The National Dance--The Wedding--Death of the Princess--War with Nakelo--The Lunatic--Evil Spirits--The Alarm--Strangling of a Woman at Bau. Dec. 24. Hearing that a national dance was to be performed this evening by Retova and a part of the Geer tribe, who have lately arrived at Bau from Mathuata, and being desirous of witnessing it, I repaired to Bau about noon, in company with Mr. J. Reese, an assistant printer in the employ of the mission at Vewa. We first called at the house of the king, and found all the household engaged in preparing for the nuptials of the king's daughter with Navinde, which was to take place on the following day. The bride elect was receiving presents from the people of her tribe, consisting of mats, native cloth, sweet scented oils, baskets, beads, paint, scissors, knives, and many other things which Feejeeans value. Several hundreds of mats and bales of cloth, testified to the lady's rank, and the liberality of her people. We then called at the house of Tunitonga to see the princess, my little namesake, who, I had been informed, was sick. We found her very ill; indeed, she was probably dying. Her nurse desired me to present some vermillion to paint the little body after death. Two whales' teeth were placed at the feet of the child. When a child of rank dies, it is the custom to strangle one or more of its nurses to accompany it to the spirit land, as all Feejeeans have a great horror of dying alone. The spirits of the whales' teeth go with their spirits, while the teeth themselves are buried with the bodies in the grave. When the souls arrive at the spirit land, the nurse throws the teeth at a big dog, or some huge animal that may be standing in their way, because, if they had nothing to frighten...

Download or read book Imperial Benevolence written by Jane Samson and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1998-07-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful analysis of British imperialism in the south Pacific explores the impulses behind British calls for the protection and "improvement" of islanders. From kingmaking projects in Hawaii, Tonga, and Fiji to the "antislavery" campaign against the labor trade in the Western pacific, the author examines the deeply subjective, cultural roots permeating Britons' attitudes toward Pacific Islanders. By teasing out the connections between those attitudes and the British humanitarian and antislavery movements, Imperial Benevolence reminds us that nineteenth-century Britain was engaged in a global campaign for "Christianization and Civilization."

Download or read book Native American Whalemen and the World written by Nancy Shoemaker and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-04-27 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century, nearly all Native American men living along the southern New England coast made their living traveling the world's oceans on whaleships. Many were career whalemen, spending twenty years or more at sea. Their labor invigorated economically depressed reservations with vital income and led to complex and surprising connections with other Indigenous peoples, from the islands of the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean. At home, aboard ship, or around the world, Native American seafarers found themselves in a variety of situations, each with distinct racial expectations about who was "Indian" and how "Indians" behaved. Treated by their white neighbors as degraded dependents incapable of taking care of themselves, Native New Englanders nevertheless rose to positions of command at sea. They thereby complicated myths of exploration and expansion that depicted cultural encounters as the meeting of two peoples, whites and Indians. Highlighting the shifting racial ideologies that shaped the lives of these whalemen, Nancy Shoemaker shows how the category of "Indian" was as fluid as the whalemen were mobile.

Download or read book Food and Gender in Fiji written by Sharyn Jones and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2009-08-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food and Gender in Fiji is an ethnoarchaeological investigation of the social relations surrounding foodways on the island of Nayau in Fiji. Writing from the perspective of an archaeologist, Jones answers questions raised by her archaeological research using original ethnographic data and material culture associated women and fishing, the intersection that forms the basis of the subsistence economy on Nayau. She focuses on food procurement on the reef, domestic activities surrounding foodways, and household spatial patterns to explore the meaning of food amongst the Lau Group of Fiji beyond the obvious nutritional and ecological spheres. Jones presents her findings alongside original archaeological data, demonstrating that it is possible to illuminate contemporary food-related social issues through historical homology and comparison with the lifeways of the Lauan people. Offering a comprehensive and rigorous example of ethnoarchaeology at work, this book has major implications for archaeological interpretations of foodways, gender, identity, and social organization in the Pacific Islands and beyond.
