Add URL Site Map Home Add URL ... Site map Return to Ouvea, New Caledonia " Ouvea is everything you'd expect in a South Pacific island. Twenty kilometers of unbroken white sands border the lagoon on the west side of the island and extend far out from shore to give the water a turquoise hue. The wide western lagoon, protected by a string of coral islands and a barrier reef, is the only of its kind in the Loyalties. On the ocean side are rocky cliffs, pounded by surf, but fine beaches may be found even here. At one point on this narrow atoll only 450 meters separates the two coasts. Traditional circular houses with pointed thatched roofs are still common in the villages ." Those words appeared in the 1985 edition of my South Pacific Handbook after a visit in 1983. Just over 20 years later I returned to Ouvea to discover that little had changed in this large French colony east of Australia. Most Ouveans still live in traditional thatched case (houses) and the beach is as dazzling as ever. On my first evening there, as I watched the red fireball set slowly across the lagoon, I felt a strong affinity with my previous visit. Yet something terrible had happened in my absence. On May 5, 1988, 300 French elite troops stormed a cave near Gossanah in northern Ouvea to rescue 16 gendarmes captured two weeks earlier by Melanesian freedom fighters.

New Honorary Consul of Japan in New Caledonia Mrs Marie-Jose Michel was invited to take on the position in recognition of her many years of engagement in Japan-New Caledonia relations. A teacher by profession, since 1979 she has been an active member of Amicale Japonaise (a Japan-friendship group) and has held the role of president from 1984. Having worked closely with Mr Nakagawa, Mrs Michel places great importance on strengthening friendship between Japan and New Caledonia that dates back more than a century, as well as strengthening ties between New Caledonian descendants of Japanese and Japanese residents in Noumea. To this end, Amicale Japonaise regularly welcomes sports teams, cultural groups and training vessels. There are some 6,000 descendants of Japanese living in New Caledonia. Mrs Michel herself is of French, Japanese and Melanesian descent and traces her Japanese heritage to both her maternal and paternal grandfathers who came to New Caledonia from Kumamoto in the early 1900s to work under contract in the nickel mines. Mrs Michel has organised significant opportunities for other people to reconnect with their own or their familyfs history. In 1992, she arranged a tour to New Caledonia for forty-six Japanese nationals aged from 55 to 92 years of age who lived or were born in New Caledonia prior to World War II. In 2003, another tour was organised enabling descendants of Japanese who were interned in Australian camps during WWII to trace their ancestorsf journeys.

In the case of New Caledonia, there is a long history of fishing for sea cucumbers, dating back to the 1840s (Conand 1990). The fishery is currently composed of mainly indigenous and artisanal fishers. The price offered to fishers for sea cucumbers varies from about USD 0.60 to 2.20 per kilo for whole, fresh animals. The increased fishing pressure for sea cucumbers in the Pacific is fuelled by the increasing wholesale price of first-grade product, such as well-prepared sandfish

Welcome Travelogues Begin trip Previous: Sydney, AU New Caledonia Capital: Noumea Area: 18 575 km² Population: 197 000 Currency: 1 US$ = 130 CFP 1998 data The first humans to get here, were skilled navigators that came from Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands around 1500 BC. Their distinctive culture was characterized by an elaborate pinhole incised pottery that was first discovered at the "Lapita" site near the town of Koné on the northwest coast of Grande Terre, the main island. Subsequent research has identified the presence of the Lapita culture on the coasts of New Guinea as early as 2000 B.C. Their forebears had migrated south from Asia through the Indonesian archipelago bringing with them at the Austronesian languages whose roots have been traced to Taiwan. Some interbred with the earlier Papuan populations but most of these remarkable navigators continued their eastward expansion to Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and beyond, giving rise to the Polynesian nations and also migrated north to populate Micronesia. New Caledonia was given its name in 1774 by James Cook because the terrain reminded him of Scotland that was called Caledonia by the Romans. The French explored it in 1793 but the first to settle there were Samoan Protestant missionaries in the south in 1841 and French Catholic missionaries in the north in 1843. The French took possession of the island in 1853 and used it as a penal colony until full-scale colonization began at the end of the 19th century. The indigenous "Kanaks" were given French citizenship in 1946.

HOT DEALS ABOUT FIJI ACCOMMODATION ACTIVITIES ... SEARCH ABOUT FIJI Entry Requirements Health Money Time Zones ... Other Useful Websites Pre-history The most remarkable aspect of Fijian pre-history is its antiquity. It is now known that people had reached the Fijian archipelago as early as 2000 years before the birth of Christ. Considering the fact that the Vikings, acknowledged as Europe's greatest sailors, didn't reach American until three thousand years later, or the fact that Columbus made his famous voyage only some five hundred years ago, the Fijian achievement must be seen as extraordinary. The question is, who were the first settlers. And the answer is that we don't know. There are some who are prepared to speculate and Dr Roger Green, Professor of Anthropology at Auckland University, in New Zealand is one of them. He calls this vast archipelago "Island of South East Asia". These migrants were relatively new, even though they were different from those of the people already living in the islands of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Hebrides (now Vanuatu) and New Caledonia. The first settlers were of Negrito stock with dark skin, woolly hair and other typical features. The newcomers were fairer, had straight or wavy black hair and we can assume were of many type stock. they would seem to have been good sailors and craftsmen and excellent potters who made a distinct type of ware we know as Lapita pottery after its initial discovery in New Caledonia. A picture emerges of these "Lapita" people. Sailors, adventurers, good navigators and consummate craftsmen. The trail of their pots, hooks, obsidian cutting tools and ornaments leads down from New Britain through some of the outer islands fringing the Solomons and Vanuatu, suggesting that perhaps they were not powerful enough to force settlements on the bigger islands which were already supporting large populations of people.

First, I would like to make some comments on the econo- mic system and the political role of the chief and the woman in the Kanak traditional society. I will then discuss the condition of exploitation in which the Kanak woman lives under the colonial and capitalist white Caledonian society. I will end by spelling out some ideas on what I consider to be the role of the Kanak woman in the struggle for national liberation and by posing some questions on the kind of strug- gle that we as women want to get involved in here.

Pacific Island Books Culture and Society Culture and Society Baudrillard West of the Dateline edited by Victoria Grace, Heather Worth and Laurence Simmons. ISBN 0864694377. Published by Dunmore Press. Recommended retail price $29.95. This book emerges from the first visit to New Zealand, in March 2001, of Jean Baudrillard, one of the most provocative and insightful philosophers and social critics of our age. Baudrillard never fails to push the limits of current debates, ideas and theories within academia and beyond. The title Baudrillard West of the Dateline is a provocation to orient our thinking towards the significance of this part of the world as a critical location from which Baudrillard scholars might propose a different view on the 'West' - the 'West' as suggestive of possible vectors of sociocultural transformations of importance to us now; the 'West' as Baudrillard goes 'East'. Soft cover, 271 pages. Published in 2003. Culture, Kastom and Tradition: Cultural Policy in Melanesia edited by Lamont Lindstrom and Geoffrey M. White. Recommended retail price $16, our price $15.

Based on work prepared for the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), and revised from A.L. Dahl, “Traditional environmental management in New Caledonia: a review of existing knowledge”, SPREP Topic Review 18, South Pacific Commission, Noumea, New Caledonia, 1985. CONTENTS Present state of knowledge Agriculture Fishing Hunting ... Conclusions While much has been written in general terms about indigenous peoples’ knowledge of and care for their environmental resources, only a few detailed case studies in widely scattered areas of the Pacific can be found in the literature. Outstanding among these are the work of Johannes ( ) on fishing in Palau, of Barrau ( ) on agriculture in New Caledonia, and of Spriggs ( ) on taro irrigation in Vanuatu. References to environmental knowledge elsewhere in the literature are dispersed and often anecdotal. At times, their environmental context and importance have not even been understood.
