Nukufetau Overview With 11 000 inhabitants Tuvalu is one of the worlds smallest independent nations. This group of 9 atolls total only 25 square km in land but 1,3 Mio sq km incl. water area with an extension of 500 Miles from North to South. Only a few hundred visitors see Tuvalo in a year and nearly all of them go to the main island of Vunafuti. The outer islands see nearly no visitors at all and are perhaps the most isolated islands in the Pacific. The islands are very idyllic and time seems to stand still. 5 islands of Tuvalu are real atolls with many islets and a central lagoon while 4 islands are single table-reef islands. In total Tuvalu consists out of 129 small islets. Only Nukufetau and Funafuti have deep passes so that ships can enter. Climate Tuvalu has a warm and pleasant climate year round. The temperatures are in the high 20th. There is nearly every second day a heavy rain shower followed by sunny skies and most of the times there is a constant easterly trade wind. Tuvalu is still in the hurricane zone and between November and March there can be strong westerly wind. The water temperature in the logons is in the high 20th degree C. People The people are Polynesians and they live in traditional style houses. All 9 islands are inhabited and have mostly 2 small villages each. People live in the traditional style and speak an own language, which is similar to that of the neighbouring islands of Tokelau and Wallis and Futuna.

More of Matthieu Paley's photographs of Tuvalu appear in the print issue of Orion magazine. Click Here to receive a Free Trial copy of the current issue WARM WATER takes up more space than cold water does. That simple fact of physics, utterly inexorable, is one of the two or three most important pieces of information humans will have to grapple with in this century. And the people who get to grapple with it first are in places like Tuvalu, where suddenly the spring high tides are washing across the island of Funafuti, eroding foundations and salt-poisoning crops in the fields. Tuvalu is the canary in the miner's cage, and instead of choking it's drowning. Tuvaluans have begun to work out plans for evacuating the population over the course of the next decades as the sea rises. The warmer water, of course, is a product of steadily increasing global temperature, just like melting permafrost, shrinking glaciers, and increased evaporation over deserts. And the global temperature rises because we burn oil and coal and gas, which inexorably produce as a byproduct of their combustion carbon dioxide carbon with two oxygen atoms, a molecular structure that traps heat that would otherwise radiate back out to space. When I say "we," of course, I don't mean

Tuvalu has an estimated population of 9,500. Tuvalu is vulnerable to both cyclones and the effects of rising sea levels. The atolls of Tuvalu generally have poor soils that support only coconuts, breadfruit, pandanus, slow maturing taro and a few other vegetables and tree crops. Most people are involved in subsistence agriculture and fishing, and two thirds of the formal workforce are employed by the government. Tuvalu gains income from the Tuvalu Trust Fund, fishing licences, commercialisation of the "dot tv" web domain address, remittances from Tuvaluan sailors employed on overseas ships, as well as from development assistance Tuvalu has strong community organisation, a tradition of reciprocity and a culture of sharing, and good access to subsistence resources.

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.

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 Coming of Age in Samoa , becomes an anthropological classic. Polynesian art and culture, however, endure. Artists continue to practice a variety of art forms for their own use, including the production of bark cloth and mats as well as the creation of nonfigural wood carvings such as bowls and headrests. What figurative sculpture is produced during the first half of the century, however, is almost universally made for sale. In the decades after World War II, as part of the larger global movement toward decolonization, parts of Polynesia achieve independence, including Western Samoa, Fiji, the Cook Islands, and Tuvalu. Others, such as the Austral, Tuamotu, Marquesas, and Society Islands, as well as American Samoa, remain under the authority of other nations or, as in the case of Hawai'i, become formally incorporated into them. Beginning in the 1970s, many Polynesian peoples, particularly Hawaiians and Maori who live among the majority settler populations of their original homelands, become increasingly active in asserting their cultural identity and seeking greater political autonomy. The same period witnesses a wider renaissance of Polynesian culture and art across the entire region. Some artists devote themselves to rejuvenating or reviving indigenous traditions such as wood carving and the making of bark cloth. Others use Western materials and techniques, integrating them into their own artistic and cultural traditions to create distinctively Polynesian forms of contemporary art.

TUVALU Statement by His Excellency Mr. Enele S Sopoaga Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Tuvalu to the United Nations Chair of the Tuvalu Delegation at the General Debate of the Fifty-Sixth Session of the United Nations General Assembly Friday 16th November 2001 (Check Against Delivery) Mr. President I thank you for the honor of addressing the General Assembly. Speaking on behalf of the people and government of Tuvalu, I extend Tuvalu's greetings to the Fifty-Sixth Session, and our congratulations to you and Co-Chairs of the General Assembly, on your election. I also pledge Tuvalu's full support and cooperation during your term of office. As we come to the end of this General Debate, we are still overshadowed by the loss of many innocent lives and property from the barbarous terrorist attack on America. Since early this week, we are further saddened yet again by the losses from the plane mishap in our host state, NY and our host country, America. Tuvalu therefore joins others to renew to the people and Government of America our own strong condemnation of the terrorist attack, and to pledge our strongest solidarity behind the USA. Let me also convey Tuvalu's deepest sorrow and sympathy to the families of the victims of the plane crash, and offer our prayers to the people and government of America, and equally to the people and government of the Dominican Republic. We wholly share their bereavement and grief.

Return East Asia and Pacific List AUTHOR: U.S. Department of State TITLE: Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, 2000: Tuvalu SOURCE: U.S. Department of State TEXT: Tuvalu Tuvalu, with a population of approximately 10,000 primarily Polynesian persons, occupies a land area of a little more than 10 square miles on 9 atolls in the central South Pacific. Independent since 1978, its Constitution provides for a Westminster-style parliamentary democracy. The Head of State is the British Queen, represented by the Governor General, who must be a Tuvaluan citizen. The judiciary is independent. A 32-member police constabulary, the only security force, is responsible to and effectively controlled by civilian authority. The primarily subsistence economy relies mainly on coconuts, taro, and fishing. With donor assistance, Tuvalu has developed a well-managed trust fund, which is supplemented by significant annual payments for use of its international telephone-dialing prefix. An agreement for use of the country's Internet address is expected to increase national revenues significantly. Remittances from Tuvaluans working abroad as well as the sale of postage stamps and of fishing licenses to foreign vessels provide additional foreign exchange. The country's isolation and meager natural resources limit the prospects for economic development. The Government generally respected the human rights of its citizens, and society is generally egalitarian; however, social behavior, as determined by custom and tradition, is considered as important as the law, is ensured by village elders, and leads to some discrimination. In the traditional culture of the islands, women occupy a subordinate role, with limits on their job opportunities.

-ƒcƒoƒ‹Žñ‘Š‚©‚ç‚̉ž‰‡ƒƒbƒZ[ƒW- GOVERNMENT OF TUVALU PRIME MINISTER 19 January 2004. Mr. Shuuichi Endou Tokyo, Japan. Dear Endou San, I would like to highly commend you for your efforts in promoting and publicising Tuvalu in Japan especially the environmental vulnerability including the natural pristine beauty of our environment and the unique culture of Tuvalu. Your further initiative of high lighting Tuvalu as Eco-Tour destination, through the first ever Japanese tour group that you brought with you last year should be encouraged as one of the appropriate means of ensuring that Tuvalu's unique culture including the beauty and fragility of its environment can be appreciated by others, in a manner that will not impact adversely on Tuvalu in the longer term. I wish therefore to take this opportunity to express the full support of and the appreciation of the Government of Tuvalu for your pioneering efforts. I would also like to encourage you to actively promote Tuvalu in Japan and elsewhere as an Eco-Tour destination and of course we look forward to having more Eco-Tours coming to our beautiful shores in the near future. I wish you every success in your endeavours.
