Pacific News member of Kiribati (Introduction) Kiribati is an unspoiled corner of Micronesia where sailing canoes are still the mode of sea transport. Located in the Central Pacific on the equator, the island group consists of 33 low lying coral atolls which are subdivided into three main groups known as the Gilbert, the Phoenix and the Line Islands. Today these islands and 30 others are known as the independent Republic of Kiribati with Tarawa as its capital.

Pacific News member of Kiribati About the Country The island nation of Kiribati consists of 33 low-lying coral reefs and atolls , about 20 Approximate of which are permanently inhabited. Its total land area measures around 811 square kilometres (around 313 square miles). Islanders, called I-Kiribati, are predominantly of Micronesian origin. Tourists seek out Kiribati for its unspoiled charm, seemingly endless reefs , flats, and lagoons , and for the opportunity to view seabirds and marine life in a lush, tropical setting. More a sprinkling of far flung coral atolls than dry land, more deep blue ocean than sandy beach, more coconut trees than people, more Catholic church than ancient island beliefs. Kiribati (pronounced kee-ree-bus ) is far away, hard to get to, untouristed and deeply religious. It is also blessed with myriad reefs, billions of gaudy fish swarming over the coral, and host to plenty of WWII wrecks. The atolls are scattered over the equator so the weather is dependably warm, though often tempered by cool breezes off the sea. Tarawa, Kiribati's capital, may not be the Venice of the Pacific, but you do have to negotiate the main sights by causeway and inter-island boat. While modernity is rearing its ugly head, locals still welcome travellers as rarely seen curios. Although there's not much organised activity, it's not hard to find diving and game fishing in most places. And idyllic beaches are never far from anywhere if you want to escape with a book or a diving mask.

Most of the land is only one metre above sea level. This very remote country does not suffer from cyclones or typhoons, but is extremely vulnerable to climate change and rising sea levels. There is little extreme poverty as most households are supported by gardening, fishing, carpentry and handicraft making. Poverty of opportunity however is a significant challenge in Kiribati. With little paid employment available, one person often financially supports a large family network. Half of the 100,000 people who live in Kiribati reside on part of Tarawa atoll where rapid urban population growth is placing significant pressure on the fragile environment and limited resource base.

Extractions: See also Australia Melanesia Polynesia , and Southeast Asia The twentieth century represents a tumultuous period of cultural, political, and artistic upheaval for the peoples of Micronesia. In 1900, Germany controls the vast majority of the region, including the Marshall, Caroline, and Northern Mariana Islands as well as Belau and Nauru. Britain holds a protectorate over Kiribati, which later becomes a formal colony, while the United States has political authority over Guam. The presence of larger numbers of Westerners and the continuing activities of Christian missionaries have an increasingly profound impact on many Micronesian cultural and artistic traditions Of all the cultural regions of the Pacific, Micronesia is the most severely impacted by World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Allied and Japanese forces fight many of the major battles of the Pacific campaign on Micronesian islands. These include Tarawa in Kiribati, Chuuk (then known as Truk) in the Caroline Islands, Peleliu in Belau, and Saipan in the Mariana Islands. In 1945, the aircraft Enola Gay takes off from Tinian in the Marianas to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. After the Allied victory, control of Japan's Micronesian possessions is transferred to the United States, which administers them as a Trust Territory. In 1946, the U.S. begins the first in a series of nuclear weapons tests in the Marshall Islands when it detonates an atomic bomb on Bikini Atoll. The testing program ends in 1958.
Extractions: See also Australia Melanesia Polynesia , and Southeast Asia Although the Spanish colonize Guam and the other Mariana Islands in the 1500s and briefly visit other Micronesian islands, it is not until the nineteenth century that the more remote archipelagos of Micronesia are completely explored. As is the case in Polynesia, the islands of Micronesia are eventually charted through the combined efforts of official exploring expeditions and the chance discoveries of whalers and other commercial vessels. Along with steel tools and other aspects of Western technology, European and American sailors introduce diseases such as smallpox, which decimate the populations of many Micronesian islands. During the 1850s and 1860s, European traders establish outposts on a number of Micronesian islands, including Yap, Kiribati, and the Marshall Islands, and the first Christian missionaries begin to arrive. In one case, an American sailor, David O'Keefe, who is shipwrecked on Yap in the Caroline Islands in 1871, plays a significant role in perpetuating one Micronesian artistic tradition . Over the next thirty years, in exchange for copra (dried coconut meat), a valuable trade commodity, O'Keefe uses a Chinese junk to assist the Yapese in transporting their enormous stone money disks, which they quarry in the neighboring archipelago of Belau. The largest examples of Yapese stone money, some up to 4 meters across, are brought to the island during the "O'Keefe" period.

Print this page Annual Report Manila, regional delegation (Australia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Western Samoa and the other island territories of the Pacific) The regional delegation in Manila changed its structure somewhat in 1996 with the addition of a part-time ICRC representative for the Pacific, based in Fiji. The newly appointed representative was active primarily in promoting knowledge of and compliance with international humanitarian law across the region, thus leaving the Manila-based regional delegate more time to concentrate on the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand. Like all ICRC delegations, the Manila delegation worked to promote adherence to the various instruments of international humanitarian law by the States within its region. In June, Palau acceded to the four Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols. In July, the Philippines ratified the 1980 UN Weapons Convention and three of its four Protocols.

Extractions: Publications Fellow, Institute of Pacific Studies, University of the South Pacific, presented at 1997 Waigani Seminar I analyse book publishing in five phases, which have overlapped. None of these phases has ended or is likely to end. These phases are publishing by religious organizations, colonial governments, independent governments, transnational agencies (regional and international governmental and non-governmental organizations), and individuals and firms. Religious organizations Member of the London Missionary Society began publishing in the Society Islands in 1817; the first publication was a spelling book. Soon afterward, publishing by the LMS and other religious orders occurred in other islands: 1822 in Hawaii; 1831 in Tonga; 1834 in the Cook Islands; 1837 in the Gambier Islands; 1839 in Fiji; 1844 in Wallis; 1848 in Vanuatu; 1852 in the Loyalty Islands; 1854 in New Caledonia; 1856 in the Caroline Islands; 1860 in the Marshall Islands and 1863 in the Gilbert Islands (Lingenfelter 1967). Many church histories contain references to their publishing activities. Because churches were involved not only in religious proselytizing but also, as importantly, in teaching literacy and numeracy, then later subject matter, they produced grammars, readers and textbooks. (Note above that the first publication was a spelling book). Contrary to what might be expected for early efforts among small, semi-literate populations, the print runs of these early books were quite large: e.g., from 1817 to 1822 Ellis printed 20,000 books (Lingenfelter 1967:24).

All Kiribati citizens age 18 and older are eligible to vote. Voters elect the president from a choice of three or four candidates, who are nominated by the legislature from among its members. The president, who may serve as many as three consecutive four-year terms, appoints the vice president and a cabinet of up to eight members from the legislature. Kiribati has a 41-member unicameral (single-chamber) legislature called the Maneaba ni Maungatabu (House of Assembly). Thirty-nine of its members are chosen by popular vote and serve for four-year terms. The attorney general and a representative nominated to represent Banaban people living on the island of Rabi in Fiji are also members of the legislature.

Its Micronesian inhabitants speak a language in which the letter 's' (which doesn't exist in their 13 letter alphabet) is written as 'ti'. This explains the difference between the spelling of Kiribati and the way it is pronounced.
