HAIA! an Introduction to Vagahau Niue the Image of the Tika on the Cover of This Resource Represents the Journey of the Learner TEACHERS’ GUIDE AND SUPPORT MATERIALS LEARNING LANGUAGES SERIES TEACHERS’ GUIDEANDSUPPORTMATERIALSLEARNINGLANGUAGESSERIES AN INTRODUCTIONTO VAGAHAU NIUE HAIA! An Introduction to Vagahau Niue The image of the tika on the cover of this resource represents the journey of the learner. The learner’s journey is like the fl ight of a tika through the air and along the ground, moving towards the goal of being able to communicate in vagahau Niue. You throw a tika a bit like a javelin. It has two parts. The head has a solid, three-dimensional oval shape with a long, sharp piece at the end. This is the fakaulu (head piece). It is usually made from the wood of hardwood trees, such as kieto. The size of the fakaulu depends on the size of the thrower. The rest of a tika is made from a mamala shoot, which is extremely light. The soft green bark on the shoot is peeled off by fi rst heating the shoot over a fi re to soften it. To ensure that a shoot is dry and straight, it is then hung from a branch or a beam. A heavy rock is, in turn, hung from it, so that it will straighten out. This part of a tika, the kà fùmamala, needs to be longer than the thrower’s arm. The sharp end of the fakaulu is then pushed into the kà fùmamala and bound with sennit or coloured twine. In the sport of tà tika, you throw a tika so that it lands on the side of the fakaulu and slides as far as possible along on the ground. The length of your throw is measured to where the slide stops. Tà tika is an ancient sport that is unique to Niue. Haia! is an interjection of approval. After a great throw, you might compliment the thrower by saying “Haia!” When a learner can communicate in vagahau Niue, you could say “Haia! All right! See, now you can communicate in vagahau Niue!” Published 2010 for the Ministry of Education by CWA New Media, Box 19090, Wellington 6149, New Zealand. www.cwa.co.nz Publishing services by Lift Education, South Pacifi c Press Design services by ThinkSpace Design Illustrated by Scott Pearson Text copyright © Crown 2010 Illustrations copyright © Crown 2010 Hiapo image © Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa FE007589 Music copyright © Crown 2010 All rights reserved.

He moana Tagaloa, Tagaloa Hò lagi mamao è Tagaloa, Tagaloa Hò lagi mamao è Fakaalofa lahi atu! Welcome to the Learning Languages Series resource Haia! An Introduction to Vagahau Niue. This communicative language resource provides an integrated package of materials designed to offer fl exible, entry-level lessons for teachers and students who are new learners of vagahau Niue. The design of the resource acknowledges the fact that, as for many teachers, this may be your fi rst association with teaching a Pasifi ka language. It encourages you, the teacher, to adopt the role of the facilitator in the classroom, learning along with the students and, potentially, learning from them. Please don’t worry, and reassure students so that they don’t worry, if you don’t understand some words and aspects of the culture as you encounter them. Learners are not expected to understand everything right away. The DVDs will help you to focus on the target language in context. The presenter identifi es the language focus at each step. Don’t worry about pronunciation. You will hear everything you need to say in vagahau Niue on the audio CDs, and there are lots of opportunities for practice. Speakers of the Niue language increasingly avoid the word Niuean, preferring instead vagahau Niue for the language, Tagata Niue for the people, and aga fakamotu for the culture of Niue. In this resource, words in vagahau Niue appear in italics to facilitate the teaching and learning of the language. Students of Niue heritage may take advantage of the opportunity to extend their knowledge and use of vagahau Niue and aga fakamotu in schools where Haia! An Introduction to Vagahau Niue is used. For this reason, the resource includes some learning activities that involve tagata Niue. 6 The Components of the Resource Preface The DVDs The DVDs provide audiovisual material for every unit of the resource except Unit 10 and Unit 19 (which are revision units). Play the DVD material at the beginning of the fi rst lesson of each unit (that is, at the start of Lesson A) to introduce the aspects of the culture and the language covered in the unit. The DVD material for a unit runs for fi ve minutes and twenty-two seconds on average and comprises presenter-linked sequences. These include language scenarios set in Niue and New Zealand that show students communicating in vagahau Niue (for example, by email). The An Introduction to Vagahau Niue DVDs provide instructional material on aspects of the culture and the language covered in the units, including glimpses of the culture (aga fakamotu) and the people of Niue (Tagata Niue) in both Niue and in New Zealand. HAIA! Transcripts of the language scenarios with English translations are at the end of each unit, except in the cases of Unit 10 and Unit 19. We recommend repeated viewings, which will help you to implement the language-learning strategy of “a little, often”. For example, some or all of a unit’s DVD material could be shown before the students go to lunch and again at the end of the day – that is, outside language- learning times. The CDs Use the same approach with the audio content on the CDs. The replay button is a valuable tool when learning another language. There’s no need to review all the audio material for a unit – just replay short sections. Audio transcripts are provided at the end of the units, except again in the case of Unit 10 and Unit 19. The Printed Material The printed material comprises this preface and twenty units.

  • A Brief Ethnohistory of Rapa Island, French Polynesia, AD 1791–1840
    2 ‘Dwelling carelessly, quiet and secure’ A brief ethnohistory of Rapa Island, French Polynesia, AD 1791–1840 Atholl Anderson Department of Archaeology and Natural History, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, [email protected] Introduction In 1826, the first European missionary to Rapa, the Rev. John Davies, quoted Judges 18:7 in seeing the Rapans as ‘dwelling carelessly, quiet and secure, and having no business with any man’ (in Stokes n.d.:28; an idiomatic rendering of the passage). It was to some extent, possibly to a great extent, quite illusory. Rapa was certainly isolated by comparison with most of East Polynesia, and it was small, mountainous and relatively cold, but even the first European visitors found that Rapans exhibited evidence of contact with the outside world, and within Rapan traditions, historical observations and ethnographic data which together form the stuff of ethnohistory, the theme of contact and change is illustrated continually. Rapan society was East Polynesian in ancestry and culture. Rapans spoke an East Polynesian language, but its closest affinities were puzzling for a long time. The earliest historical contacts with Rapans showed that they found both Hawaiian and Tahitian largely unintelligible and later characterisation of Rapan by European scholars was confused because of the early introduction of Tahitian by missionaries and, after 1863, of other Polynesian languages by Tongans, Tokelauans and Cook Islanders, whose descendants came eventually to represent nearly half of the population (Stokes 1955). Samuel Stutchbury had observed, presciently, in 1826 (in Richards 2004:5) that the Rapan language was ‘something resembling the Marquesan’, but Horatio Hale (1968:141), about 1840, ‘obtained at Tahiti, from a native of Rapa, a brief vocabulary of the language spoken there, which turns out to be, with a few verbal exceptions, pure Rarotongan, and this in its minute peculiarities’, while the missionaries William Ellis (1838) and M.

  • The Mercurian Volume 3, No
    The Mercurian A Theatrical Translation Review Volume 3, Number 4 Editor: Adam Versényi ISSN 2160-3316 The Mercurian is named for Mercury who, if he had known it, was/is the patron god of theatrical translators, those intrepid souls possessed of eloquence, feats of skill, messengers not between the gods but between cultures, traders in images, nimble and dexterous linguistic thieves. Like the metal mercury, theatrical translators are capable of absorbing other metals, forming amalgams. As in ancient chemistry, the mercurian is one of the five elementary “principles” of which all material substances are compounded, otherwise known as “spirit”. The theatrical translator is sprightly, lively, potentially volatile, sometimes inconstant, witty, an ideal guide or conductor on the road. The Mercurian publishes translations of plays and performance pieces from any language into English. The Mercurian also welcomes theoretical pieces about theatrical translation, rants, manifestos, and position papers pertaining to translation for the theatre, as well as production histories of theatrical translations. Submissions should be sent to: Adam Versényi at [email protected] or by snail mail: Adam Versényi, Department of Dramatic Art, CB# 3230, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3230. For translations of plays or performance pieces, unless the material is in the public domain, please send proof of permission to translate from the playwright or original creator of the piece. Since one of the primary objects of The Mercurian is to move translated pieces into production, no translations of plays or performance pieces will be published unless the translator can certify that he/she has had an opportunity to hear the translation performed in either a reading or another production-oriented venue.

  • Analysing the Origin of Māui the Semi-Divine Trickster in Polynesian Mythology*
    Analysing the Origin of Māui the Semi-Divine Trickster in Polynesian Mythology* Martina Bucková Analýza pôvodu polobožského kultúrneho hrdinu Māuiho v polynézskej mytológii Resumé Kultúrny hrdina Māui je fenomén, ktorý sa objavuje takmer vo všetkých mytologických systémoch Polynézie. Pozoruhodný je jeho pôvod, ktorý je zvyčajne sčasti božský a sčasti ľudský. Príspevok analyzuje rôzne varianty polynézskych mýtov a zameriava sa najmä na informácie týkajúce sa jeho pôvodu, okolností narodenia, varianty mien rodičov a súrodencov. Abstract The cultural hero Māui is a phenomenon that occurs in nearly all the mytholo- gical systems of Polynesia. His origin is remarkable and is mostly partly divine and partly human. This paper analyses different variants of the Polynesian myths about Māui, espe- cially focusing on his origin, the circumstances of his birth and variants of his parents’ names and siblings. Keywords Polynesia, Mythology · Māui, Analysis of Variants in the Tradition A trickster or culture hero is a mythical being found in the mythologies of many archaic societies. In some mythologies, the culture hero is given a divine origin; in others he is a demigod or only a spirit that acts on the command of a higher deity. Prometheus, for example, was of a purely divine origin. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, he was the son of Iapetus and the Oceanid Clymene. Māui of Polynesia is an example of a culture hero who was present in most versions of myths of semi-divine origin: in Maori mythology he came from the 156 SOS 13 · 2 (2014) lineage of Tu-mata-uenga, and in Hawaiian mythology his mother was the goddess Hina-a-he-ahi (‘Hina of the fire’).

City Manager Henry Graper said he does not plan to replace Berry, but will instead go to a “ police commander” method where supervisory responsiblities will fall to the new police commander, while administration, financial and negoti­ ation responsiblities will be shifted to other city departments. The elimination of Berry’s position will result'in a cost savings, Graper said. Berry’s salary and fringe benefits, cost $53,057 he said, and a $30,000 annual credit will be given to the township. • Graper said contract concessions from the.
