Extractions: Niue 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.

NIUE MOVES TO EXPAND NIUEAN CULTURE IN EDUCATION - April 30, 2004

Extractions: With Support From Center for Pacific Islands Studies/University of Hawaii NIUE MOVES TO EXPAND NIUEAN CULTURE IN EDUCATION ALOFI, Niue (Niue News, April 23) - An increased emphasis on Niue culture is expected to be a key element the islands 10-year strategic plan for education. Over the next two weeks, education authorities in Niue will be seeking public input into the new proposals. Director of Education Tiva Togatule said Niue has been increasingly aligning its curriculum with that of New Zealand, which is what people want, but they also want to ensure Niuean language and culture is incorporated. Ms Togatule said since 1989, cultural aspects have been included but only to intermediate level. She hopes now to lift the status of the language within the formal education system. The New Zealand Qualifications Authority, which sets standards for the National Certificate of Educational Achievement, last year agreed to consider introducing the Niuean language into the certificate assessments. "We are now waiting for someone from New Zealand to come and help us to transfer those into curriculum for year 11 by 2005," said Ms Togatule a former teacher and former chairperson of the Niue Public Service Commission.

Extractions: 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.

New Zealand officials have moved quickly to prevent any abuse of aid assistance by employing a disaster recovery manager. Questions are also being asked about the accuracy of a $37 million assessment of total damage caused by the hurricane force winds and high seas. Niue has a population of 1300 and most damage caused was along a narrow band on the west coast. In an article in the Sunday Star Times, reporter David Fisher writes a spokeswoman for NZAid has confirmed "inflated" claims have been made by

Please stay tune. nbn 27/11/03 EMPTY HOUSES HURTING NATIONAL IMAGE The great migration of Niueans mainly to New Zealand during the past fifty years have left Niue with a problem of empty houses. There is also an additional issue with those empty houses, the use of the absetos roofing is a major concern because of a health hazard. The houses commonly known as hurricane houses, was contructed in the 60s and funded by the New Zealand Government, helping Niueans live in better and stronger houses.

Extractions: Niue Niue's capital is little more than just one long street stretching for several kilometres along the rocky coastline. The waterline is marked by a number of traditional canoe-landing spots, including Opaahi Landing, the place where Captain Cook made an unsuccessful attempt to come ashore in 1744. There are a couple of handkerchief-sized beaches, notably at Utuko and Omahi. The biggest attractions for divers lie directly offshore - the Chimney, Opaahi and Faka Laina (aka the Toilet Bowl). A drop down into the crystal-clear depths is rewarded by a twisting series of gullies, ravines, chasms, caves and reef ridges. If bad weather hits, head indoors to learn the story of the island's history and culture at the Huanaki Cultural Centre, or visit the Ekalesia Church on Tomb Point. The two headstones outside the church mark the graves of two island kings, Tuitoga (ruled 1876-87) and Fataaiki (1888-96). back to top Niue's most popular swimming and snorkelling spot would have to be these lambent freshwater and saltwater pools, 10km (6mi) north of the capital. Swimming on a Sunday is permitted here, and also further north at Matapa Chasm. The awesome Ana Mahaga twin caves dive is just offshore, with some of the island's most spectacular scuba diving: two chimneys plummet down through the reef before turning through a 90-degree angle to emerge as huge caves on the reef edge, joined by a horizontal tunnel.
