The Radio Heritage Collection Radio Free Bougainville This article was originally published in DX Ontario, October 1992, by the Ontario DX Association
Bougainville is the main island of the North Solomons group which, as the name implies, is not related geographically or ethnically to the rest of the islands of Papua New Guinea; and so, the inclusion of the the North Solomons as a province of PNG might be characterized as a colonial "accident". The international boundary with the Solomons is just a stone's throw off the southeast coast of Bougainville Island. Here's a backgrounder to the origins of Radio Free Bougainville, which I should think, regardless of one's sympathies, must properly be considered a clandestine operation at this time: "IARN GETS MEDICINE TO BOUGAINVILLE THROUGH NEW GUINEA BLOCKADE" Bougainville is a 130-mile long island with 160,000 citizens, northeast of Australia, between Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Bougainville was so named by the French Explorer Louis de Bougainville who first sighted the island in 1768. It was later annexed by the German New Guinea Company as part of their holdings. After the defeat of Germany in the First World War, the German territories, collectively termed New Guinea, became a part of the League of Nations Mandate and were placed under Australian administration. At this stage, Bougainville's leaders began to speak out against being held as a separate entity from their traditional brothers in the Solomons.

About us
Send me a Brochure Tripbuilder (Shopping Cart) Send me a Quotation ... Pacific News Member of Tuvalu Niutao Niutao is roughly rectangular in shape and has a tiny land-locked lagoon in the middle. It was believed in former times, and the story is still told, that the two women, Pai and Vau who made Nanumea, also made Niutao. They came from Kiribati with baskets of earth which they scattered around to form islands. The first inhabitants of Niutao were half spirit and half human beings who lived at Mulitefao. Their leader was Kulu who took the form of a woman. The first human settlers came from Samoa in a canoe captained by a man called Mataika. He settled at Tamana on the eastern side of the island, where winds sweep the spray of the surf over between the people of Tamana and the beings who dwelt at Mulitefao. Mataika had many children. Later, a man by the name of Faitafaga with a party of ten lesser chiefs, followed Mataika from Samoa. He, too, was accepted at Niutao where he built a village named Savaea, a little to the north of Mulitefao. As in other islands in the Atu Tuvalu, only the first male child and the first female child of a marriage were permitted to live. Later children were held beneath the water of the small lagoon until they were dead. This was to ensure that the population did not grow out of proportion to the resources of the island. To assist them in the conduct of their affairs, the people offered prayers to, and sought guidance from, the moon and sun and the spirits of their ancestors. From these spirits certain elders, of whom Fakaua was the most famous, obtained magical power which enabled them do such things as calm the sea before fishing expeditions, cause death or insanity and to bring rain. When turtles were caught at sea or on the steep sandy beaches their heads were ceremonially presented to the chiefs, who sat at the southern end of the large

For other books (not current textbooks), we may take at most 5 of them in the store at any one time. Other, specific books are evil and shall not grace our shelves. For a complete list of all such evil books, please visit the store. Computer Books If it's 5 years old, or we have more than 5 in the store, we cannot accept it. General Criteria If the book is damaged, it's not worthy of our store. Photocopied material is truly evil and must not enter our store. Magazines, course packs, and lab manuals are not evil, but are pretty darn close. They won't ever be consigned here. Anthropology ISBN 1. Most Cultural Anthropology Books (see #16)
