I TAHITI ๐ต๐ซ HEIVA'Sย
The History of Heiva
Music
and dance have always been a central part of ย Polynesian culture.
Tahitian dance, or "Ori Tahiti," is one of the most sophisticated and
ritualized art forms of all time. However, it was not always practiced
as freely in Tahiti as it is today. When European Protestant
missionaries arrived in the 19th century, they found such "erotic"
displays to be offensive and King Pomare II legally banned the tradition
in 1819. Thankfully, the Tahitian people found a way to keep dance
alive, practicing the ritual in secret and passing on the tradition in
anticipation for its revival.
After Tahiti was annexed by France in 1881,
the Heiva festival began to take shape. At that time, the event was
called Tiurai โ a derivation of the word July. It was meant to coincide
with France's national holiday known as Bastille Day, which is still
celebrated every year on July 14th. On this one day, France allowed
Polynesians to partake in their traditional celebrations. The first
festival included games, entertainment and singing, but dance was still
somewhat restricted, forcing them to perform a much more "sanitized"
version of Tahitian dance.
It
wasn't until 1956 that Madeleine Moua, a high school principal from
Papeete, spearheaded the full revival of Tahitian dance by forming the
dance troupe Heiva Tahiti. Soon after, traditional dance resumed its
rightful place as a vibrant part of Tahitian culture. Then in 1985,
Tahiti obtained greater political autonomy from France and they renamed
the festival Heiva I Tahiti.

In
January 2010, the Tonga Broadcasting Commission sent a television crew
to Niuatoputapu to interview the survivors of the September 2009 tsunami
in Samoa Islands Region. The documentary team interviewed over 50
people, and ย took along an artist, Soakimi Maka Finau, who drew 31
sketches from the survivorsโ descriptions of the tsunami. The one-hour
documentary called โNiuatoputapu after the Tsunami of 2009โ, was
broadcast by Television Tonga in March 2010.
This
book is based on the documentary, along with three other interviews
recorded on October 3, 2010, at the Vaiola Hospital in Nukuโalofa, where
several injured survivors had been evacuated for treatment. It also
includes photographs and diagrams.

Named
after the French ship Astrolabe, the Great Astrolabe Reef, is a
breeding ground for big fish like tuna, marlin, giant Trevally and
sharks. Gaps in the reef can be subject to strong currents, but these
also bring in the nutrients which feed everyone along the food chain,
from the soft corals, to the reef fish, to the big fish.ย
The
environment makes for adventurous and colorful diving, with sites like
Naiqoro Passage where you can experience big fish action against a

We can offer your members a 10% discount on cyclone season storage and long time hardstand storage.
Vavaสฟu
Group, island cluster of Tonga, in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The
group comprises two chains, one coral and the other volcanic. To the
east lie uplifted coral islands, including Vavaสฟu Island, the largest.
Vavaสฟu with an active volcano rising to 600 feet, was discovered in 1781
by Spanish explorer Francisco Antonio Mourelle, who named it Amargura
(Spanish for โbitternessโ) because of his disappointment at being able
to obtain neither food nor fresh water.
Vavaสฟu
Island has a fine sheltered harbour and several unique coastal caves.
It is the site of Neiafu, the groupโs administrative headquarters. Its
fertile soil yields corn (maize), breadfruit, yams, and copra, the last

12) THE RAINBOW WARRIORย NZ vs FRANCEย
Speaking of Oppenheimer ...ย
Between 1966 and 1996, the French government conducted 193 nuclear weapon tests in the islands of the South Pacific. Theseย
The
Rainbow Warrior was a Greenpeace flagship vessel used for environmental
activism and protests. On July 10, 1985, it was docked at the port of
Auckland, New Zealand, preparing for a campaign against French nuclear
testing in the South Pacific. France was conducting nuclear tests in the
region, which raised environmental and safety concerns, and Greenpeace
sought to draw attention to this issue.
In
what became a highly controversial and tragic event, French
intelligence agents bombed the Rainbow Warrior while it was berthed in
Auckland's Waitematฤ Harbour. The explosion sank the vessel and resulted
in the death of Fernando Pereira, a Portuguese photographer and
Greenpeace activist.
The
incident caused outrage both in New Zealand and internationally. It was
quickly revealed that French agents were behind the attack, which
further strained relations between New Zealand and France.
In
the aftermath of the bombing, the French government initially denied
any involvement. However, evidence soon emerged, and under mounting
international pressure, France eventually admitted responsibility for
the attack. The agents involved in the bombing were captured by New
Zealand authorities, but they were later released as part of a
diplomatic resolution between the two countries.
The Rainbow Warrior bombing, unrepentant French spy Christine Cabon ย
The
Rainbow Warrior incident led to significant tensions between New
Zealand and France. New Zealand's Prime Minister at the time, David
Lange, condemned the attack and took a strong stance against French
actions. In response, New Zealand imposed sanctions on France, which
included economic and diplomatic measures.
One
of the most significant consequences of this diplomatic spat was the
downgrading of diplomatic relations between the two countries. France
withdrew its ambassador from New Zealand, and for a period, the
relationship between the two nations was severely strained.
In
subsequent years, however, the relationship gradually improved, and
diplomatic ties were eventually restored. The incident left a lasting
impact on New Zealand's stance on nuclear disarmament and environmental
activism, as well as its foreign policy approach towards France and
other nations.
The
bombing of the Rainbow Warrior remains a poignant reminder of the
importance of peaceful activism and the consequences of state-sponsored
actions against peaceful protesters.
The
level of animosity between New Zealand and France had significantly
diminished since the Rainbow Warrior incident in 1985. Over the years,
both countries have worked to rebuild their relationship and have
engaged in various diplomatic efforts to move past the incident.
The
reconciliation process has been aided by France's formal apology for
the bombing and the recognition of the incident's tragic consequences.
Additionally, the conviction and punishment of the French agents
involved in the attack also played a role in easing tensions.

When the global COVID-19 pandemic struck, the Marshall Islands was one of the first Pacific nations to lock down its borders.
Now, three years later, the Marshalls remains one of the few Pacific
countries still closed to visitors, with incoming travelers required to
undergo 10 days of quarantine.
Secretary Niedenthall said the outbreak was "spreading like wildfire" โ in fact,
he himself tested positive to COVID the same day as the first cases was
detected. He was currently recovering in home isolation.
"We think the virus has been here had been here for several days before we
discovered it even though we do random testing," he said.
"What we're concerned about is that whole last week, there were all kinds of
boats and planes going to these outer islands and we are getting reports
of people with symptoms." ย Source: https://www.abc.net.au/radio-australia/ย

process today, they did look into our fridge, garbage and select food
lockers, but they did not take anything from us (thatโs incl sausage,
bacon, cheese, milk, a basil plant, fruit, vegetables, sourdough), just
had to โpromiseโ to consume everything on bord. They did not look at our

For rigging, we used Fenua rigging who came recommended to us by Florian on Ibex. Emile is the proprietor and speaks reasonable English, Jerome is his right hand man and is completely fluent as his mother is Scottish. They did
excellent work for us and showed true expertise and knowledge in a field
that has more than it's fair share of charlatans. He's not the cheapest
but he is the best. He is also very busy so you have to work to his
schedule not your own, but I would have no hesitation in recommending
him or using him again myself.
