But the launching of a 23-foot outrigger in Majuro late last year was special because it was the first canoe to be built by Waan Aelon in Majol (WAM — Canoes of the Marshall Islands), a program that has graduated from its original phase in the early 1990s of documenting traditional canoe designs to actual building and training programs for Marshall Islands youth. WAM trainees are now working on another mid-sized outrigger, known as “tipñol”, with plans for a larger, 30 foot “walap” (voyaging canoe). WAM evolved from an earlier initiative of the Alele Museum, which set out to document all major canoe designs in the country — before they were lost. The documentation program, which started in the late 1980s and was headed by American boat builder Dennis Alessio, produced detailed written materials, photographs and video tapes that show how a half a dozen different styles of outriggers are built in the Marshalls, forever preserving this art on which Marshall Islands culture is heavily based.

Pacific Service Region Republic of the Marshall Islands The Republic of the Marshall Islands PDF (1.79M) is available online and contains data and analysis in the areas of health, education, labor and employment, tourism, agriculture, and more. Culture The Marshallese culture is matrilineal. Women have always had great influence and power. The traditional roles of women are still recognized and respected even if their function no longer exists or has been changed over time. Politeness is a part of the Marshallese custom. Children are taught at a young age to respect their elders. The deep sense of respect for elders has made it common practice not to talk back, especially when being scolded for doing wrong. The children learn at a very early age to keep quiet when an older person is talking. Language English and Marshallese are the official languages, but for the most part, English is the language of the elite and the educated. English is the language of instruction at the secondary level while Marshallese is dominant in the elementary grades. The two chains of islands in the Marshalls, the Ratak and the Ralik, both have variations in terminology and pronunciation. However, the people of all the atolls understand the general language. Useful greetings are provided with English translations and phonetic pronunciations on colorful

REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS Republic of the Marshall Islands Web Forum These beautiful islands are a collection of 1,225 islands and islets of which only five are single islands. The rest are grouped into 29 coral atolls which together make up more than one-tenth of all the atolls in the world resembling strings of pearls in a blue ocean backdrop. It is no wonder they are referred to as the 'Pearl of the Pacific'. They lie in two parallel chains known as sunrise and sunset (Ratak and Ralik) and in true atoll form, they are narrow and low and encircle large central lagoons. All the islands have glorious white sandy beaches, tall palms and are lapped by crystal clear waters. Click on the above map for a detailed map Of the 29 atolls, 27 are accessible by small plane (Air Marshall Islands). Majuro and Kwajalein atolls, the two population centres are serviced by both Air Marshall Islands and Continental Air Micronesia Jet Aircraft. There are also regular flights to Guam, Hawaii and Fiji. A Marshall Islands postcard created and made available by David and Nancy Huskins.

About us Send me a Brochure Tripbuilder (Shopping Cart) Send me a Quotation ... Pacific News member of Micronesia (Marshall Islands) History The first Micronesian navigators arrived in the Marshall Islands sometime between 500 and 2000 BC. Little is known of their origin or culture. The Marshalls were never united under a single leader, though one chief often controlled several atolls and at times an entire chain. Before the arrival of Europeans, the individual chiefs held absolute authority over their lands, and - living on such narrow stretches of land - their claims to their parcels were often hotly contested. The 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas ceded ownership of all of Micronesia to Spain. The Marshalls, however, were off the main trade routes and consequently received little attention from early European explorers. In 1525, Alonso de Salazar of Spain became the first European to sight the islands, but Spain did nothing to colonize them. After another 200 years devoid of Europeans, the islands received a visit from English captain John Marshall (from whom they later took their name) in 1788. Russian explorer Otto von Kotzebue came through in the early 1800s and drew the first detailed maps of the islands. Traders and whalers began to visit the islands en masse in the early 1800s, until encounters with the 'friendly' native Marshallese began to turn sour. Ship after ship putting into port at various atolls in the Marshalls quickly weighed anchor after the death of their captain or crew members. Violence was on the decline when the first Protestant missionaries arrived in 1857, setting up churches and schools and gradually undermining the traditional authority of the island chiefs.

Geological formation Pacific colonization Marshall Islands colonization Marshallese culture ... Colonial history GEOLOGICAL FORMATION The Marshall Islands first emerged 70 million years ago when volcanic cores erupted at presently extinct hotspots south of the equator. Around 40 million years ago, while the Pacific plate continued to move in a northwesterly direction, the volcanoes began to subside. The islands were initially high, volcanic islands, but over the course of the ensuing 40 million years, they slowly sank back into the ocean from which they came, propelled by their own weight. Microscopic organisms called polyps, which thrive in warm waters with high salinity, salvaged the remaining rim of what was once a volcano to the extend that, with botanical seeds transported by birds and ocean currents, 3,000 years ago small islets had taken form on the reefs, capable of sustaining life. These islets formed circular rings encircling sheltered lagoons, namely our beautiful atolls we today can share with visitors. PACIFIC COLONIZATION The predominant theory on the colonization of the Pacific postulates that the initial settlers moved out of Southeast Asia, notably Southeast China and Formosa approximately 5,000 years ago. Over hundreds of years, and with successive advancements in maritime and agricultural technology, migration progressed southeastward along the northern coast of what is now New Guinea, then southeast into what are now the Melanesian island groups of Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia, and sometime between 2,000 to 3,000 years ago, into the Central Pacific: Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and probably Eastern Micronesia. According to linguists, the migrants who first moved out of Southeast Asia spoke in the Austronesian language family and today, nearly all languages in the Pacific are categorized as Austronesian. Over the last several decades, successive developments in different fields such as archaeology, linguistics and biology have shaped, strengthened and won general consensus on this theory.
