People of Oceania
Oceania is the collective name for the islands scattered throughout most of the Paci c
Ocean. These islands are close enough to each other that they formgroupsorclusters.
Oceania includes more than 10,000 islands, with a total land area of approximately
317,700 square miles.Oceania has traditionally been divided into three regions,
Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.

During Colonial times, the

islands were discovered by
Europeans; soon after,
European traders and
merchants moved in.
Plantations for sugar, coffee,
cocoa, and cotton were
established. Furthermore,
missionaries came to the
region to convert the
islanders to Christianity.

Contact with Europeans

resulted in disease,
bloodshed (from violent
con icts), depopulation
(death of many native
Hawaiians), con scation of
land from native Hawaiians
and most of all, a disruption
of Native lifestyles.

The two major colonial powers of the past in Oceania were Britain and France. The
British practiced what is called indirect rule, which meant that Native institutionswere
partly preserved and local affairswereleftinNativehands.ThishappenedonFiji,Tonga
andtheCookIslands.TheFrenchintervenedmoredirectlyandwantedtoimplantFrench
civilization into the region. They destroyed Paci c institutions and replaced them with
French ones,forexample,inplacessuchastheSocietyIslandsandtheMarquesas.This
is called direct rule.

Geography of Oceania

The Islands of Oceania
The Paci c Ocean has over 20,000 islands. Some have peoplelivingonthem.Somedon't.Asa
group, these islands are called Oceania.

Oceania has three large groups of islands. These are Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia.
Micronesia means small islands. Melanesia means dark islands. Polynesia means many
islands. Sometimes, Australia, New Zealand, and the Malay Peninsula are said to be part of
Oceania.

To understand Oceania, it is important to know how its islands were formed. An island is a
small piece ofland.Ithaswaterallaroundit.SomeislandsinthePaci cOceanwereformedby

4
two plates bumping together at their edges. Some were formed by the pile-up of melted lava
coming through a vent in or below the oceans oor.

The islands of Oceania have high islands and low islands. The high islandsincludecontinental
and volcanic (or oceanic) islands. The low islands include coral atolls and raised coral atolls.

1. High Islands

Continental islands used to be part of a continent. The plates moved. The seas rose from
melting ice. These pieces of continents became islands. A continental shelf runs between the
island and the continent. It is the part of the land mass that is near the shore but under the
water. It is not always connected to the island. The continental shelf can reach out 200 miles
from shore before the water becomes deep.

Continental islands are often larger than other kinds of islands. They have more different
animals and plants. More people can live ontheseislands.NewGuineaandNewCaledoniaare
continental islands.

Volcanic islands begin forming under the sea. The volcano pours out lava. The lavapilesup.If
the volcano keeps pouring out lava long enough, the land mass rises above the surface of the
ocean. It becomes an island. As long as the lava keeps coming, the island will get bigger.

On a volcanic island the land can be very steep. People live along the coast or in the narrow
valleys. There are not as many kinds of plants and animals as thereareoncontinentalislands.
Tahiti and Pohnpei are volcanic islands.

2. Low Islands

Some low islands are high islands that have been worn down nearly to sea level. Many of the
islands in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands are of this type. More low islands, however, are
formed from coral reefs.

TheCoralAnimalVolcanoesmakeislands.Coralseaanimalsalsomakeislands.Theseanimals
are very, very small. When they die, their skeletons are pressed together to make coral. New
coral may build up on top of old coral. This is how coral animals make reefs.

5
The little coral animals can live only in salt water. The water must be warm.Itmustbeshallow
and clear. Certain seaweeds live with the coral animals. They need each other. The seaweed

helps the coral animals build reefs in warm, shallow, clear seawater.

Many sea plants and animals live on the coral reef. Fishofmanykindsliveinthereef.Theyare
usually smaller and more colorful than open ocean sh. Many types of sharks can also be
found. The octopus isareefanimalthatlivesinholesandcracksinthereef.Itisnotdangerous
to people. Moral eels also live in holes in the coral. They can be dangerous to people who put
their hands in the coral. Crabs, lobsters, clams, star sh, and slugs all live in the reef. None of
these animals live in the open ocean. Many kinds of plants also live inacoralreef.Theywould
probably not live without coral.

How Atolls Are Formed

Sometimes a volcano makes an island in the ocean. Coral animals build a reef on its edge,
which is underwater. This is called a shelf. Waves can break up the coral. This makes sand,
which forms beaches. Then coral animals build a shelf farther from the shore. Then very, very
slowly the volcanoislandsinks.Thecoralmustgrowupaswellasout.Thereefisnowapartof
the island. The shallow water between the reefandtheislandiscalledalagoon.Thebottomof
the lagoon is sand made from broken coral.

Very, very slowly the volcano sinks even more. The mountain disappears. The volcanic island
disappears. Only a reef of coral around a lagoon is left. This is called an atoll.

The coral animals build a reef. The waves break up the coral. This makes sand. The sand
gathers on top of the reef, up abovethelevelofthesea.Sometimesitbecomesjustalowsand
island, but it can become a reef island. This kind of island has a hard base of coral that has
been pressed together. This kind of coral is called limestone. The limestone base can hold
rainwater. Plants can grow on a reef island. The plant roots help o holdmorewater.Whenthey
die, they make a rich soil. Then even more plants can grow.

There are four ways plants can get to an island. Some plants have seeds that can oat for
hundreds of miles. The waves can toss seeds like coconutsupontoanisland.Someseedsare
blownbythewind.Sometimesbirdseatfruitwithseeds.Thebirdslandonanisland.Theyleave
the seeds in their droppings. Also, when people come, they bring new plants to the islands.

As rain falls on a reef island, it goes into the limestone rocks. Fresh water oats on top. It is
lighter than salt water. It is on top of the saltwaterthathasalreadygoneintotherockfromthe
ocean. Thus peoplecandigwellsonreefislandstogetfreshwater.Peoplecandigditches.The
ditches will ll up with fresh water for taro patches.

There are very few animals onreefislands.Landcrabs,insects,andlizardswereprobablythere
before people. There are also some land birds on the islands. Seabirds sh out on the ocean
during the day. At night they rest on the island. Their droppings make the soil richer. People
brought chickens, pigs, dogs, and rats.

Beachcombing in Tahiti:

The BritishRoyal Navys HMSBountyhas become a very famous ship. Originally settingsailon
28 April, 1789, themutinywasledbyFletcherChristianagainsttheircaptain,LieutenantWilliam
Bligh. According to accounts, the sailors were attracted to the idyllic life and opportunities
afforded on the Paci c island ofTahiti. It has also been argued that they were motivated by
Bligh's allegedly harsh treatment of them.
Eighteen mutineers overtook Bligh and sent him off in a small boat with the part of the crew
that was loyal to him. To avoid detection and preventpunishment,themutineersthenvariously
settled in Tahitiand burned the ship. Once they settled in this area, they were considered
beachcombers and began interacting with Polynesians, which includedmarryingthelocalsand
sharing with them their culture.
In an extraordinary feat of seamanship, Bligh navigated the 23-foot on a 47-day voyage
toTimorin theDutch East Indies, equipped with aonly quadrantandpocket watchand without
charts or compass. He recorded the distance as 3,618 nautical miles (6,701km; 4,164mi). He
then returned toBritainand reported the mutiny totheAdmiralty2yearsand11weeksafterhis

four of the prisoners. The surviving ten prisoners were eventually sent back toEngland,triedin

Descendants of some of the mutineers still live on islands in southern Polynesia. The mutiny
has been commemorated in books, lms, and songs.

Blackbirding In Tonga
In June 1863 about 350 people were living Kolomaile, a village on a small island in Tonga.
Captain Thomas James McGrath of the Tasmanian whalerGrecian, having decided that the
newslave tradewas more pro table than whaling, arrived at the atoll and invited the islanders
on board for trading. But once almost half ofthepopulationwasonboard,theship'sdoorsand
rooms were locked, and the shipsailedaway.144personswouldneverreturn.TheGrecianalso
tried to take slaves from the Lau group, but was unsuccessful. McGrath captured 30 other
people from an island in Tonga, and his goal was totaketheislanderstoPeruandsellthemas
slaves.

Near the CookIslands,theGrecianencounteredanotherslaveship,theGeneralPrim.Itscaptain

was willing to take over the 174 Tongans and quicklyreturntoPeru,whereitarrivedon19July.
Meanwhile, the Peruvian government was under pressure from foreign powers and was
shocked that its labor plan had turned into a slave trade. The islanders on board General Prim,
and other ships were not allowed to land. Theyweretransferredtoothershipscharteredbythe
Peruvian government to return them to their homeland. They intended to return the stolen
laborers.

By the time thecaptured Tongans nally left on October 2nd, 1863, many of the Tongans had
already died or were dying fromcontagious diseases. The caption of the return ship thought
that he was being underpaid toreturntheTongans,andhedumpedthemonuninhabitedCocos
Island, an island off the coast of Costa Rica. He later claimed that the 426kanakas were

21 October, its crew found some 200 Tongans still alive. A month later the Peruvian
warshipTumbeswent to rescue the remaining 38 survivors and took them toPaita, a city in
Peru, where they were apparently absorbed into the local population.
Meanwhile in Tonga, KingGeorge Tupou I, having heard of these events, sent three ships to
Kolomaile to rescue the remaining 200 islanders, so they would be safe from future attacks.

The Marshall Islands
Micronesian colonists gradually settled the Marshall Islands during the 2nd millennium
BC. Islands in the archipelago were rst explored by Europeans in the 1520s, with Spanish
explorer Alonso de Salazar sighting an atoll in August 1526. Other expeditions by Spanish and
English ships followed. The islands derive their name from British explorer JohnMarshall,who
visited in 1788.

The European powers recognized the islands as part of the SpanishEastIndiesin1874.

However, Spain sold the islands to the German Empire in 1884, and they became part of
German New Guineain1885.InWorldWarItheEmpireofJapanoccupiedtheMarshallIslands,
which in1919theLeagueofNationscombinedwithotherformerGermanterritoriestoformthe
South Paci c Mandate. In World War II, the United States conquered the islands in the Gilbert
andMarshallIslandscampaign.AlongwithotherPaci cIslands,theMarshallIslandswerethen
consolidated into the Trust Territory of the Paci c Islands governed by the US.

Immediately after World War II, the United States created a Joint Task Force to develop a
nuclear weapons testing program. During the period between 1945 and 1958, a total of 67
nuclear tests were conducted on Bikini and Enewetak Atolls and adjacent regions within the
Republic of the Marshall Islands. The most signi cant contaminating event was the Castle
Bravo test conducted on March 1, 1954. Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE)
