The aim of this collaborative research project has been to document the skills, and relationships, to conduct oral history interviews in several locations across the Province. These experiences of Papua New Guineans in what is now Oro Province (also known as Northern Province), included the beachhead sites of Gona, Buna and Sanananda, as well as Oro Bay, the Central Kaiva area, during the Second World War. Particularly, the project has sought to highlight the voices, experiences, and Awala up towards Kokoda. This project did not focus specifically on the Kokoda Track, as this was and memories of Oro women. The history of the Second World War in Papua New Guinea (PNG) has the focus of the 2015 pilot study of the PNG Oral History Project. In total, we recorded 24 oral history overwhelmingly been written from the perspective of the Australian, American and Japanese forces. interviews. Of these, 14 were with women interviewees. In other instances, male interviewees have offered Papua New Guinean experiences of the War are notably absent from the history books and, amongst these, insight into the experiences of both men and women during the war. Some of the interviewees were alive the experiences of Papua New Guinean women are even less well known. Those wartime narratives that during the war and spoke about their own experience. In other instances, interviewees recounted the do include references to Papua New Guineans—narratives of the ‘Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels’, for instance—tell stories told to them by their mothers, fathers, or grandparents. Together, these interviews paint a picture us little about the impact of the war on women, or about the roles women played during the war. Likewise, of a difficult and transformative time. For women, the hardships of war included periods spent hiding and Papua New Guinean women are almost entirely absent from the public memorials and museums that living in the bush, difficulties finding food and caring for children and other family members, the risk or tell the story of the War in Oro Province—including the Kokoda War Museum, and the War Memorial in experience of sexual assault, and the sadness felt for those injured, dead, or missing. Popondetta. Yet the beachhead battles, and the fighting along the Kokoda Track and in other parts of Oro Province, took place in people’s gardens, homes, and villages. Women and men, young children and old As with all the of projects that have taken place as part of the national PNG Oral History Project, the oral people were all affected by the conflict, and their stories should be recorded and remembered. history interviews that have been recorded for Women Remember the War are being made freely and publically available. The stories contained in this book, and recorded elsewhere as part of the PNG Oral Women Remember the War was run by a collaborative research team that included Dr Victoria Stead History Project, are important ones. They have been kept alive in people’s memories, and in many cases from Deakin University, Melbourne, and local researchers Mrs Margaret Embahe and Mrs Mavis Manuda passed down to children and grandchildren. Now, more than 75 years after the war arrived on the shores Tongia. Women Remember the War was part of the PNG Oral History Project, which was been overseen of Buna, Gona and Sanananda, our hope is that the interview recordings, transcripts, and photographs by Dr Jonathan Ritchie, from Deakin University, with colleagues from the PNG National Museum and Art of those who shared their stories with us will form a valuable resource for generations of Papua New Gallery, and with teams of Papua New Guinean and Australian researchers working in multiple locations Guineans and others into the future. across PNG. In addition to Oro, oral history interviews have been collected in Milne Bay, Rabaul, Tabar Island, Morobe, and Central Province. In each case, the project has emphasized the importance of having Victoria Stead, Margaret Embahe, and Mavis Manuda Tongia Papua New Guinean researchers in central roles, and the Papua New Guinean researchers have conducted most of the interviews themselves throughout the PNG Oral History Project. 5 6 Tenkyu tru We extend our sincere respect and gratitude to all of the interviewees and communities who generously shared their time and stories with us, in Buna, New Buna, Gona, Sanananda, Beama (Oro Bay), Popondetta, Hohorita, Pusahambo, and Awala. We also acknowledge the very important contributions made by several key advisors and contributors to the project, including Mr Maclaren Hiari, an esteemed local historian who has conducted meticulous research throughout the Province for many years, documenting oral histories about the war as well as all aspects of Oro history. We also thank Dr Jonathan Ritchie for his leadership and tireless work on the PNG Oral History Project, and Professor John Waiko who has also been a valued historical advisor and colleague. Several local people have also played important roles in facilitating our research, including Lomas Mongagi in Sanananda, and Steven Keura in New Buna village. Others have contributed as drivers, security, transcribers and babysitters, including Drida Punia and Bray Punia, Carl Tongia, Mike Gaie, Dr Bob Kevin, Lilias IMAGES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Klapat, and Narrelle Embahe. Tenkyu! 1. There are very few historical photographs showing Papuan or New Guinean women during the Second World War. This image, from Mendaropu, shows a woman and young child waiting during the sale of fruits and vegetables to troops of the 128th Regiment, 32nd United States division. The effects of the war on Papuan women, and the roles that women played during the war, have often been neglected in the historical record. 2.

  • 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.

  • Austronesian Paths and Journeys
    AUSTRONESIAN PATHS AND JOURNEYS AUSTRONESIAN PATHS AND JOURNEYS EDITED BY JAMES J. FOX TO THE MEMORY OF MARSHALL D. SAHLINS We would like to dedicate this volume to the memory of Marshall Sahlins who was a brilliantly productive and remarkably insightful ‘Austronesianist’. His Social Stratification in Polynesia was an early, important and provocative comparative study (1958); his Moala: Culture and Nature on a Fijian Island (1962) was a major ethnographic monograph of lasting value; and his Islands of History (1985) was an interpretive analysis that gave global significance to events in the history of the Pacific. His influence was profound on both students and colleagues. We have all learned much from him and his work.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

Lifting images from mechanical files is strictly prohibited. To see the complete version, please contact Nina Ventura, Publicist: [email protected] THE GANGS OF MORESBY They’d left him for dead. KGK gang members had watched Allan Omara leave the Islander Travelodge hotel after a few too many drinks. Outside there was a verbal exchange, then someone lunged at him with a knife and he was left to bleed in the nearby bushes, a 40 cm gash in his side. The year was 1979, when Omara was something of a rookie raskol earning his spurs on the streets of the Papua New Guinean capital, Port Moresby. Post-independence euphoria was starting to ebb; the gangs had not only become more professional in their criminal operations, but had begun fighting each other over turf. It all started to get serious in the late 1970s, after independence, when gangs got organised and the cops got armed, remembers Andy Amex, a veteran of Moresby’s gang scene, as we sit inside one of the Kips Kaboni gang safe houses in the Kaugere settlement. He adjusts his waist-length dreadlocks, now grey, and looks thoughtful for a moment. Luckily we saved Allan that day, but he lost a rib and his spleen. Kaboni was the top gang back then and still is, he smiles proudly and glances over at Omara, who is fiddling with the spring mechanism on a homemade pistol.
