home search help worldguide ... Postcards New Caledonia Culture Among the Kanaks, dance has developed into a high art form. The traditional pilou dance tells the stories of births, marriages, cyclones or preparations for battle, although colonial authorities banned it in in 1951 for the high-energy and trance-like state they induced in the dancers (and for the occasional supping on human flesh). Music is a fundamental element of every traditional ceremony, and the range of instruments includes conch shells, rhythm instruments and bamboo flutes. The Caldoches, or white New Caledonians, are mostly descended from French convicts and have forged their own culture, more akin to that of rural Australians or rural Americans than the metropolitan French. Rodeos and country fairs are popular. M©tros are the more recent immigrants from France, and you're more likely to see them dining in fine restaurants or shopping for the latest fashions than staring down the wrong end of a cow. French is the official language, and you'll need to speak some if you venture out of Noumea (where at least some of those working in the tourist industry speak some English). An estimated 27 Kanak languages coexist in New Caledonia, but after being actively discouraged - or at least ignored - by the French, there is no single unifying Kanak language. The clan, not the individual, was the most important element of traditional Kanak culture, and la co»tume , a code encompassing rites, rituals and social interaction between the clans, is the essential component of Kanak identity today. It also maintains a crucial link with the individual's ancestors. Kanaks are Melanesians, the black people of the Western Pacific with links to Papuans and Australian Aborigines, and call themselves

Postcards New Caledonia Options for travellers in New Caledonia are vast, from diving in pristine reefs to dining out   la fran§ais , from trekking in unspoilt rainforest to partying the night away at Club Med. With a nod to local custom and an open mind, a trip to New Caledonia will be unforgettable. Clans and caf© au la®t, blackbirding and barrier reefs, Melanesian massacres and menus du jour - New Caledonia well exemplifies the expression that one person's bread is another's pain . France has its toes in hard, and has sent in the marines more than once to keep the colonials down on the farm. The people of New Caledonia - the Caldoches, M©tros and Kanaks - staggered out of the troubles when New Caledonia was contender for the 'basket case of the Pacific' prize. They are now barrelling down the future with, if not optimism, at least one eye on putting an end to the senseless rounds of violence of the 1980s.

While the French influence is strong, the Kanaks have retained much of their culture and tradition, particularly in rural areas and on the outer islands. Kanak daily life is based on closely-knit, extended family units led by chiefs and councils of elders. The people live communally, with no concept of individual land or home ownership. Sharing is important to community well being. Life ceremonies, such as weddings and funerals, are important occasions. Music and dance are an integral part of the culture. They are used both for ceremony and amusement and include items that have existed for generations as well as those choreographed for special occasions - or created impromptu.

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.
