Whomever, or in some cases, whatever, the answer might have been, chances were excellent that it wasn't 100 percent human.

Oceania Primitive Religions Totemism, Maori, Ancestors Totemism: In Australia, there were 270 languages when the europeans arrived; their religion is said to be totemic. "Totemism" involves a relationship between a person or group and a natural object specially united with the gods. For example, a "mountain" is where the gods dwell, and that "mountain" is the totem of a group; a "monkey" is united with a god, and a person or group honors that monkey to honor an influence that god. Some their totemic groups are kangaroo, honey- ant, sun. rain... In South Australia, talk about a "male" Supreme Being, who now lives in the sky, but once walked upon the Earth. In the North, instead of this All- Father, we find Earth as Mother of all The Rainbow Snake is widely represented in the mythology, sometimes as male, sometimes as female... it is their totem. The sacred rites are practiced by the older men and medicine men... they established the "circumcision" for boys and girls, also practiced in Africa, and among the Jews. In their rituals, with many dances, a potent ingredient is human blood obtained from the veins of a man, or its substitute, red ochre.

Other Mythologies Throughout the world, there are a wide range of mythological systems. Many different cultures have a hierarchy of deities similar to those of "established" mythos. Even the fundamental myths share the same framework; that of mortal judgment and moral rectitude. Fascinating comparisons between myths of different cultures can be found in the multivolume Mythology of All Races In addition, the mythologies of North and South America are well represented through such works as Warriors, Gods, and Spirits , the Dictionary of Native American Mythology South American Mythology , and North American Indian Mythology , just to name a few good sources. . The exploration of the fascinating tribal deities of Australia and Oceania can be found in Oceanic Mythology and Australian Religions , which concentrate on the island mythological systems from Polynesia to the myths of the Aborigines. The equally fascinating Voices of the First Day is another look at the religious ethos of the tribal Australians Information on these and many other tribal mythologies can be found on the Internet.

Home Biographies Comparative Essays Change Over Time Essays ... FAQs Pre-historic to Pre-modern Times Much has been said about a possible link between South American peoples and Oceania. However, the evidence is against it. Genetically, the Polynesians show no connection to any South American peoples. The presence of the sweet potato (native to the Americas) throughout Oceania, as well as the stone statues and walls on Easter Island, suggest that perhaps some Polynesians reached South America and brought back goods and ideas with them. But the settlers of the Oceania islands were definitely not South American in origin. In the 1500s, the first Europeans reached the Oceania area. Magellan Lastly, there were European settlers. These traveled mainly to the larger and richer islands, establishing plantations for products like cocoanuts and sugar. Their reception varied greatly from island to island: some natives resisted European incursion heatedly, while others accepted foreign dominance with little resistance. By and large, the Europeans were successful, though, and by the end of the 19th century many islands were economically dependent on their possessor nation: having specialized their economies to provide export products. Due to its remoteness and the relatively small number of its inhabitants, the Oceania area played second fiddle to other colonies in the foreign relations policies of the European powers. For example, England was primarily interested in the Suez Canal (completed in 1869) because it shortened the route to India, although the Canal also greatly shortened the route to Oceania. As another example, the main issue which brought the United States and Spain to war in 1898 was Cuba, in the Caribbean, but the Spanish-American war also significantly changed the political balance of power in the South Pacific, where the United States took possession of the Philippines from Spain.

Dragon Media RPG/ Forum Enter Nepta Site Extras About Sommerland Award Program Links/ Webrings Privacy ... Contact Dragons of Oceania Introduction/ Overview Bunyip Polynesian Dragons Rainbow Serpent ... References Introduction/ Overview: Of the dragon world, the dragons of Oceania are the ancestral, ancient forefathers of contemporary folklore in their region. While their international cousins (linked by modern classifications only) have morphed and adapted into specialised hunters and Imperial masters, the Oceanic dragons have remained somewhat stagnant, retaining their initial primitive physical form for eons; a rebellious feat that defies the very concept of time. It is this which makes the dragons of Oceania remarkable in their ancient form and rather invaluable, for by looking at the dragons of Oceania we are staring directly into the heart of the dragon. The Oceanic dragons share curious similarities and represent the initial serpent (or worm) which refused to be eroded away by the waters of time. It is highly important to note that they are not explicitly dragons; while they can correctly be classed as such, they are still largely snake-like and thus can be classified as both (though they do not completely belong to either group). However, despite this dual-parentage, they are a cornerstone for studying dragons, as they give a very good image of the primal serpent from which dragons of other cultures were derived- something which has largely been been blurred over the years in other parts of the world.

59. Australasia And Oceania Throughout oceania people have traditionally identified with a particular locale, mythology and stories about cultural heroes kept these concepts alive. http://www.sociologyesoscience.com/asia/australasia_oceania.html

Micronesia covers the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Marshall Islands, and other island nations in the Pacific; Melanesia includes Fiji, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Papua and Vanuatu. Polynesia consists of New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Easter Island, French Polynesia, Samoa, Tonga, Hawaii, and other islands. Located in the northern tip of this Oceanic region, the indigenous peoples of Taiwan such as Puyuma and other ethnic minorities are also included in this section, as they speak Austronesian tongues related to other Oceanic languages. Except for the languages of various peoples in New Guinea, Australia, and other nearby regions, the peoples of this vast Pacific region have a common Austronesian linguistic origin, although the variants number over a thousand. Australasia and Oceanic lands are covered by variety of terrain, such as tropical rain forests, deserts, delta plains, flat grasslands, and mangrove swamps. High humidity, hot temperatures, and severe weather are characteristics of this region. Moreover, malaria and land erosion are two major concerns of the people of some of these islands. Some members of these Pacific peoples are wage laborers in an urban environment, but the principal economic activities are subsistence farming and fishing. Many of them are good gardeners and grow breadfruit, taro, coconuts, bananas, yams, sweet potatoes, and other crops as the main staples, in addition to raising pigs for ceremonial reasons. Some ethnic groups are hunters and gatherers in remote regions. Their societies vary from small-scale bands and tribal groups of egalitarian social structure to chiefdoms, all existing today within various nation states.

you are here home Oceania Australia History ... Early European Exploration History, Early European Exploration Although Australia was not known to the Western world, it did exist in late medieval European logic and mythology: A great Southland, or Terra Australis, was thought necessary to balance the weight of the northern landmasses of Europe and Asia. Terra Australis often appeared on early European maps as a large, globe-shaped mass in about its correct location, although Europeans recorded no actual discoveries until much later. Indeed, the European exploration of Australia took more than three centuries to complete; thus, what is often considered the oldest continent, geologically, was the last to be discovered and colonized by Europeans. deeper links Portuguese and Spanish Sailings Dutch Interest British Expeditions and Claims search this website :: site map privacy legal
