An aunt of mine went over there after graduating from high school in Columbus, Ohio in 1952 as part of a Christian missionary group. She remained active there until 1985. She's gone now, but left behind thousands of pictures of the island from the time she arrived, literally met by headhunters to the new modern buildings in the city. Small three wheeled vehicles donated by Honda, enabled them to unload supplies in Port Moresby and take them back into the jungle. She showed the family hours of film footage, then became big on the civic organization presentation circuit. One damned brave womans She was one of about twenty women from the States that worked there. They were called missionaries at the time. She even came back with an Australian accent. Amazing woman.
Hi, as a Papua New Guinean im intrigued by your aunt's story. Are you able to share your aunt's films or pictures? I believe they would be treasured by my people if publicly released or shared on a platform such as this one. As mentioned in this video our history is largely undocumented and most of our younger generations (particularly Millenials) have no idea at all about the origins of our modern day contemporary society.
@@taritoish My aunt was over there from the late 1950's until the early 1980s. The situation had gotten worse when drugs started coming in. The pictures and videos dubbed from film are not as good as what is on RUclips and other sources. Between the more recent missionaries and NatGeo, they have it pretty well covered. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you so much for making this video. This is much more detailed than many of the videos on youtube. And your pronounciations of the places and people are on point 🙏 Also, just fyi Sir Michael Somare just recently passed away on 26th February 2021. Love from PNG🖤💛❤
Finally,a very unbiased and a good presentation on my country, I appreciate the effort you put into the research. Great job😊💯 The media has always misrepresented us but you have cleared the air so much with this presentation. You have my respect bro, Good job💯🇵🇬🙌
Thanks for the wonderful story on PNG. There are a lot stuff which I never knew like the former names of New Ireland & Kimbe, in East New Britain & West New Britain. Kevin Alotau, Milne Bay Province, PNG
I was very fortunate to spend a month in PNG. We were based in Waigani. There is so much to learn, see and explore. With over 800 dialects and so many cultures. Too much to detail in a comments section. I hope to go back some day. Hopefully foreign corporate interest do not do too much damage to this absolutely stunning place.
I clicked on this expecting a biased and selective take. Congratulations on a respectful and balanced retelling and to all the work you did to make this content. Thank you for the care taken to treat this properly and please take my subscribe as a gesture of my appreciation.
I have never heard of the two names you mentioned...the Europeanz that discovered PNG...could you link resources you used? Apparently, A Portuguese man named Don Jorge de Meneses was credited with the European Discovery of the mainlan of PNG around 1526-27
A fair fair presentation of Papua Nee Guinea....though, I treat it just as a summary, abit loosely taled, but still ok, regarding the presentation duration limit...that was a fast fly-over brief of Png. A point to make here, though the southern part was British then Australian colonised, the interior highlands region was not colonised until the 1930s and up. So you see the difference in general behavioural patterns of Papua New Guineans. Coastals, though varied in tribes, languages, customs and behavioiral habits, being exposed much earlier to westernisation, appear more orderly, peaceful and being able to intergrate than the highlands segment of the nation, who were and are the opposite,.
I really appreciate your video and that it doesn't start with colonizers. I also don't think we need to ever sugarcoat the role or intent of colonizers. We know what their intentions were - and it was barely ever to "understand" the people. It was to claim their land & resources. We can say that. I think we need to get really comfortable with being uncomfortable about history. Because it is.
@@alanbstard4 Australians who? Australian government? The same one who committed genocide on its people? Which administration(s) are you referring to - and how do you explain/reconcile that contrast?
@@BrownGirlsThink there was no genocide by the Gov't or anyone else. Anyone who harmed the natives was punished accordingly. You accusation requires a source ruclips.net/video/9auakfnAaOs/видео.html
@@alanbstard4 Are you being serious right now? Have you watched Rabbit Proof Fence? Just as a starter kit. Have you studied the Stolen Generations? Have you not heard of Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's formal apology for the Stolen Generations in 2008, where he was referring to the actual Australian government policies of forced child removal and indigenous assimilation? Have you not heard of the Australian massacres from 1788 to 1920 that decimated the First Nation population, at the hands of the colonizers who founded the country? This is global history, documented in multiple sources. Try a simple search of "Australian Genocide" and hear it from the voices of the indigenous there, CulturalSurvival.org. or Australian.Museum or The Guardian.com as a global source or even the List of Massacres of Indigenous Australians on something as basic as Wikipedia. For Books, try "Australia's Unthinkable Genocide" or "Genocide and Settler Society" to name a few. There are endless accounts. What are your sources that claim none of this?
@@BrownGirlsThink That's fictional BS and the stolen generations were not stolen. They were removed as half caste kids were in danger in the tribal environment. " Stolen " is a misleading term applied for political reasons
I hope you can tell us about West Papua, which is part of Indonesia today, because we also want to feel independence like our brothers and sisters in Papua New Guinea, because we are still one soul and one land, Our Current Generation Is Losing Our Past History.
Thanks for making this video. My paternal grandparents were Chinese people living and working in Rabaul, but I have a feeling they were quite traumatised by the Japanese occupation of Rabaul so they never really talked about that time. My dad doesn't have a lot of positive things to say about "the natives" (yikes) but given how much civil unrest there has been over the centuries it's not surprising they weren't friendly to foreign workers.
wow! I went to school with a Chung downtown in Rabaul, her fam had lived in New Britain for some time. I ate snake for the first time at her place lol. There is a large contingent of Chinese established in Rabaul.
worst thing for PNG was independence from Australia and the worst thing Australia did was having anything to do with world bank. British Empire still existed post WW2 and I don't think it would allow globalisation. Japan was beaten back by Australian troops prior to arrival of US troops
I wonder if the different people of Papua New Guinea had issues with foreign diseases from all of the new contact with Europeans, or if that only happened with Native Americans.
@@StateofNations Missionaries thought my grandparents how to read and write and if they never learned how my family would have never moved from the jungle and I probably wouldn't be writing this.
As a Papua New Guinean I can't really say anything about missionaries since they were the ones who taught my parents and grandparents how to read and write, and if they never did my family would probably be still living in the jungle and I wouldn't have a RUclips channel. Eventhough I am Christian I still highly value my cultural heritage.
@@timtam3730 I was part of a Mission to PNG. For many of us it is more of a learning experience than a teaching experience. I certainly learned so much. Even about myself. I would love to go back someday.

Correction Quite
Like to see a documentary on the people of Papua New Guinea perspective their history.
I hope you can tell us about West Papua, which is part of Indonesia today, because we also want to feel independence like our brothers and sisters in Papua New Guinea, because we are still one soul and one land, Our Current Generation Is Losing Our Past History.
Colonialism truly tore these people apart for no reason
Niu Gini is truly the mother of the Pacific

Will you do Turkey State of Nations episode?
I'll definitely make that video soon

Its not tar-oe .Its taro.really good video👍👍

Whenever i hear the words missionarys came to the land i get nervous.
As you should be. It often means the death of local culture religion and the beginning of oppression
