Abstract:

Tikopia Island, a small and relatively isolated Polynesian Outlier in the Southeast Solomon Islands, supports a remarkably dense human population with minimal external support. Examining long-term trends in human land use on Tikopia through archaeological datasets spanning nearly 3000 years presents an opportunity to investigate pathways to long-term sustainability in a tropical island setting. Here, we trace nutrient dynamics across Tikopia’s three pre-European contact phases (Kiki, Sinapupu, Tuakamali) via stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis of commensal Pacific rat (Rattus exulans) and domestic pig (Sus scrofa) bone and tooth dentine collagen. Our results show a decline in δ15N values from the Kiki (c. 800 BC-AD 100) to Sinapupu (c. AD 100–1200) phases, consistent with long-term commensal isotope trends observed on other Polynesian islands. However, increased δ15N coupled with lower δ13C values in the Tuakamali Phase (c. AD 1200–1800) point to a later nutrient rejuvenation, likely tied to dramatic transformations in agriculture and land use at the Sinapupu-Tuakamali transition. This study offers new, quantifiable evidence for deep-time land and resource management decisions on Tikopia and subsequent impacts on island nutrient status and long-term sustainability.

Abstract:

This thesis concentrates on the Kwara'ae people of a peri-urban settlement named Gilbert Camp. Originally from Malaita (hom), they migrate and settle in Honiara, capital city of Solomon Islands. They articulate their condition in relation to two sets of value oppositions. The first opposes hom as their primitive, isolated, and hopeless province of origin; and Honiara as the modern, all-promising, all-fulfilling arrival city. The second juxtaposes hom as the epitome of unity, cooperation, and sameness, where life is easy; and Honiara as the place where diversity, competition, and separation reign, and life is hard. The Kwara'ae people leave hom and settle in Honiara because they value what lacks in the former and can be found in the latter. But in Honiara they despise some of the things they must confront, and miss what they can have at hom but not in Honiara. For these reasons, they repeatedly declare, "Honiara is hard" (Honiara hemi had). However, rather than interpreting their statements about life in town as the symptom of a negative evaluation, I try to capture the extent to which the Kwara'ae people of Gilbert Camp value their urban life in a positive way. The starkest illustration of their commitment to town life is in their daily efforts to deal with the tensions over the meaning and use of their values in the urban context. I analyse these tensions, challenges, and negotiations in a series of ethnographically grounded case studies. In a peri-urban village of a shrinking Pacific economy where there is a general disproportion between income and mouths to feed, a tension between the priorities of kinship and the need to make ends meet is almost inevitable. Secondly, the confusion surrounding the issue of land causes tensions concerning how land must be dealt with. There is also a tension between customary and state law, and between historical and recent forms of Christianity. Kwara'ae people use their creativity and cultural knowledge to find viable solutions to these tensions, which I argue is an illustration of how much they try to live according to their values on the outskirts of Honiara. It follows that the statement "Honiara is hard" indicates the measure of their efforts, of how intensely they want to live in Honiara according to their values, rather than the measure of how much they want to go back hom. This interpretation has important implications for the anthropology of urban Melanesia. Previous urban ethnographies in Solomon Islands emphasised the reproduction of hom values, rather than the creation of a new hom through the manipulation of contemporary cultural logics. Although the former approach coheres with negative evaluations of the urban context, it does not account for why people leave a place where life is "easy", and settle in a place where it is "hard". In contrast, an approach emphasising the hom-making process inherent in daily value negotiations reveals the contingent, unpredictable, and contested construction of the sense of homeliness with which Kwara'ae people are turning Gilbert Camp into their new hom.

Abstract:

Prologue A day at the museum. A play in 3 acts Act One: Discussing the exhibition. Museum Worker: So, tell me more about your exhibition proposal Guest Curator: As a gay Aboriginal artist, I'm interested in Aboriginality and homosexuality. Museum Worker. How are you thinking of using the collections in this project? Guest Curator: I've seen the collections and I think there are some really fantastic artworks here. I've got a list of the ones I want to use. Museum Worker: Yes, I have the list. I sent a copy to the Aboriginal Heritage Officer; who has come along today. He always works on projects concerning the Aboriginal collections. You do realize that many of the items you're interested in don't have information with them. We generally don't display objects with no information, unless this is a particular focus of your exhibition? Guest Curator: No, not particularly. I liked the look of those objects, but I can choose others. Aboriginal Museum Worker: I see that you have a ''phallic looking club" on this list. As an Aboriginal person, I have spent many years visiting Aboriginal communities in this state. This object will present a problem. We will have to seek permission to use it. Guest Curator: But I am Aboriginal And I'm an artist. Act 2. Repatriation requests. Museum Worker: I had two repatriation requests this week. The first from the great- grandson of a European missionary, who collected temple objects from India at the turn of the century. He thinks that his great-grandfather did the wrong thing, and feels responsible. He wants the objects to go back to India. The second was from a business man wanting to set up operations in an outback town. He feels his business plans will go more smoothly if he facilitates the return of an item to the Aboriginal people of the area. He rang to find out our repatriation procedure. Act 3. Media Opportunity Media Officer. They want to do something on museum collections, particularly the primitive stuff. Can you do an interview? Museum Worker: What exactly are they interested in? Media Officer: Oh anything really it's just a fill in case there's no news. They're keen for a photo. How about that place you keep all the weapons and spears. Can you pose as if you were about to throw one? Museum Worker: Media Officer: Museum Worker: No. This is a great publicity opportunity. Only if they report on preservation of cultural heritage, the international standard of our storage facilities, the number of research and public inquiries and visitors we handle, and they don't use the words primitive, treasures, buried, forgotten, dusty or basements. • Media Officer: Ok. By the way, can someone show 20 overseas tourists the Aboriginal galleries and collections. We want to develop a cultural tourism program, in conjunction with eco-tours run by other departments.

Abstract:

Speaking Suffering: A Post-Colonial Analysis of Why the Solomon Islands Truth and Reconciliation Commission Failed to 'Touch the Heart of the People' Between 2008 and 2012, the Solomon Islands Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) collected the testimonies of individuals who had suffered, or taken part in, acts of violence during the period of conflict known as the 'ethnic tensions'. Based upon the recently completed work of the South African TRC, the Commission had been advocated for by local faith-based organisations as a "moral body, a principled approach", that would provide an alternative to state-led reconciliation initiatives. And yet, during my fieldwork in the Solomon Islands, I was consistently told that the TRC had "failed to touch the heart of the people" - this thesis seeks to provide an explanation as to why that was. As a transitional justice model, the TRC grounded its analysis of conflict-related violence in the internationally normative human rights discourse: violence was categorised and analysed according to international legal definitions of crimes against humanity, and those who testified were afforded human rights 'victim' and 'perpetrator' subjectivities. Yet human rights remains a highly contested ideology in the Solomon Islands. Drawing on post-colonial theory, this thesis argues that for most Solomon Islanders, the moral-political ideology of human rights can claim to command neither moral nor political authority. I suggest that the particular 'vercularisation' of the human rights discourse that developed in post-conflict Solomon Islands, is both heavily gendered, and threatens to present a depoliticised version of rights that reinforces gendered power hierarchies. The thesis considers the TRC as being a point of contact at what Merry has termed the 'global-local interface', and claims that the popular reception of the TRC - including the power dynamics and moral dilemmas ignited by this encounter - must be read in the light of the long history of interactions between Solomon Islanders and outsiders.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the role of People First Network (PFnet) services in enhancing information and communication and contributing to sustainable rural development and poverty reduction in Solomon Islands. More specifically, it examines two main issues. First, it examines the uptake and appropriation of PFnet services by rural Solomon Islanders. Second, it examines the impact of PFnet services on sustainable rural development and poverty reduction in Solomon Islands. This chapter is based on a empirical research conducted in Solomon Islands between January-May 2004. The chapter is organised as follows: Section one provides an overview of PFnet Project. Section two states the main aims of the study. Section three outlines the methodology used for the research. The Section four reports the main research findings. Section five discusses some problems and finally section six provides the conclusion.

Abstract:

Abstract The large island variously known to the outside world (the insiders had no name for it) as New Guinea (its coast and people apparently like those of Guinea in Africa) or Papua (the land of the fuzzy-haired people) has held a fascination for Europeans for over three hundred years. In the past hundred years or more-see, for example, reference to the Papuan Mission in Trollope (1861)-there has been continuous and slowly progressive contact between the outside world and the people of the large island as well as the inhabitants of the many other smaller islands of Melanesia; the people of the smaller islands include the Solomon Islanders, whose black skin gave the name to the region and the Melanesian people who inhabit it.

Abstract:

The region of Oceania describes a collection of islands scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean between Asia and the Americas. The region is vast and largely covered by ocean. There are four subregions of this region including Australasia (Australia and New Zealand), Melanesia (Papua and New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia), Micronesia (Federated States of Micronesia and Guam), and Polynesia (includes French Polynesia, Samoa, Tonga, Tokalau, and Niue). Australasia is relatively affluent and developed with an ageing population, whereas the other nations are of a developing nature with relatively younger populations but will face dramatic population ageing over the next 40 years. Australasia has well-developed services for older people. The Indigenous populations of Australasia have worse health outcomes than the non-Indigenous populations. However, outside Australasia there is an urgent need to develop health and community services for older people in the remainder of the region.

Abstract:

PFnet in the Solomon Islands is the first attempt to introduce rural e-mail stations in remote rural villages in isolated islands. It was established in 2001 under an UNDP-UNOPS project and was initially partly funded by UNDP. Since then the major funding has come from Japan, NZODA, Britain, Republic of China, AusAid and European Union (Leeming, 2003a). It is managed by the Rural Development Volunteer Association (RDVA), a registered NGO. PFnet has an Internet Café (head office) in Honiara, the capital city and operates a network hub with fourteen rural e-mail stations linked by HF (short-wave) radios with e-mails typed in a laptop and powered by solar energy (Stork, Leeming, and Biliki, 2003). PFnet provides for the information and communication needs of the rural people. It is a source of information (e.g., providing news, Internet access), source of communication (sending and receiving e-mails), and provider of typing, secretarial, and printing services. PFnet has been a success story in improving the information and communication needs of the rural people (Leeming, 2003b).

Abstract:

It is one of the great ironies of history—equine and human—that the continent on which the horse was born was also the continent on which it died out. For after more than 40 million years, sometime between 12,000 and 7,600 years ago, the last truly wild horse in North America was no more. And yet, as it turned out, that animal’s last breath marked not an end, but only a hiatus, one that ended when Columbus—on his second trans-Atlantic voyage—brought horses to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. This chapter therefore looks at four interrelated questions: the initial arrival of people in the Americas over 13,000 years ago; the variety of horses that they encountered there; how far their interactions with those horses contributed to the latter’s extinction; and how the horse returned to North America following Columbus’s voyage. When, where, and how people first arrived in the Americas remain some of archaeology’s most hotly contested topics, but we do know that horses were there to welcome them. Before considering how these two different mammals—the bipedal newcomer and the quadrupedal native—interacted, we need to answer the questions with which this paragraph began. Almost certainly humans entered the Americas from Siberia: early settlers in the western Pacific reached no further east than the Solomon Islands, while arguments that eastern North America was reached from Europe by Upper Palaeolithic hunters moving by boat and across ice around the North Atlantic fly in the face of both technology and chronology. But if the ancestors of Native Americans did indeed arrive in the New World from Asia (something that all genetic analyses of both modern and ancient populations confirm), when and how did they do so? Until recently the archaeological consensus—especially among Anglophone scholars in North America—was that this occurred around 13,000 years ago and was effected by people taking advantage of the globally depressed sea levels of the Last Ice Age to cross the Bering Straits when they formed part of a much broader landmass, Beringia.

Abstract:

Papua New Guinea lies just north of Australia (Fig. 1). It is a developing island nation, with 462,839 km of land area, a population of 3.9 million people, and vast natural resources (Compton’s Interactive Encyclopedia, 1996). It is the largest island in the Oceania region of the world, which also includes Fiji, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Most of these islands share similar resources, and prudent development of the resources requires utilization of nondestructive evaluation (NDE). NDE provides the means for flaw detection and size assessment, as well as evaluation of material degradation such as corrosion and hydrogen attack. These are factors which affect the service life of components and systems. Being aware of the state of degradation of these components and systems will enable cost effective maintenance, and reduce costly and dangerous failures. Recognizing the need for NDE expertise, the Papua New Guinea University of Technology at Lae has initiated a Center for Nondestructive Evaluation. Once operational, the center should serve the entire Oceania region, and provide resources, trained students and expertise that will enable the growth of the NDE industry within that area. It is widely accepted that NDE adds value to a product or process, not just cost. The amount of value is directly related to the engineering education of the personnel making NDE decisions. The growth of the NDE industry in these South Pacific Islands will add to the economy, as well as aid in the further creation of a population of engineers who are well educated in NDE.
