Kiribati Originally by Jonathan Willis-Richards This version edited by Mike Pearson Home Forum Search Contact Kiribati: Customs Ask a question or join in the discussion - Kiribati discussion forum Last updated on 20 November 2001 Summary General Maneaba House ... Fishing Summary The I-Kiribati are a warm, friendly and welcoming people. Visitors and those working in Kiribati are treated with the greatest of respect, Politeness and deference. On your part it is important to reciprocate this behaviour. It will be necessary to be sensitive to the values of the I-Kiribati culture. You may need to adjust the way that you might act and dress in order to avoid inadvertently giving offence. However, working and living in Kiribati offers an excellent opportunity to make a contribution to the development of the country, experience and learn about another culture and to reflect on your own. Efforts to learn and understand will be amply rewarded. In General Don't touch anyone on the head, especially on the top of the head, even cute kids. Don't cut across peoples' line of eye contact when they are talking - go behind, or if this is impossible and you are in a hurry duck down to pass, making sure you are below eye level. This probably doesn't apply to children.

Photo: Chris Johnson January 19, 2001 Abemama Real Audio Log Transcript This is Genevieve Johnson speaking to you from the Odyssey. Last night we anchored just outside the lagoon of Abemama, a beautiful pacific atoll in order to complete some minor maintenance work. Abemama is probably about as remote a place as one can get. It is one of the outer islands of the Gilbert Island group here in Kiribati. Setting foot on shore is akin to stepping back in time, it is a place little disturbed by outside influences. With no tourism here, outsiders rarely visit, and local tradition remains strong. Abemama is a chance to experience I-Kiribati culture as it was 200, 500 even 1000 years ago. 'Tioti' invited us into his maneaba to share stories on whales, the sea and making copra. Photo: Chris Johnson Log by Genevieve Johnson < Back Home Voice from the Sea What is the Voyage? ...

Meet the Crew The children screamed with delight as Odyssey cameraman, David Day, danced with one of the locals at a traditional Kiritimati ceremony. They rarely see foreigners, let alone foreigners dancing. Photo: Josh Jones October 16, 2000 Coming of Age Real Audio Log Transcript According to I-Kiribati culture, the first sign of womanhood is the onset of the menstrual cycle. For the family of any young girl, this is a time of joy and celebration. For the first 3 days of this transition into womanhood, the girl is housebound along with her Grandmother who will educate her in the ways of her new role as a housewife and mother. She must learn to cook, clean and weave, and is no longer permitted to spend time playing with friends. Nei detua was seated at a table in the center of the meeting house, where she was accompanied by a young boy. This is a symbol of her readiness for marriage and family. The boy chosen on such occasions may or may not be party to an arranged marriage. Nonetheless, tradition dictates that he must be the first born, as it is this child who will receive the bulk of his parents wealth, in turn ensuring he will be a successful provider for his new family. Receiving such an invitation allowed us a fascinating insight into a culture that in many ways has successfully managed to integrate the intrusions of the outside world into their oasis in the middle of the sea, while still maintaining much of their traditional lifestyle.

32. Maria Borovnik - PhD Research - Geography - University Of Canterbury Since kiribati culture is based on extended family systems which is common onPacific islands, international labour circulation must have a strong impact http://www.geog.canterbury.ac.nz/research/phd/mariab.shtml

Search Ph.D. Research Profile: Maria Borovnik Seafarers in Kiribati - Consequences of international labour circulation Supervisors: Dr. Doug Johnston Department of Geography Prof Eric Pawson Department of Geography Prof. Peter Hempenstall Department of History Seaman at home, fulfilling his daily duties - one of which is fishing for daily consumption Mobility, and people leading a mobile life are my main research interest. Originally from Cologne, Germany, I studied geography, anthropology and botany and completed a master thesis about fun-fairs (shows, carnivals) at the University of Cologne. Fieldwork included observations, open interviews and some network research techniques with families working on fun-fairs and conducting mobile life styles. I also conducted several questionnaire-based surveys with people attending fun-fairs. Having been introduced to families that had to cope with seasonal-circular mobility and were up to nine months "on the road" I became very curious about different forms of mobility, such as circulation and migration and the coping mechanisms of families. Seafarers work on a variety of vessels including German freighters and containerships, Japanese or Korean purse seiners and long line trailers. They leave families for up to two years to live almost continuously on ships. Seafarers cannot take their families to "settle down" abroad, they are permanently separate from their families. Furthermore, as employees of foreign companies they are not protected by their own legislation. Thus, they are vulnerable to exploitation. Families at home highly benefit from their remittances but have to cope without the young men, who are overseas and with little and in some cases with no means of communication.

Heather Jarvis: Hello and welcome to Carving Out - Development in the Pacific, I'm Heather Jarvis and over the next few months we'll be travelling one of the most culturally and geographically diverse regions of the world and talking to people about the challenges and opportunities facing Pacific Island communities. What kind of future do Pacific Islanders want, and how are they working to get there? What are some of the problems they face along the way? And what does the word development - actually mean to people in the Pacific? Montage Development itself is a pretty empty concept because it can mean anything to anybody who is asking it. I myself prefer to talk not in terms of development but in terms of a better quality of life. For me development is very much about people, what's happening to people. It's not about big buildings or big roads or impressive stadiums or whatever, but it's really about the quality of life of people.
