Pacific News member of Culture Gallery Introduction ANGLONESIA Anglonesia is a neologism used here to refer to Australia New Zealand and the United States in the Pacific (ANZUS). The progress from colonialism to independence in the Pacific Islands region (both north and south of the equator) has not brought an end to the influence of the former colonial powers. Presently, there are ten territories or dependencies linked directly to an extraregional government, and five others are constrained in their foreign policies by the terms of their free associaton compacts. Like these territories, the independent states are also affected by the political, security and economic policies of the extraregional powers. There continues to be an overlap of interests between outsiders and islanders, which is likely to persist even as more island stated begin to exert their influence more and more within the region as well as globally.

The islands are best known for being the home of the descendants of the Bounty mutineers and the Tahitians who accompanied them, an event retold in numerous books and films. This history is still apparent in the surnames of many of the islanders. With only about 50 inhabitants (from 9 families), Pitcairn is also famed for being the least populated country in the world (although it is not a sovereign nation ).

    DESTINATION PITCAIRN ISLANDS
    An unholy alliance of renegades from British justice and South Sea islanders from nearby Tahiti settled Pitcairn in 1790, but their ideal of founding a new community quickly soured as the men started wiping out each other's gene pools. Their descendants clung on, however, jumped into the Bible, procreated and went forth. Norfolk Island and New Zealand now have substantial numbers of Bounty descendants, and a small number still till the soil and go to Saturday church on Pitcairn. The island is not on any international air routes and getting there is strictly for the determined, but that can be precisely the attraction in a world increasingly at our fingertips. While facilities are limited on Pitcairn, you can drop in on your own yacht or from a passing cruiser and spend a day walking, talking to locals, swimming in St Paul's Pool, eating and checking out the points of interest, like ancient Polynesian rock carvings, the Bounty Bible, John Catch a Cow and Bitey Bitey (the local language is, as you may gather, a little quirky).

    Title: Mutiny on the Bounty Abstract: From the fact-based novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Hall. Nominated for seven Academy Awards and won Best Picture. Videocassette release of the 1935 motion picture by Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer. Renewed in 1962. A British warship sails from London to the south seas under the command of Captain Bligh, a perfect symbol of vicious naval discipline, accompanied by Fletcher Christian as his first officer. The crew, ex-convicts and men from the slums, mutiny and set Bligh and a small group of faithful followers adrift in a small boat to make their epic ocean crossing of thousands of miles. Upon returning to England, Bligh sets out in another boat to scour the seas for the mutineers. But after going to remote Pitcairn island Christian burns the Bounty so there will never be discovery of the survivors. UH MANOA USE ONLY. Call Number: VIDEOTAPE 637

    Background
    historical perspective. One need only mention the biogeographical implications of the discovery that nearly two-thirds of all Hawaiian land birds are known only from fossil records. Most islands of Polynesia were settled by A. D. 1000, and inter-island voyaging was a vital link sustaining small populations on isolated landfalls. More than a dozen ecologically-marginal islands found throughout the eastern Pacific have records of prehistoric settlement, but were abandoned by the time of European contact. These so-called "mystery islands" pushed the capabilities of Polynesian colonisation to its limits, and hence provide an excellent opportunity to examine the culmination of the settlement of the Pacific. Located near the margin of south-east Polynesia, Henderson island is the most pristine raised limestone island in the world, and has been nominated for inclusion on the World Heritage List, and placed on UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere Program and the "Islands for Science Convention". My archaeological study of Henderson island was part of the Pitcairn Islands Scientific Expedition, organised by Cambridge University, as an interdisciplinary study of the Pitcairn Islands. More than 20 scientists visited the island group over a period of 15 months from January, 1991 to March, 1992 with the objective of thoroughly recording the island's terrestrial and marine diversity. Few tropical Pacific islands have been examined in such inter-disciplinary detail and these studies provide the crucial baseline for documenting how humans have altered the island ecology over a 700 year occupation span.

The islands are known mostly because the original settlers were mutineers of HMAV Bounty, as well as Tahitians those mutineers took along, as described in the book Mutiny on the Bounty, later depicted in a number of movies. Also, it is the least populated country (though it is not sovereign) of the world with about 47 inhabitants (9 families).
    History and current events
    Although archaeologists assume that Polynesians lived on Pitcairn as late as the 15th century, the island was uninhabited when it was discovered by Spanish explorer Pedro Fernandez de Quiros. It was rediscovered by the British in 1767, and named after the crew member that first spotted the island.
    In 1790, the mutineers of Bounty and their Tahitian companions settled on the island and set fire to the Bounty. Several of the mutineers and Tahitians subsequently killed other mutineers and Tahitians. The island became a British colony in 1838. By the mid 1850s the Pitcairn community was outgrowing the island and they appealed to Queen Victoria for help. Queen Victoria offered them Norfolk Island and on 3 May 1856, the entire community of 193 people set sail for Norfolk Island on board the Morayshire. They arrived on 8 June after a miserable 5 week trip. However, after 18 months, 17 returned to Pitcairn and 5 years later another 27 returned.

    Jane Resture's Oceania Page was developed to present and highlight an extended range of material in conjunction with Jane's Oceania Home Page . In doing this, it will allow the visitor to readily access information about the Pacific Islands. As the sun rises over the vast expanse of Oceania, the daily lives of many of the people of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia (including the Polynesian nation of Hawai'i ) go on as they have for thousands of years. The fishermen are already at sea; the toddy cutters are already at work and the men and women are working in their gardens. The singing of traditional and contemporary songs can be heard all around from the early morning, until the evenings come alive right through until late at night. It is this love of traditional singing passed from generation to generation that binds many islanders together and forms the basis of much of island cultural heritage and in particular dancing. Both the songs and the dance are unique and their performance tells the stories of life and love in a manner that consumes both the dancers and the audience. The traditional life of the people of Oceania is basically uncomplicated. They are normally happy, highly intelligent, kind, generous and loving people who have inherited a culture that is ancient, complex, diverse, very functional and beautiful. Let us hope that through these Web pages, visitors will be able to enjoy our relaxed and happy lifestyle as well as our rich and complex cultural heritage.
