Manus Province Reefs (80Km) M & Circular © Lonely Planet Publications 209 Island Provinces How do you say Romancing the Stone in Tok Pisin? Largely untamed and raw, the islands of PNG are not your classic beach paradise. Here you’ll live out your Indiana Jones fantasies, blazing a trail of your own amid wild jungles. The adventure starts by climbing the volcanoes near ISLAND PROVINCES Rabaul, looking for WWII relics on the Gazelle Peninsula, staying in villages on New Ireland’s east coast, paddling through lagoons mottled with pristine reefs near Kavieng, exploring the rugged beauty of Bougainville or escaping to an island off Lavongai (New Hanover). Be ready for a culture shock, too. These islands are home to tiny villages where people lead lives that have changed little over centuries. Nowhere else in the Pacific (except, maybe, in Vanuatu or the Solomon Islands) will the local cultures sweep you off your feet – just be sure to brush up on your Melanesian etiquette before you go. If you plan a visit in July, try to make it coincide with the authentic Warwagira Festival of masked dance. The islands’ bounty goes beneath the surface, with its unbeatable repertoire of diving ad- ventures. Shipwrecks, fish life in abundance and thriving reefs are the rewards of diving here. Surfies rave about the uncrowded waves off New Ireland (but you didn’t hear it from us). And then, once you’ve run out of stamina, opt for the trusted combination of a fruit cocktail, a hammock and a good book – you’ve earned it. HIGHLIGHTS Squeezing yourself into a wetsuit to explore underwater treasures, scuba diving among the world’s most fecund reefs in Kimbe Bay ( p59 ) or plunging into the wreck-strewn waters of Simpson Harbour ( p219 ) Scaling up extinct Kombiu (Mt Mother, p223 ) and feasting your eyes on the 360 degree views of Rabaul, Gazelle Peninsula and Mt Tavurvur Lavongai (New Hanover) Relaxing with a book and a fresh coconut on New Ireland's a blow-your-mind beach off Lavongai (New west coast Simpson Harbour; Kokopo Hanover; p234 ) and getting a taste of outer Kombiu island lifestyle Kimbe Bay Earning your intrepid stripes in Bougainville Bougainville ( p243 ), especially if you continue as an ‘end- of-the-road’ traveller with a trip to more remote places nearby Reflecting on New Britain’s turbulent WWII occupation when you visit the East New Britain Historical & Cultural Centre ( p214 ) in Kokopo Experiencing timeless traditional village life on New Ireland’s west coast ( p237 ), staying in homestays and watching the ancient art of shark calling POPULATION: 523,000 AREA : 28,450 SQ KM 210 ISLAND PROVINCES lonelyplanet.com lonelyplanet.com ISLAND PROVINCES 211 0 100 km ISLAND PROVINCES 0 60 miles Mussau I North Solomons Province KILINAILAU (651m) Tulun Nai ST MATTHIAS GROUP Nuguria (Fead) (CARTERET) GROUP Group (100km) Lagoon Palakau Eloaua I Tench I Emirau I TAKUU Lemankoa MANUS Buka I (MORTLOCK) IS PROVINCE B P A C I F I C O C E A N Lontis Lorengau i Hanahan s m Tong I a Gagan 0 50 km Y s a b e l 0 30 miles Pak I r Lonohan HORNOS IS C h a n n e l c Tunung I Tsoi Boto k Mt Bei (498m) Hutjena Island Buka Buka Passage Rambutyo I Tsoi Bangatang I Kokopau ISLAND PROVINCES Island Sohano I Lenkau Naigasa Matanasoi Tinputz New Taiof I Siara Cape L'Averdy NORTH Cape Matanalem Sulaman I SOLOMONS Lou I See Manus Province (960m) Taskul NEW Umbukul Kavieng Emperor PROVINCE Enlargement Putput IRELAND Ranges Turumbal Lavongai TABAR IS (New Hanover) I (Nono) PROVINCE Inus Point Mangai Simberi I Kunua Meteran Panamafei Selapiu I Lokono Tatau I Bougainville Wuvulu I (Ninigo Group);

NUMBER 1707 FEBRUARY 1 9, 1955 Notes on the Birds of Northern Melanesia. 31 Passeres BY ERNST MAYR The present paper continues the revisions of birds from northern Melanesia and is devoted to the Order Passeres. The literature on the birds of this area is excessively scattered, and one of the functions of this review paper is to provide bibliographic references to recent litera- ture of the various species, in order to make it more readily available to new students. Another object of this paper, as of the previous install- ments of this series, is to indicate intraspecific trends of geographic varia- tion in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands and to state for each species from where it colonized northern Melanesia. Such in- formation is recorded in preparation of an eventual zoogeographic and evolutionary analysis of the bird fauna of the area. For those who are interested in specific islands, the following re- gional bibliography (covering only the more recent literature) may be of interest: BISMARCK ARCHIPELAGO Reichenow, 1899, Mitt.

  • What I Did and What I Saw
    NEW GUINEA WHAT I DID AND WHAT I SAW Barry Craig, 2018 [email protected] Photos copyright B. Craig unless otherwise attributed I guess I was destined to be a walker from an early age ̶ I may have got that from my father. Boot camp, c.1941 Martin Place, Sydney, c.1941 Because my father fought at Sattelberg in the hills west of Finschhafen in 1943, I became fascinated by New Guinea and read avidly. After studying anthropology at the University of Sydney I went to PNG as an Education Officer in 1962. I asked to be posted to Telefomin. Languages of Central New Guinea I lived at Telefomin 1962-65. In 1963-64, Bryan Cranstone, British Museum, was based at Tifalmin west of Telefomin to research and collect items of material culture. His method of documenting things that he collected drew my attention to the house boards and shields of the region. He became my mentor. I was fortunate to witness the last of the male initiation ceremonies – dakasalban candidates with sponsor at left, otban at right. In 1964, I collected about 320 items of material culture for the Australian Museum, supported with photographs, and began a survey of all house boards and shields in the wider region, extended in 1967. This resulted in a Masters Thesis in 1969 and a booklet in 1988. At Bolovip, the board photographed by Champion in 1926 (left) was still there in 1967 (top right) but had been discarded by 1981.

  • Peter G. Sack Land Between Two Laws
    This book penetrates the facade Peter G. Sack Land Between of colonial law to consider European land acquisitions Two Laws in the context of a complex historical process. Its context is land, but it is fundamentally a legal study of the problems arising out of the dichotomy between traditional New Early European Land Guinea law and imposed Prussian law. Though these Acquisitions in New Guinea problems arose out of events that took place more than fifty years ago, they are of immediate relevance for New Guinea in the 1970s. They are mostly still unsolved and are only now emerging from under the layers of po­ litical compromise that have concealed them. Dr Sack emphasises the differences between tra­ ditional and introduced law in New Guinea in order to in ­ vestigate the chances of a synthesis between them. He offers no panacea, but points up clearly the tasks which must be accomplished before the 'land between two laws' can become a truly indepen­ dent state. This is an essential work for anthropologists, lawyers and all those con­ cerned with the emergence of a stable, unified Papua New Guinea. This book penetrates the facade Peter G.

  • 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

    PACIFIC STUDIES Vol. 9, No. 3 July 1986 ETHNOGRAPHY OF ONTONG JAVA AND TASMAN ISLANDS WITH REMARKS RE: THE MARQUEEN AND ABGARRIS ISLANDS by R. Parkinson Translated by Rose S. Hartmann, M.D. Introduced and Annotated by Richard Feinberg Kent State University INTRODUCTION The Polynesian outliers for years have held a special place in Oceanic studies. They have figured prominently in discussions of Polynesian set- tlement from Thilenius (1902), Churchill (1911), and Rivers (1914) to Bayard (1976) and Kirch and Yen (1982). Scattered strategically through territory generally regarded as either Melanesian or Microne- sian, they illustrate to varying degrees a merging of elements from the three great Oceanic culture areas—thus potentially illuminating pro- cesses of cultural diffusion. And as small bits of land, remote from urban and administrative centers, they have only relatively recently experienced the sustained European contact that many decades earlier wreaked havoc with most islands of the “Polynesian Triangle.” The last of these characteristics has made the outliers particularly attractive to scholars interested in glimpsing Polynesian cultures and societies that have been but minimally influenced by Western ideas and Pacific Studies, Vol. 9, No. 3—July 1986 1 2 Pacific Studies, Vol. 9, No. 3—July 1986 accoutrements. For example, Tikopia and Anuta in the eastern Solo- mons are exceptional in having maintained their traditional social structures, including their hereditary chieftainships, almost entirely intact. And Papua New Guinea’s three Polynesian outliers—Nukuria, Nukumanu, and Takuu—may be the only Polynesian islands that still systematically prohibit Christian missionary activities while proudly maintaining important elements of their old religions.
