Budget-breaking coming-of-age ceremonies are major social occasions, marked by hair-cutting for boys and ear-piercing for girls.

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.

P ACIFIC I SLANDS R EPORT Pacific Islands Development Program/East-West Center With Support From Center for Pacific Islands Studies/University of Hawai‘i 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 island’s 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.

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.

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.

home search help worldguide ... Thorn Tree Posts Niue Attractions Alofi 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 Limu Pools 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.

Niuean Culture BACK Niueans take pride in their many cultural traditions have been handed down from generation to generation. 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.
