One Thousand One Papua New Guinean Nights
Description What Reviewers Have Said Sample Folktales References ... Purchase The book can be ordered from Masalai Press or from Amazon.com Wantok , the Pidgin English (Tok Pisin) newspaper of Papua New Guinea (PNG), has published a series of folk tales sent in by readers from around the country since 1972 . I have collected and edited these folk tales, and have translated them into English through 1997. I have indexed them by author, village original language , province, flora and fauna, and motif. There is also a list of folktale titles that I have translated into English. Rather than index culture group, which is not well-standardized in PNG, the name of the local language used in the village from which each story originates is indexed. The names for the language index are primarily based on Dutton (1973) Laycock (1973) Wurm (1975) Wurm (1976) ... Wurm and Hattori (1983) , and Z'graggen (1975) . Generally, only distinct languages are indexed, not dialects. The current count of languages in the index is 247. This represents 35% of Papua New Guinea's total language count (about 700, according to Wurm, 1985

One bunch of these Unitech characters, mostly engineers, had a kind of 4x4 jeep adventure club for exploring those tracks and villages which a tough vehicle could reach. I myself had a little Suzuki 4x4 truck, and this is the tale of a trip we made out through the Markham Valley to the village of Tawiane in the Snake River Valley. The Snake River Valley violently cleaves a mountain range, running back more or less northeast from Mumeng towards Lae, with Salamaua over the peaks to the east. An unsealed track winds inland from the little settlement of Mumeng, fording the Snake twice, and a tributary once before climbing up amongst the mountains. Mumeng was thus the jumping off point for our Unitech convoy into the untraveled reaches of the country. The exit was easy, but returning two days later, the ford closest to Mumeng, supported by a concrete spillway, had become quite submerged from heavy overnight rain.

    CRUZENEWS FROM TEAM KYRNOS IN SAMOA
    Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 1996 CRUZENEWS KYRNOS KIDS
    For all of you keeping track of the boys on the chart, you must be pretty happy we've made some miles lately. The boys have been very happy to have had fast downwind passages (never more than 3 days) and never once did any of them get sick!! SALTYDOG DEN
    We have left the quiet solitude of isolated atolls and islands for awhile and are now in Apia, Western Samoa (13 49'S,171 45'W) with 80 other close cruising boats! We are here for the 7th Pacific Arts Festival held every 4 years in different venues around the Pacific. More on the festival later but first a bit about or last stops. Suvarov or Suwarow as the Cook Islanders now call it was as good as the best of the Tuamotu Atolls we had seen despite the fact that there were 11 boats at anchor. The caretakers have just arrived. Margaret, Tom her fishing husband, Justin their 15 year old son adjusting to life without teenage distractions and Mark their 3 year old son who eased into the native lifestyle without a care. Justin did not like going in the water until Fred took him lobstering. Another boat gave him a mask and he was at home in the water. The sharks are reportedly aggressive in this atoll, however we snorkeled along side them without worry. Fred and 2 friends went spear fishing in the pass and even though the water was teaming with white tips and grey sharks, he still shot 4 fish. But the bucket sitting in the dinghy where he put the fish had a hole, so he thought he should drain the dinghy of fish blood. The greys started swarming the dinghy and his 2 fishing companions that were still in the water could not go back to the dinghy. After 5 minutes the greys moved on and the friends came aboard with a few words to say to Fred!

    Letter from them 21 January, 2003
    “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” Jer. 29:11 NOTE: Several recent updates are posted here. They are in reverse order, NEWEST to OLDEST. Sometimes to best follow the story you need to start with the last update and work up. I will try to index these if I find time. UPDATE 21 January: Hello, As a quick update we wanted to let you know what has happened this past weekend. First, on Friday our crates arrived from the states!!! Everything arrived in good condition. One crate was missing a pallet under it but no damage was done to the crate itself. We had a lot of fun going through our things. Delia enjoyed seeing her old and new toys. We don’t have everything put away yet but it shouldn’t take too much longer. It was nice to have sheets that fit the bed and a blanket (yes it gets cold at night sometimes). Keith has his tool box set up under the house in an enclosed area so he can get to them and Becky almost has her kitchen cleaned up and situated. The other thing we wanted to mention is that after checking the flight schedule we found another flight coming to Goroka on Monday instead of Wednesday. So we are here in Goroka a few days early but it was a lot cheaper than paying for a whole flight ourselves. This way we were able to fly with some other people and split the cost. We will be here about a week. After our appointment with the doctor on Friday we will be deciding where to have the baby. We still don’t know so we are hoping the baby will decide that for us. Next Monday Keith will be driving the car back to Madang with Lyle, the field chairman. We found out that another vehicle with 4WD is also heading that way so they will be able to travel together. It will be a lot safer for both parties.

      Geographic Range
      Australian Dendrolagus matschiei are found exclusively in the Huon Peninsula of Papau New Guinea and the nearby island of Umboi, where they were probably introduced by humans. Dendrolagu matschiei are the only tree kangaroo that inhabits this area. (Flannery 1995, Wilson 1993)
      Physical Characteristics
      Mass: 6 to 13 kg. Body Length: 55-63 cm Tail Length: 55-62 cm Tree kangaroos are similar in form to their ground dwelling relatives but have many adaptations specific to their arboreal existance. They have stocky bodies with forelimbs and hindlimbs closer in proportion than other macropods. Their tails are long and cylindrical rather than tapered and used for balancing. They have thick fur that grows in an opposite direction on their nape and back, enabling them to easily shed water when crouched in their typical position with head lower than shoulders. The female has a well-developed pouch with four mammae. Dendrolagus matschiei are chestnut to red brown with a bright yellow tail, belly, ear edges, and feet. Their faces are yellow and white. They often have a dark stripe down their back and a vortex of fur in the middle of their back. They have cushion-like pads on their feet covered with roughened skin, and some of their nails are curved.

    Diver comment Download article Jump to dive sites
    The diving of Papau New Guinea is in a world of its own; but equally wonderful are the sights that can be experienced up in the Highlands or along the Sepik River. The topography is stunning and the people simply unforgettable. The Huli are also known as the Wigmen, because of their custom of making wigs from human hair. As young men they enter what is known as the Bachelor House, an enclave off-limits to women, where they grow their hair with 'magic water' for about 18 months. The hair is then carefully cut and moulded into a wig. The tightly packed hair retains the shape into which it is moulded and into the wig are placed feathers, 'everlasting flowers' and other paraphernalia. Individuals compete with each other to make the most magnificent wig. The more wigs you have (for formal and casual wear), the greater your status. The Huli dress in both Western and their own traditional dress. The latter includes the laplap, a fan of leaves that is tied round the waist to cover the behind. When the leaves begin to wilt, they merely pluck more, make a new laplap and throw the old one away! You will also see people of all ages sticking ferns in their hair - for fun, apparently.

    The New York Times is running an article titled " America's For-Profit Secret Army " that describes the current state of American companies providing mercenaries and hired soldiers overseas. The article describes the pros of the situation, such as mercenaries being an instrumental in convincing the Bosnians to sign the Dayton peace accords; the article also describes the cons of the situation, such as when these companies trained Croatian soldiers that later conducted ethnic cleansing against the Serbians.

    ADVERTISEMENT The article goes into detail about how these companies are used to support American objectives overseas, such as supplementing troops in Yugoslavia; the article also describes when these companies act contrary to American interests, such as providing assistance to dictators in Africa against the wishes of the State Department. It's an interesting look at a market that is estimated to be valued at one hundred billion dollars, but manages to stay well under the radar of most American citizens and politicians.

    The Road to Ruin: US, Japanese Developers Zero In on Palau by Scott Radway US, Japanese developers zero in on Palau Uro Ikesakes started fishing in Airai Bay when he was a teen-ager, swimming side by side with his family and friends, spearing fish after fish from a bustling coral reef. Fishing in the bay was a way of life in the village. Things are different now, more than 50 years later, but not because he is any less of a fisherman. His aqua-blue bay, once home to a healthy coral reef, is now mud-red and home to almost nothing but algae. After a full day of fishing today, his cooler is maybe half full. "We don't fish there anymore," said the 68-year-old subsistence fisherman, his crow's-feet framing his wistful stare. His is an unusual story for Palau, a small Pacific island nation with a population of under 20,000, known the world over for its awing natural beauty and its abundance of fish. But his is a story some officials fear could become all too common if leaders don't plan well for the future. The cause of their alarm is a multimillion-dollar U.S. road project on the pristine island of Babeldaob that they say has brought Palau to a monumental environmental and cultural crossroad.

    Cyclone Zoe devasted Tikopia Island
    TIKOPIA ISLAND, Solomon Islands (Jan 8, 2003) For generations the Tikopia have learned to live with the devastating impact of cyclones, and have managed to find refuge on different parts of the island to minimize loss of life. But other practices, such as abortion and infanticide, are also believed to be an integral part of traditional Tikopia society, where survival hinged on the ability to control population growth. Dr Judith Macdonald, a lecturer in anthropology at New Zealand's Waikato University says the island is on the typhoon belt, or the cyclone belt, so every year they will deal with heavy winds, sometimes they will deal with cyclones every five or ten years. "But the techniques of leaving the seaside, leaving the houses and going up into the shelter of the mountains is something they have done for a very long time," said Macdonald. "So that that would have contributed to their survival." "People say the population went into caves, but there aren't enough caves for 1,500 odd people. There is a very large cave on the weather side of the island, but 30 or 40 could get in there. It's more like rocky overhangs, big rocks that stick out.
