KIRIBATI 2000 ABOUT KIRIBATI - THE FIRST COUNTRY TO GREET THE DAWN OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM Send a Free Kiribati ePostcard ! With the dawn of the new millennium on the eve of the Year 2000 it was the Pacific Islands of the Republic of Kiribati that were the first to witness this momentous occasion. When the sun rose on the islands and atolls of this Pacific Island Nation, it was Millennium (Caroline) Island of the Republic of Kiribati that was the first to welcome the dawning of the new era. This web page is dedicated to the people of the Republic of Kiribati. It contains details of their history, their unique, complex and beautiful culture, mythology, ethnology, genealogy, customs, rituals and lifestyle. In 1994 in a move not much noticed outside Kiribati (formerly the Gilbert Islands) President Teburoro Tito unilaterally shifted the International Date Line to the country's eastern extremity. It was a move initially made to unify the country by placing each part of it on the same calendar day. However, as President Tito said: "Later I realized I had accidentally made a good decision." The good decision was of course that Kiribati would be the first to see the new millennium. The Royal Greenwich Observatory and cartographers have accepted Kiribati line change. Subsequent appeals to the United Nations have met with the response that the date line, which was decided by an International Conference in 1884, is beyond its control.

Opening of Parliament House images (Animation) The Republic of Kiribati consists of thirty-three islands or atolls spread across a wide expanse of the Central Pacific Ocean and astride the equator. Each of the islands or atolls of Kiribati is in its own way fascinating and unique in terms of both its geography and its culture. The complexity and diversity of this culture is a source of ongoing fascination to students of Oceania throughout the world. By means of these Web pages it is my intention to provide both an insight and overview to the wonderful cultures of the islands of Kiribati. I hope that you will join me as we explore the Creation, Origins, Tradition, Early Contact with Traders, Whalers and other Europeans, Language, Culture, Social Structure, Communications, Fishing and the Future of this most unique country called the Republic of Kiribati. Thank you all and please enjoy this fascinating journey!

Kiribati Islands explored; and Compared to Florida Angela Putnam, Florida Gulf Coast University Written for IDS 3304 Issues In Ecology and Environment amputnam@eagle.fgcu.edu When one thinks of the South Pacific Islands the words paradise or vacation come to mind. Kiribati is an island chain of 33 coral reefs and atolls located in the South Pacific; only 20 of these are inhabited according to the online World Fact Book . However, there are much more to these islands than a mere get away spot. Other aspects of this island chain such as its history, population, culture, and environment are important. History of Kiribati By knowing the history of an area such as Kiribati one can better understand how this island chain came to be what it is today. However, it is believed that approximately 2000 years earlier a people named the Austronesians lived on the islands. Later, close to the 14 th century AD, Tongans and Fijians occupied the islands. After the invasion, the Austronesians, Tongans, and Fijians intermarried, and after generations became one people. According to Pacific Island Travel website, a Spanish explorer named de Quiros’ came to Butaritari in 1606.

home search help worldguide ... Postcards Kiribati Culture Canoe racing, volleyball and soccer are all popular on the islands, but more traditional pursuits, such as intricate and beautiful dances - particularly on Tabiteuea - an indigenous martial art and making figures out of string are still practised. Also important in Kiribati are chants for one to four voices that honour particular achievements, such as initiation rites. The chants are not normally accompanied by dance. The I-Kiribati (as locals are known, pronounced 'ee-kee-ree-bus') speak a Micronesian dialect, although English is widely used in official communications. The local alphabet has only 13 letters, with 'ti' standing in for 's'. The missionaries got their talons in early, and the Kiribati Protestant Church today has over 28,000 followers and the Catholic Church close to 40,000. Religion is taken very seriously, and the further south you go the more you should avoid doing anything that looks remotely like work (even darning your beach towel could be frowned upon). Traditional customs and beliefs still survive, which is not surprising for a people who have lived so closely to a force as mysterious as the sea for so long. Belief in the power of magic and the existence of ghosts ( anti ) is widespread, and small shrines are common in the bush.

Kiribati Originally by Jonathan Willis-Richards This version edited by Mike Pearson Home Forum Search Contact Kiribati: Banaba BANABA (Baanopa, Banaba Island, Bonabe, Ocean [Island], Paanopoa Island, Panopea) Place names: Buakonikai (settlement), Home Bay, Lilian Point, Ooma (settlement), Sydney Point, Tabiang(2) (settlement), Tapiwa (settlement). About Visiting Phosphate Industry Books ... Society About Banaba An extremely remote isolated island several hundred kilometres to the west of the Gilberts Group. It is a raised atoll, rising several tens of metres above sea level. Extensive phosphate deposits were mined from the turn of the century until 1979. These deposits, destined for processing into fertiliser, were sold at below world market prices to Australia and New Zealand and helped 'kick start' these major agricultural economies. It is indeed curious that 1979 should also have been the year of Kiribati independence. The inhabitants, the Banabans, never quite saw the justice of shipping their homeland to Australia in bulk carriers in return for an inadequate number of small pieces of paper termed "Royalties" and were a constant thorn in the side of the British Phosphate Commissioners. When there was insufficient of their homeland left (ie the village areas were to be mined) they were resettled on Rambi Island in Fiji in about 1947 (which they had to buy with their own money!) where the community resides to this day. Some have returned to Banaba. In retrospect their treatment seems rather shabby, but I suspect that they would have fared worse under many other possible colonial regimes. [PS Does anyone know how the Nauruans were treated by the Germans prior to 1914? It would make an interesting comparison.]
