is an account of the discourse of development, change, and tradition among the Motu-Koitabu population on the southeast coast of Papua New Guinea (PNG) since the development of the nation’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in 2008. The material of the dissertation derives from fieldwork conducted over 18 months between late 2014 and mid-2016 and four months of archival research. Specifically, the fieldwork was mainly conducted among Motu language speakers around the liquefaction plant site, located 15 miles west of Port Moresby, the capital city of PNG. To understand social change, I explore a variety of aspects of the discourse of events—the hiri tradition, the Pacific Games, the PNG LNG infrastructure, and the church politics. Hiri, considered a tradition of the Motuans, was a trading system of pots for sago. The Motuans around Port Moresby manufactured pottery and exchanged their products for sago with the people of Kikori-Kerema in Gulf Province. It is believed that hiri had brought food, cargo, and prosperity to a highly sterile environment inhabited by the Motuans. The PNG LNG project has transported natural gas from the production field in the Highlands through the onshore pipeline to Kikori-Kerema, and then through the offshore pipeline from Kikori-Kerema to the liquefaction plant site. Some Motu people indicated that PNG LNG is like the traditional hiri, bringing prosperity and development to the coastal area. However, the project has resulted in a series of tussles, not only in the gas field region but also among the villages around the downstream plant site. In this dissertation, I attempt to show the longue durée of the Motu-Koitabu’s connection with the outside world to draw food, wealth, and resources toward them. Instead of seeing the colonial history and modern development of the southeast coast as a disruption or alienation, I attempt to demonstrate the Motu-Koitabu’s innovation in reproducing themselves in the infertile environment and in the lack of state services. ii Table of Contents ABSTRACT II TABLE OF CONTENTS III LIST OF FIGURES V LIST OF TABLES VI CHRONOLOGY OF KEY EVENTS IN PAPUA VII ABBREVIATIONS VIII ACKNOWLEDGMENTS IX CHAPTER 1.

  • Custom and Laws in Contemporary Land Disputes Among the Motu-Koita of Papua New Guinea, 323-349
    BRAMELL'S RULES: CUSTOM AND LAW IN CONTEMPORARY LAND DISPUTES AMONG THE MOTU-KOITA OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA Michael Goddard Macquarie University, Australia Jurisprudence in Papua New Guinea acknowledges "custom," "customary law" and "customary title." Also, courts accept oral history, legends, and mythology as legitimate evidence in the investigation of land claims. At the same time it is generally acknowledged by legal scholars that custom is fluid, flexible, and adaptive to changing circumstances. When contemporary law courts investi­ gate local custom, conceived to be manifest in traditional practices, paradoxes arc inevitable when the legal pref(,rence for consistency engages with the vicissitudes of orally transmitted understandings of land rights. Europeans established themselves on the territory of the Motu-Koita, on the southeast coast, in the 1870s, and local systems of "land tenure" linked to kinship prin­ ciples were described by various authors in subsequent decades. A document on "Native Land Custom" composed by a European land commissioner in 1964 has become the standard resource on Motu-Koita land customs for legal purposes in Land Courts and Higher Courts in the postcolonial period. Two sets of "custom" are now observable in the settlement of land disputes among Motu-Koita villagers. One is visible in informal procedures, which do not involve the land court. The other is the "official" version of traditional land custom used in the land court. This paper discusses the effects on postcolonial intragroup land disputes and conceptions of descent principles when Motu­ Koita have recourse through the courts to a colonial-era representation of their customary attitudes to land rights.

Abstract In total, 58 species of waterbird were recorded on the grassed floodplain of the Middle Fly during surveys in December 1994 and April 1995. The floodplain is an important dry-season habitat both in New Guinea and internationally, with an estimated (k s.e.) 587249 f 62741 waterbirds in December. Numbers decreased 10-fold between December and April to 54914 f 9790: the area was less important during the wet season when it was more deeply inundated. Only magpie geese, comb-crested jacanas and spotted whistling-ducks were recorded breeding on the floodplain. The waterbird community was numerically dominated by fish-eating species, especially in December. Substantial proportions of the populations of many species that occurred on the Middle Fly in December were probably dry-season migrants from Australia, suggesting that migration across Torres Strait is important to the maintenance of waterbird numbers in both New Guinea and Australia. Introduction About 700 species of bird occur on the island of New Guinea (Coates 1985; Beehler et al.

  • Diversity of Banana Cultivars and Their Usages in the Papua New Guinea Lowlands: a Case Study Focusing on the Kalapua Subgroup
    People and Culture in Oceania, 34: 55-78, 2018 Diversity of Banana Cultivars and their Usages in the Papua New Guinea Lowlands: A Case Study Focusing on the Kalapua Subgroup Shingo Odani,* Kaori Komatsu,** Kagari Shikata-Yasuoka,*** Yasuaki Sato,**** and Koichi Kitanishi***** The purpose of this study was to assess the diversity of banana cultivars and their usage in 3 lowland areas of Papua New Guinea, where bananas are a staple food. We focus on the kalapua subgroup, which is of genome group ABB. We found 3 subgroups of banana at the 3 research sites: the kalapua subgroup, a subgroup of cooking bananas other than kalapua, and a subgroup used as dessert bananas. We observed that kalapua subgroup cultivars and other subgroup cultivars are planted in separate gardens, likely because the growth rate and tolerance to climate differ between kalapua and other subgroup cultivars. A nutritional status assessment revealed that in the kalapua subgroup, nutrient levels, except for carbohydrates, are comparatively low. Thus, farmers classify and produce kalapua and other cultivars separately. Kalapua, which are known for their tolerance for both dry conditions and flooding, are cultivated as a sustainable energy supply. Other banana cultivars may be grown because of their nutritional composition, as a matter of preference, or as a means of cash income. Keywords: banana, Papua New Guinea, kalapua, taxonomy, farming system, nutrition 1. Introduction Plants of the genus Musa whose fruits are edible are generally called banana.1 Almost all bananas currently present originated from 2 wild species, Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. * Faculty of Letters, Chiba University, Japan.

  • Notes on the Gulf Province Languages Overview
    Notes on the Gulf Province languages Karl Franklin (Data Collected 1968-1973; this report collated 2011) Information compiled here is from notes that I collected between 1968 and 1973. Following the completion of my Ph.D. degree at the Australian National University in 1969, I was awarded a post-doctoral fellowship in 1970 to conduct a linguistic survey of the Gulf Province. In preparation for the survey I wrote a paper that was published as: Franklin, Karl J. 1968. Languages of the Gulf District: A Preview. Pacific Linguistics, Series A, 16.19-44. As a result of the linguistic survey in1970, I edited a book with ten chapters, written by eight different scholars (Franklin, Lloyd, MacDonald, Shaw, Wurm, Brown, Voorhoeve and Dutton). From this data I proposed a classification scheme for 33 languages. For specific details see: Franklin, Karl J. 1973 (ed.) The linguistic situation in the Gulf District and adjacent areas, Papua New Guinea. Pacific Linguistics, Series C, 26, x + 597 pp. Overview There are three sections in this paper. The first is a table that briefly outlines information on languages, dialects and villages of the Gulf Province. (Note that I cannot verify the spelling of each village/language due to differences between various sources.) The second section of the paper is an annotated bibliography and the third is an Appendix with notes from Annual Reports of the Territory of Papua. Source Notes Author/Language Woodward Annual pp. 19-22 by Woodward notes that: Report (AR) Four men of Pepeha were murdered by Kibeni; there is 1919-20:19- now friendly relations between Kirewa and Namau; 22 information on patrols to Ututi, Sirebi, and Kumukumu village on a whaleboat.

  • Papua New Guinea Additional Power and Electricity Information
    Papua New Guinea Additional Power and Electricity Information Source: Compiled by VisionRI from information in the National & Provincial Ten Year Power Development Plan (2007-16), PNG Power Limited, 2006, and revised based on ongoing discussions with ED-DPE, 2007-08. Distribution PPL supplies power to Port Moresby and 26 other urban centers through 19 independent power systems. Its present generating capacity is 153 MW (80 MW in Port Moresby) for total energy sales of 742 GWh (316 GWh in Port Moresby). PPL, formerly the Electricity Commission, used to be the sole generator, transmitter and distributor of electricity in the country. In 1999, an independent power producer, Hanjung Power Ltd, negotiated the production and sale of power to the grid within a 15-year build-operate-transfer (BOT) arrangement. However, the present electricity tariff of about $0.15 per kilowatt hour (kWh) is hardly sufficient to cover the cost of the diesel oil needed to produce power in Port Moresby. In rural areas the cost of diesel alone can be three times the tariff, or more. Since 2003, PPL has been earmarked for privatization and a new private commercial operator, PNG Sustainable Energy Ltd (SEL), is beginning to enter the sector. Sector Issues Lack of reliable quality power supply to the main urban areas may limit economic growth. Investments are required in power generation and the transmission and distribution grids for the Port Moresby and Ramu grids. Town electrification - Poor-quality power supply in provincial centers and lack of generation to meet growing demand is limiting economic growth in provincial urban centers not connected to the main grids.
