2. Niue Tourism Website, Niue Rock Of Polynesia, The Secret Experience is combined with elements of traditional and contemporary niue culture in order to celebrate abundance and the effect http://www.niueisland.com/tahiono_arts_collective.htm

Tahiono Arts Collective (Artists' Statement) Tulana Mahu (Shrine to Abundance) I n the tradition of shrines of all cultures and religions, Tulana Mahu is a sanctum of particular ambience that is intended to project a sense of well being, gratitude and hope. This universality is combined with elements of traditional and contemporary Niue culture in order to celebrate abundance and the effect that it may have on our future. Apart from its obvious pragmatism, the shipping container is seen as the perfect symbol for the movement of food around the Pacific and is therefore analogous to the sustenance of the region and in fact to the world. The shrine is divided into two parts, the outer shrine and the inner sanctuary. At the entrance, the outer shrine reflects the cool, sterile environment of the urban freezing works which refers to the external procuration of livelihood. The inner sanctuary is created with the 'Fale Peito' (Niue cook house) in mind with its central feature the umu pit ubiquitous in the Pacific. The usual fale peito is cluttered with implements of food production and processing as well as a variety of other miscellaneous paraphernalia and this conglomeration is expressed in a huge assortment of small art/craft work. An element of this clutter are small artworks from around the world created specifically for the shrine. These represent the counter-colonial idea that the disbursement of artwork is reversed and art from around the world is drawn toward rather than away from the country.

home search help worldguide ... Related Weblinks Niue Culture Despite the incursions made by free email and resort hotels, Niue remains in many respects a traditional Polynesian society. Budget-breaking coming-of-age ceremonies are major social occasions, marked by hair-cutting for boys and ear-piercing for girls. Another tradition focuses on the annual kaloama (juvenile goatfish) and atule (big-eye scad) spawning seasons; fishing is temporarily banned at this time, and some beaches and reef swimming holes are closed. Experience a Sunday on Niue, and you'll soon discover that the Sabbath is still taken pretty seriously here: no boats are allowed to go to sea between 4am and 9pm, so there's no diving, boating or fishing, and only limited swimming (at the Limu Pools and Matapa Chasm). Church-going and a little gentle sightseeing are the order of the day, with perhaps a few swings of a golf club in the long post-siesta afternoon. Each village has a church of the Protestant Ekalesia Niue (offspring of the original London Missionary Society which oversaw the island's conversion to Christianity back in 1846), supplemented by Roman Catholic, Latter-day Saint, Seventh-Day Adventist, Baha'i and Jehovah's Witness houses of worship. The Niuean language is similar to Tongan, and also has some Samoan influences. Most locals speak English, but a little of the local lingo will go down a treat.

Information Civil Society Commonwealth Understanding Reports and Guidelines Information and Resources Citizens and Governance: Civil Society in the New Millennium - National Summary Report from Niue 28 November 2000 NIUE Country profile Niue is the largest coral island in the world, lying east of Tonga in the South Pacific. The majority of the population of 1,647 (a July 1998 estimate) is Polynesian, with about 200 Europeans, Samoans, and Tongans. Since 1974, Niue has had self-governing status in free association with New Zealand. The island is fully responsible for its internal affairs, while New Zealand retains responsibility for external affairs. Niue has a unicameral legislative assembly with twenty seats. Members are elected to serve three-year terms, with six members elected from a common roll and fourteen as representatives from villages. The natural resources of Niue are its people, its land, and the sea. The agricultural sector consists mainly of subsistence gardening, though some cash crops are grown. The industrial sector consists primarily of small factories processing passion fruit, lime oil, honey, and coconut cream. The sale of postage stamps to foreign collectors is an important source of revenue, and a small tourist industry is developing. The economy is heavily dependent on aid from New Zealand and remittances from abroad. Government expenditures regularly exceed revenues by about 35 per cent, with the shortfall made up by grants from New Zealand, so that public employees can be paid. The remaining 65 per cent of revenue comes from fishing licenses with foreign nations, telecommunications line leasing, and offshore banking. A falling population, due to emigration, is raising questions about the viability of Niue as an independent state.

Many are still being observed today such as our "kaloama season" where seasonal 'sardine like' fish visit our shores. When the Kaloama run, some reef areas are closed from public swimming but there are still numerous other swimming pools and coves that can be used during that short period. You need only ask for guidance from locals or at the Niue Information & Booking Centre. Haircutting and Ear Piercing Ceremonies A major event for a teenage boy is his haircutting ceremony, when the long tail of hair that he has kept since childhood is removed. Guests invited to the concurrent feast each contribute hundreds of dollars to a fund that goes to the boy after the celebration costs are paid. For girls there is a similar ear piercing ceremony. These gatherings are usually held on a Saturday in private homes. Families welcome visitors to these occasions when permission is asked beforehand. It is an opportunity to see and witness a local tradition and share in that experience with the host family.

Niue Jump to: Introduction Facts for the Traveler When to Go Events ... Maps Introduction The islanders call it 'the Rock', its name means 'Behold the Coconut', Captain Cook got it utterly wrong and dubbed it Savage Island - and we call it Niue, one of the Pacific's smallest, and most unassuming, nations. Friendly, laid-back Niue (pronounced ' new -ay') offers peerless diving in clear seas, though the waters are shared with scores of striped sea snakes (but don't worry, they're mostly harmless). The rocky island is riddled with fabulous caves and dramatic coastal walks - in fact, it's a textbook example of a makatea , an upwardly thrusting coral reef. It's miles from anywhere and not the easiest place to get to, and that can only add to the island's many charms. Full country name: Niue Population: 1855 (growth rate 0.4%) Area: 260 sq km (100 sq mi) Capital city: Alofi People: Polynesian (85% Niuean, plus Tongan, Tuvaluan, Samoan), New Zealanders Language: Niuean Polynesian, English Religion: Ekalesia Niue (Protestant) 75%, Latter-day Saint 10%, Roman Catholic, Jehovah's Witness, Seventh-Day Adventist, Baha'i Government: self-governing parliamentary democracy, operating in free association with New Zealand

Women weavers are highly respected for the original design and quality of their craft and a fine array of hats, mats, and baskets made from local materials are readily available. Niue's unique traditions and festivals include haircutting (for boys) and ear piercing ceremonies (for girls). These gatherings are usually held on a Saturday in private homes. Families welcome visitors to these occasions when permission is asked beforehand. It is an opportunity to see and witness a local tradition and share in that experience with the host family. Sunday is a day of rest and worship and visitors are asked to be considerate of the Sunday observations. Fishing and boating are not undertaken, but many play golf or go sight seeing. Anyone not sure of Sunday protocols are welcome to check at the Niue Information Office in Alofi for guidance.

Pacific News Member of Culture Gallery Introduction ANGLONESIA Anglonesia is a neologism used here to refer to Australia New Zealand and the United States in the Pacific (ANZUS). The progress from colonialism to independence in the Pacific Islands region (both north and south of the equator) has not brought an end to the influence of the former colonial powers. Presently, there are ten territories or dependencies linked directly to an extraregional government, and five others are constrained in their foreign policies by the terms of their free associaton compacts. Like these territories, the independent states are also affected by the political, security and economic policies of the extraregional powers. There continues to be an overlap of interests between outsiders and islanders, which is likely to persist even as more island stated begin to exert their influence more and more within the region as well as globally.
