The Pacific Islands The Pacific Islands The Pacific Islands is divided by the equator, the two halves being the North Pacific (Hawaii and the tiny Micronesian Islands including Guam, Palau and the Marshall Islands), and the South Pacific (including New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga and the Cook Island) with Kiribati straddling the equator. The North Pacific Islands, being north of the equator, has its summer between May and September whilst the South Pacific Islands has its summer between November and April when temperatures and humidity are higher resulting in more frequent and often heavy rainfall, except of course, for New Zealand, which is as too far south to be effected by intense heat. This map of the Pacific Ocean with an emphasis on the main tourist destinations gives an insight into why the region is considered by many to be paradise - remote and isolated islands we know little about. The three cultural divisions in the Pacific are Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia.

Kiribati COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: The Republic of Kiribati (pronounced kir-ree-bas) is an island group in the Western Pacific Ocean, consisting of an archipelago of some 30 low-lying coral atolls surrounded by extensive reefs with a total land area of 800 square kilometers. Kiribati gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1979. Kiribati has an elected President and a legislative assembly. The capital of Kiribati is Tarawa. Kiribati includes three administrative units, sixteen atolls of the former Gilbert Islands, eight atolls of the former Line Islands (including Christmas Island and Fanning Island), and eight atolls of the former Phoenix Islands. Kiribati has few natural resources, and its economy is very small. The islands are not self-sufficient in food. Tourist facilities are not widely available. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: A valid passport and visa are required. Visa requirements include one application form, two photos and a fee. There is no Embassy of Kiribati in the United States. For information on entry requirements, please contact the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Kiribati, Suite 503, 850 Richards Street, Honolulu, HI 96813, telephone (808) 529-7703; fax (808)521-8304.

Kiribati not only straddles the equator but was also until recently divided by the international dateline, leaving only three shared working days between the two time zones: Mondays east of the dateline were Sundays in the capital, and Fridays in the capital were Saturday in the Line and Phoenix Islands. In 1995 Kiribati re-arranged the dateline to bring all the islands into the same time zone, a move the Government claimed was expedient, but others cynically observed resulted in a global television focus on Kiribati’s millennium celebrations of the first sunrise in the 21st century. One of the world’s largest (in area) as well as lowest countries in the world, the Republic of Kiribati (pronounced Kir-i-bas) consists mostly of salt water and 33 low-lying densely populated atolls. Vulnerable to sea-level rise and climate change, its people live with poor sandy soil, brackish water, irregular transportation and isolation. It is a country that few are aware of and fewer still visit, with the exception of aid practitioners, Japanese telecommunications experts – and American fly fishers heading for Kiribati’s largest but most remote landmass: Christmas Island

new internationalist issue 218 - April 1991 Kiribati Kiribati is about as big as the United States in area. Its vast economic zone in the Pacific Ocean straddles both the Equator and the International Date Line. Yet it has a population of just 70,000 – the equivalent of an English country town. Kiribati's 33 islands stretch 3,900 kilometres from Banaba (Ocean Island) in the west, where in 1900 a British company acquired for £50 a year the rights to mine phosphate for 999 years, to Christmas Island in the east, where Britain tested nuclear weapons in the 1950s and the US in 1962. The sun is generally thought to have set on the British Empire long ago yet Kiribati’s independence from the UK came as recently as 1979. Until then it was part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands – and in fact the name Kiribati itself (pronounced ‘kiribas’) is a local corruption of the English name Gilberts. A third of the people – the I-Kiribati – live on Tarawa, the main atoll, best known internationally for one of the fiercest US landing assaults of the Second World War, against a strongly entrenched Japanese garrison in 1943. Tarawa today is headquarters of the Republic of Kiribati – but its people are braced against a different kind of assault from the ocean. The highest point of the atoll – which is 64 kms long but for the most part only 100 metres wide – is only two metres above sea level. So the I-Kiribati, having lived down the centuries with a lurking anxiety about hurricanes and tidal waves, now face the prospect of being submerged as a result of the Greenhouse Effect.

Site map Australian Society of Archivists 1999 Conference Archives in Kiribati Pat Jackson This paper is more an attempt to provide you with an overview of archives and recordkeeping in the developing country that is the Republic of Kiribati, rather than giving you any concrete answers to recordkeeping questions. By way of introduction to the oral culture of the Republic of Kiribati and to act as a metaphor for the effects of colonisation and decolonisation, I will take you on a journey of the imagination. So, please bear with me as I wander off into the land of purple prose. At first, the British civil servants welcomed Sir Hilary, for he was one of them, he had published books and he was titled. But he grew detached from them, and began to spend more and more time with a Gilbertese girl, Teretia and her family. The expatriate community was somewhat shocked when Sir Hilary, now renamed Tiiriralee by the Gilbertese people, married the young Teretia in a traditional ceremony and lived with her family in Bairiki, in a traditional Gilbertese house.

Write for us "Escape from materialism in Kiribati, Oceania" Then I found out about Kiribati ( correctly pronounced as “Kiri-bass”, they decided not to include an “s” in the alphabet, and “ti” substitutes for it.) Seventy-five thousand people living on twenty-one separate islands, not served by any major airline. Only the main island of Tarawa had any kind of a ex-patriot population, in fact one source suggested the entire “white” population to be 242 people! Now that sounded like it was enough “off the beaten path” for a real adventure! So exactly where is it that we are talking about, here, anyways? Well when I had to explain it to each friend before I left, I expressed it like this. “ Draw a straight line on the map between Brisbane and Hawaii, then go half way along the line, you will be in Kiribati.” When I referred to the country by it’s colonial name of Gilbert Islands, although it has been independent since 1979, many people nodded in recognition. “ And why would you want to go there?” was the common query.Well, why would you? Was I just a quirky traveller, collecting obscure stamps in my passport? It was much more calculated than that. So here is what I found in Kiribati, the 16 main populated atolls of which span a vertical line 4 degrees north to 4 degrees south of the equator. It is really best summarised by the quick note I e-mailed to my friends to let them know my latest adventure was over.

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.
