Research papers on customary law in Papua New Guinea

  • AU PMB MS 1147
  • Collection
  • Compiled 1960s-1970s

Dr Peter Sack was Senior Fellow in Law, Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University, 1957-1998. These research papers were compiled by Dr Sack in the 1960s and 1970. They document descent, land ownership systems and cultural patterns of inheritance and ownership which effect land tenure. They refer, not just to customary land tenure issues, but to land alienation during the German colonial period and subsequent restoration to indigenous customary owners. Dr Sack's mongraph, Land between two laws : early European land acquisitions in New Guinea, ANU Press, 1973, is based on these research papers.

The Union is the oldest and most successful of the blue collar unions in PNG. The union had its origins in the ethnically based welfare societies formed in Port Moresby in the late 1950s. Waterside workers were also active in the PNG Workers’ Association and its successor the Port Moresby Workers’ Association in the 1960s. The Central District Waterside Workers’ Union was established at a public meeting in Port Moresby on 24 July 1968 and registered under the PNG Industrial Organisations Ordinance on 28 January 1969. Between 1977 and 1980 the CDWWU embarked on a series of amalgamations with the Overseas Seamen’s Union, the Rabaul Workers’ Association, the Madang Waterside Workers’ Union and the Lae Stevedoring Union. The amalagamated union, the PNG Waterside Workers’ and Seamen’s Union, the first national private sector union in Papua New Guinea, was registered on 8 January 1980. The name of the organisation was changed to the Papua New Guinea Maritime Workers Industrial Union on 18 October 1993.

In 1855, following the formation of the Australasian Connexion of the Methodist Church, general jurisdiction and administration of the Methodist missions in the Friendly Islands, Fiji and New Zealand was transferred to the Methodist Missionary Society of Australasia which subsequently also took control of Methodist activities in Samoa, New Guinea, Papua, the Solomon Islands and North Australia. New Zealand became a separate Conference in 1910 and in 1922 it took over responsibility for the Solomons Islands District. In 1926 Tonga was made an independent Conference in affiliation with the Australasian General Conference.

Archives, 1920s-1974. Microfilms made by Jerry Leach.

  • 1920s-1974

While carrying out fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands for his doctoral dissertation, the anthropologist Jerry Leach (producer and narrator of the renowned ethnographic film <I>Trobriand Cricket</I>) surveyed and microfilmed important archives kept in the archipelago's main centre, Losuia. These records were drawn upon for Dr Leach's research on the Kabisawali Movement, which had emerged in 1972 in opposition to the last years of Australian colonial rule. Kabisawali promoted Trobriand control of their own economic and political affairs. Between 1972 and 1977 Kabisawali opened and operated trade stores and invested in copra, transportation and tourism. While it enjoyed political support and some economic success through the mid to the late 1970s, the movement as a whole had gone into decline by 1980. However, its legacy was significant, reflected in changes such as the decision to abolish the Kiriwina Local Government Council in 1990 and replace it with a Kiriwina Community Government that includes a chamber of traditional chiefs (see <I>PMB 1165</I> for further details). While most of these papers do not directly concern the Kabisawali movement they do provide an historical context for understanding the formation of Kabisawali. As Leach wrote in 1982 (287-288) <I>'For over eighty years, a set of islands made up of relatively or potentially self-sufficient units without overall organisation or a socio-economic centre have been undergoing uneven centralization'</I>(1) These papers help document these historical processes.

Dr Leach selected documents as they related to his research interests. The photographs are 35mm negatives from a Pentax Spotmatic spliced together into rolls. Lighting conditions were far from ideal so some of the exposures are hard to read. Most of these papers are district and local government administrative records. They include annual reports along with files on taxation, chiefs, health, censuses, statistics, patrol reports, mission relations, World War II, village councils and the Kiriwina LGC, cricket, court cases, education, and village constables and officials.

In 1932 W.C. Groves carried out ethnographic fieldwork centred on the village of Fisoa in the northern half of the island of New Ireland, in the Territory of New Guinea, part of the administrative district which had its headquarters in the town of Kavieng. His fieldwork was carried out under a grant from the Australian National Research Council. Reports of Groves' work were published in <I>Oceania</I> and <I>Mankind</I>. Following a successful career as an educator, culminating in his appointment as Director of Education in the Territory of Papua and New Guinea, 1946-1958, Groves was appointed Visiting Fellow in Anthropology in the Research School of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University in 1965 and 1966, where he complied the papers copied on this microfilm.

The Micronesia Support Committee was an NGO that carried out research and made its findings available to the public, media, government and other interested individuals and organisations concerned with the political status of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (1947-1990). It was established by Giff Johnson in 1975 and based in Honolulu, Hawai'i. It was superseded by the Pacific Concerns Resource Centre in 1983 with its headquarters in Suva, Fiji. The Committee published the <I>Micronesia Support Committee Bulletin</I> which promoted economic self-sufficiency, self-determination and independence. In the 1970s the US, as the administering power, partitioned the TTPI into four political units: the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariannas. The latter established a political union with the US in 1978. The Marshall Islands, the FSM and Palau opted for independence in Free Association with the US. While the compacts did lead to internationally recognised independence for the Marshall Islands (1986), the FSM (1986) and Palau (1994), the US assumed responsibility for their defence requirements, and was granted rights of strategic denial and exclusive military access to both land and sea. The <I>Bulletin</I> and related publications thus chronicled the political, economic, military, social, and international dimensions surrounding the dissolution of the TTPI and the emergence of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariannas and the Freely Associated States of the Marshall Islands, the FSM and Palau.
