Pacific News member of French Polynesia About the Country People and Lifestyle Tahiti is a multi-racial mix of Polynesians of Maohi (Maori) extraction, Europeans, Asians and mixed races. A handsome people, they are noted for their hospitality, friendliness and easy going nature. They speak French and Tahitian which are the two official languages, but English is spoken in the hotels and shops. History Hundreds of years after the ancient Polynesians created a Pacific base for their huge voyaging canoes, explorers like Mendana, Quiros, Le Maire, Schouten, Roggeveen and Byron made brief unplanned visits to the Tuamotu Atolls and the Marquesas Islands in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. Later in the 18th century explorers such as Bougainville, Wallis, Vancouver and Cook 'discovered' Tahiti and called it the 'Garden of Eden'. Captain Cook returned three times to study the transition of Venus, Captain Bligh came to collect seedlings from the wondrous 'Uru' or breadfruit tree and the insubordinate Fletcher Christian returned to the islands that caused the mutiny on the Bounty. Before the arrival of the Europeans, the islands were divided into districts, each governed by a Chief. When Pomare V abdicated in 1880 the islands, previously a protectorate of France, became a French Colony, and in 1957 French Polynesia became a French Overseas Territory.

Pivotal events during this period are the three voyages of the English explorer James Cook between 1768 and 1780. During these voyages, Cook not only encounters many Polynesian peoples and cultures for the first time but makes the first large-scale collections of Pacific objects to be brought back to Europe. Collections made by Cook in Hawai'i, Tahiti , Tonga, Easter Island , and the Austral, Cook, and Marquesas Islands show that the classical Polynesian artistic traditions were already flourishing throughout the region. Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen lands on Easter Island and publishes the first description of its monumental stone sculptures . He later visits the Tuamotus and Samoa. English explorer Samuel Wallis is the first European to visit Tahiti French explorer Louis-Antoine de Bougainville visits Tahiti, the Tuamotus, and Samoa.

Encompasses present-day Tonga, Independent Samoa, American Samoa, Fiji, French Polynesia, Hawai'i, Wallis and Futuna, and the Cook Islands See also Southeast Asia Australia Melanesia , and Micronesia During the nineteenth century, European and American cultural and political influences continue to spread throughout the widely separated islands of Polynesia. In the early 1800s, European explorers The latter part of the nineteenth century is marked by the increasing political control of the individual regions of Polynesia by European and American colonial powers. In the 1840s, the British and Maori sign the Treaty of Waitangi, establishing British law in New Zealand, and France begins to lay claim to Tahiti and other parts of present-day French Polynesia. During the 1870s and 1880s, the British annex Fiji and the Cook Islands, while Tahiti is formally ceded to France and Easter Island to Chile. Backed by U.S. Marines, a group of American businessmen depose the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 and the United States and Germany divide the islands of Samoa between them in 1899. By 1900, Tonga remains the only substantial independent political entity in Polynesia. The tumultuous events of the nineteenth century have profound effects on Polynesian art. The conversion of Polynesian peoples to Christianity results in the destruction of much of Polynesia's rich sculptural heritage, which missionaries and recent converts condemn as "idols." A substantial number of the surviving Polynesian images are, ironically, collected by the missionaries themselves and sent back to Europe or America as evidence of their spiritual achievements. Others are acquired by explorers, colonists, and sailors and eventually make their way into Western museums and private collections. While the sculptural traditions associated with Polynesia's indigenous religions decline or cease altogether, many more secular artistic traditions continue. These include important women's art forms such as bark cloth and elaborately plaited mats as well as men's art forms such as the carving of headrests, food pounders, and bowls.

History Just how the Polynesian peoples came to populate their islands of the Pacific is a subject of some debate. What is clear, however, is that they were great sailors and navigators who traversed vast distances of open ocean to settle as far and wide as present-day French Polynesia, Hawaii, New Zealand, parts of the New Guinea island, Tonga and the Cook Islands. It's thought that they left southeast Asia around 3000 or 4000 years ago and began to arrive in present-day French Polynesia around 300 AD. Islands were originally ruled by chieftains who commanded huge fleets of outrigger canoes; religious practices at this time included human sacrifices. Some of the first European visitors, among them Samuel Wallis (1767), Louis-Antoine de Bougainville (1768) and James Cook (1769), returned with stories of a paradise on earth inhabited by 'noble savages' and Venus-like women whose sexual favours were freely offered to the visitors. Europe was abuzz with stories of a tropical haven of free love after Bougainville returned to Paris, and this myth attracted the likes of Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson and Paul Gauguin. The most famous event in the region's recent history was the mutiny on the Bounty . It was on Tahiti and the Austral island of Tubuai that Fletcher Christian and his mutineers sought refuge after setting William Bligh and his faithful crew members adrift in a tiny open boat near the Tongan islands on 28 April 1789. And, ultimately, it was on Tahiti that the long arm of British law rounded up those mutineers who hadn't escaped to Pitcairn Island, and made them face British justice.
