Excerpt: Contemporary Kiribati culture is centered around the family, the church and the sea. Its relative isolation Kiribati has allowed "traditional values" and skills to be maintained. Kiribati has a history of contrived and ritualized duels. The armor was made of thickly woven sennet, a kind of coconut fiber. The duelists wore helmets made of blowfish remains. The helmets were resilient and, due to the structure of blowfish, covered with many points, which had the ability of damaging weapons. The weapons resembled broadswords with a serrated edge created with many shark teeth. The duels were performed mostly for the purpose of settling disputes and maintaining honor. The practicality of the duels is debatable. Due to the difficulty of moving in this armor, falling over and becoming unable to get back up was common enough that duel assistants were required. Kiribati has been known for its traditional martial arts which were kept within the secrets of several families for generations. The Kiribati arts of fighting as opposed to Asian martial arts are not often mentioned or even advertised to be known by the general public. Though, there maybe be some noticeable parallels in principle to that of Asian martial arts, they are merely really different. For instance, generally, there is no kicking as in Karate kicks or Kung Fu kicks, and speed is more important than power. The list of these traditional martial arts is as follows(this is not a complete list): Nabakai, Nakara, Ruabou, Tabiang, Taborara, Tebania, Temata-aua, Te Rawarawanimon, Terotauea.

Extrait : Le drapeau des Kiribati fut créé à l'origine comme armoiries en 1937 par sir Arthur Grimble, commissaire-résident des îles Gilbert et Ellice. Sous forme de drapeau, il a été adopté comme drapeau national le 12 juillet 1979 lors de l'indépendance de la république. Le drapeau représente un soleil levant (otintaai), survolé par une frégate (te eitei), qui émerge des flots du Pacifique. Le soleil darde de 17 rayons, symbole des 16 îles Gilbert et de l'île de Banaba. Les flots du Pacifique sont répartis en trois parties, comme les trois archipels de l'État (Gilbert, Phœnix et îles de la Ligne). La frégate (Fregata minor), qui représente un messager traditionnel et respecté, est l'oiseau emblématique des I-Kiribati (ethnonyme vernaculaire des Gilbertins). Si la version présentée est celle utilisée le plus souvent, il existe une version où les rayons du soleil sont plus nombreux (21 voire 22 au lieu des 17 traditionnels) pour tenir compte que 21 îles de la République sont désormais habitées (trois îles de la Ligne et Canton (îles Phœnix). Dans une lettre au haut-commissaire du Pacifique occidental (à Suva) écrite de la part de sir Arthur Grimble, il était écrit au sujet des armoiries de la colonie : On trouve également dans la documentation officielle Les couleurs sont définies par : ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...
