Excellent research. Thank you. You can use *free pronunciation guides* on Google. Simply type the word you wish to say correctly and add the word _pronunciation._ A speaker icon appears with the word. You may speed up and slow down the pace at which to listen.
In French _oir_ or _oire_ it's typically pronounced wah. Hence, "histoire" comes out as _"east twa."_ It's not very complicated if you play it a few times and record yourself repeating after the guide.
I'm so happy you are doing this research. Finally, we can learn more about our islands!
Filipinos is a product of mixed Asians . You Asians need to relax 😂@Pares Racer & Ramen Rider
@@paresracerramenrider8933 the Philippines, like other countries, shouldn't let USA "experts" do anything with ur history of ancient ppl. They manipulate it to enhance their false story, and show distain for certain people. Their job is to demean others and shove Africa up our ass! Get them out of ur country! Call on Native archiologists from ur own ppl, it's their story too, they are more caring about it!
If Melanesians wanted to they would wipe out the Polynesians. So when you say the Polynesians pushed the Melanesians into the mainlands is a bunch of bullshiit
To sum everything up, Papua New Guinea is a mini South Pacific. We have Polynesia, Micronesia and us Melanesians in one country. Proud to be a Pacific Islander.
And you forgot Papuan, now it's all in one.
I would say Fiji is more like a mini south pacific since we have polnyesian blood in the Lau islands, and micronesian settlement in Rabi.
The motherland
@@Nagin-zt6sc what do you mean by 4 types of indigenous?
@@KWBPTV What do you mean we seem to accept the effects of colonisation more than black Americans? Please elaborate and be specific. We don't accept the effects of colonisation, we are a proud people proud of our culture that we still have. You black Americans (No offence) don't even know what part of Africa you come from so pls tell me what you mean by we accept the effects of colonisation more?
I'm Samoan with a large percentage of European blood and a 4% Melanesian. I'm proud of my Pacific DNA and no matter what these white people say about us and divided us by the color of our skin, our blood is thicker than water. We are one and as I learnt more about my Samoan history I came to find out that my Fijian forefathers settled and populated the island of Savaii. Anyone and everyone who has ties to Savaii shared the same DNA and link to Fiji.
No they didn't
@Jeff Iefata they didn't settle savaii though? That's quite a leap you're making
@@ChrisEAdlay dude Polynesians are created from male Melanesians.
On the other video it says Samoa civilians come from China. I’m trying to figure how my great grand daughter has Eyes like the Chinese
@@sallykemp1427 Samoans and Polynesians in general are a hybrid race between SE Asians (Austronesians) and Papuan (Melanesian) people. Basically they're Black (not African) from their forefathers and Asian from their mothers genetically. This happened about 1500-2000 years ago in the Pacific. They're like Tiger Woods.
However in the 1800s the Chinese went to many South Pacific Islands such as Samoa and mixed with the people making them even more Asian. However there are Samoans that still have the pure appearance and genetics like Tua Tagovailoa, Ardie Savea, Wild Samoans, etc. They look like Black people.
It's crazy when they said they first discovered the islands but islanders are already on the islands😂 😂😅
Same breath as how they say they have 26 letters so they're the first ones to see the light 😂😂😂
They mean from the POV of their civilisation. It’s like ancient Chinese explorers saying they first discovered India or the Middle East, they’re not wrong.. from their POV.
Ignorons les !...
@@user-nv5ve9ld7tthen it should be prefaced as such instead of implying that their view is the only view
@lineialquantum these people only wrote in european languages, meaning their works were intended for Europeans
Micronesia is the area with very little written up online. Yet it has these fascinating traces of advanced ancient civilization like Nan madol. Wish there was more written on this area. Polynesia because of its remoteness and beauty gets a lot of publicity and as a result seems less remote to me ironically.

One Love from Aboriginal Australia we been down here for a long time and witnessed the changes over thousands of years, a lot of culture is lost due to colonisation but it is still practiced in a lot of areas. We are all Cousins
Love your comment
L'aborigène d'Australie est le Premier, l'aîné de nous tous, dans le Pasifik...J'estime que, c'est le plus grand Pays de la Mélanésie...Les européens ont décidé de le classer autrement, mais peu importe, nous sommes Frères, pas Cousins !...
Thanks for sharing this! We are all Pacific Islanders, regardless of a few cultural differences. The colonizers are the ones who try to divide us, as usual. Keep spreading the knowledge man!
Adios
Well said! I appreciate it che'lu! We are one.
They didn't 'try'. They did.
@@pulanspeaks should we not make a movement that reflects the new age of knowledge and factually backed information? I think this is of the utmost importance. We can on one hand recognize a truth and that is all or we can recognize and take steps to wards uniting our people in a bigger way than ever thought possible. I would definitely participate in a movement towards uniting all Pacific Islanders under one name and have the maps and all people reflect and recognize it as such.
As a proud descendant of colonizers, I can tell you, with complete confidence, that my people have never had any interest in dividing you. If something we did happened to cause you to become divided, somehow, then, I can assure you, that wasn't why it was done.
I'm not saying that our actions didn't cause you to become divided. I don't doubt that that's what happened. I'm just saying that wasn't the reason for our actions. It's not so much that we like you, or we dislike you, or anything like that. It's just that no one gives a rat's ass about you, or about what happens to you. Pacific Islanders just aren't important, honestly. They never have been.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck, my Polynigga 👍🏿 God bless.
İ would even include Malagasy in Madagascar as belonging to the same group. Whether you'd still want to call it Pacific İslanders is another question.
İ find it interesting how a huge contiguous area with people sharing similar languages, cultures, and even physical characteristics stretching from Rapa Nui to Madagascar gets divided into three different "continent" by outsiders, a.k.a. Europeans.
And it's sad to see how some Philippines arguing about them being Asian or Pacific İslanders.
Arguing based on the division imposed by outsiders.
I am a Maluku Islander of West Melanesia,now known as Ambon!!Even though we are part of Eastern Indonesia, DNA and languages consider us to be part of Melanesia!My mother is Ambonese and AncestryDNA shows her to be part 50 percent Melanesian and the rest Austronesian!And this includes now I ndependent Timor Leste 🇹🇱And of course you know about West Papua.West Papua,Timor Leste,and Maluku are the often forgotten West Melanesians.
People from maluku utara are mostly austronesian
And the most ambonese people are mixed with austranesian and melanesian
@@jeweettoch1454 Just like many other Melanesians like Timorese, Fijians,Motuans(PNG),Mekeo(PNG),Trobriand Islanders,Mortlock Islanders (PNG),Solomon Islanders (Renell and Bellona).Us Moluccans aren't that special,being mixed Melanesian+Austronesian is normal and common in the Pacific!
@@jeweettoch1454 North Moluccans also actually speak Papuan languages too.They still have Melanesian blood whether they like it or not.Are you even Moluccan yourself?I noticed it's somehow controversial for us Moluccans to have our own unique identity,and that Non Moluccans especially Javanese/West Indonesians always speak FOR us.That is just very,very disrespectful and pretentious.If you aren't Moluccan,you have no right to speak for us.Simple as that,end of story.
@@gpl992 This is a very dangerous chauvinistic take. Yes, the Javanese specially elites from Jakarta overly dominate the conversation, but what is exactly a Moluccan? I'm 1/4 Moluccan (Hatusuppy clan) from my Oma. But also Batak Toba, Minahasan, and Dutch. Do you consider me to be Moluccan?

Ignorance fosters arrogance. There are no "primitive" humans, but there are humans that live in "primitive" circumstances. Humans make the situations work.. All humans have moral values, stories, and adaptability.

Love this as I already knew much of this. One thing I think should be added is that the Philippines was part of oceania - Polynesia until Dumont. When he got to the Philippines there was Dark tones and yellow tones . He basically didn't know which to put them with so he recatergorized them to Asia
Filipinos are SE Asians. Get over it. Accept your heritage
Makes sense, philippines has far more in common in South East Asia than Polynesia.
@@loolfactorie Philippines and Taiwan should be categorize as Micronesia based on geographical proximity.. lol
@@loolfactorie I'm indigenous Filipino and no we don't, they just came and colonized against our will (the 1st china town was built where?).
@@zeros-gy7blas another indigenous Filipino myself. I would say Philippines is obviously south East Asian especially our cultural and political ties to the rest of Asian and that also includes our language which is really similar to Indonesia and Malaysia.
We are Pacific Islanders and that matters more to us.
Thank you for sharing another informative video! You make a good point to remind us that the three-part geography came from colonialist perspectives, preoccupied with racial divisions of humanity. I like how you presented the facts and noted the source references, all within just a few minutes. Congratulations on the Patreon and keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! I am deeply grateful for you continued support!
@@pulanspeaks Hey, this presentation is racist. You should get a lot of flak from BLM, SPLC, NAACP, Wokers . . . but they won't since they don't want to be associated with Melanesians and Australoids.
Let keep it simple. Melanesian’s came from Australia Aborigenis Micronesian and Polynesia are from South East Asian and we are mixed with Melanesian and exist with harmony among each other cause we are not racist.
We are proud Pacific Islanders until some western racist popped up and start categorizing the islands based on what they believe... which is absolutely BS. Now they really make us come together to celebrate world's largest indigenous cultural unity ever. Great job PulanSpeaks, keep it coming Dangkulu na Si Yu'us Ma'asi.
You’re raging against people who lived hundreds of years ago?
@@eeeatenyou must be white. The mentality in this part of the world is still there. Maybe be quite.
Are you really claiming that there was unity between all Austronesian speakers from Madagascar to Rapa Nui and from New Zealand to Hawaii before Europeans came? That's some serious revisionist history. There was no such unity. There was fighting even between neighboring islands or on the same island. Moreover, there was almost certainly no knowledge of a shared Austronesian heritage. You have European linguists, archeologists and geneticists to largely thank for that understanding.
I know that much of this comment section is all about hating on white people, but at least don't make up nonsense to support your hate. Stick to your "colonizer" narrative, as that is at least based in reality. (Even though you ignore the fact that the Austronesian people themselves were colonizers of lands held by Papuan and Negrito type people.)
All i can say is, everything named is just a convenient categorization for the White explorers. It is not the people themselves or their neighbors who gave themselves or the other the name; Polynesia, Melanesia etc. White man named it. Native people most likely have a native name for their own homeland.
Did they though? They obviously had names for individual islands or island groups, but for the Oceanic islands as a whole? Or for larger divisions, like Polynesia, Melanesia, etc?
People don't tend to name regions like that except when they're dealing with other regions.
That's how they made sense of what they were seeing. It was European people writing for a European audience. If you have a different way of seeing it that's fine. But I seriously doubt that there was any kind of pan-oceania or pan-austronesian identity the way some of you are trying to claim.
Proud to be part Melanesian❤
I am a polynesian, you see different skin colour, depent where is the location of the island.
The people from Tuamotu is darker than the people from Austral island, may be because the wheather is more cold.
You find people more White where the climat is colder, darker where is hoter.
You are mostly fijian in origin from my lineage of tawhiri an hina your ancestors came from me an my lineage im from tribal lands of vanalevu an tavunie your our children
We conquered tamotu an society islands you belong to our lineage an tribal lines the people of marquees later was enslaved by us fijiantahitian of hotumatua.
Polynesian is a joke . French polynesia an fiji 🇫🇯 are the same people an hawaiians an etc was conquered an enslaved by us. Hina an tawahiri an tawaki and etc hotumatua created the true maori. Not this babies in new Zealand an etc mix European
This is so interesting and educational! We humans literally can't detach ourselves from something as simple a skin color. It's obviously a very faulty way of looking at geography but it looks like we're stuck with it for now. Gotta learn from our mistakes and apply said knowledge in the future.
nope, it was an accurate description for the day as that's what explorers did, they described what they saw and their interaction with the various peoples.
But recent genetics studies have confirmed much of what they were seeing in terms of phenotypic differences. It wasn't just based on nothing. Polynesians have more Austronesian ancestry than Papuan type ancestry, for example. Which explains the phenotypic differences they were noticing.
This is great info 🙏🏽
Excellent video !
Wow I loved this video, that was a question I have always had and where the origins of the split began and now I got my answer. I am going to do further research of Colonial Oceania, I love channels like yours.
Thank you for this.
Melanesia is the mother land of all pasifika.. that's where we first left our homes long ago for the open sky above the horizon! There's no 3 region but pasifika wave sailors that let home for the stars
Its the gateway to the Pacific
Literally all of our ancestor groups left the mainland through Papua. It’s the true motherland of Pacific Islanders. It’s also where our ancestors the “lapita” people evolved and migrated from
Taiwan is where the Austronesian people first came from. They later mixed with Papuan people and spread out from there.
@@cyberedge881 LIMA GANG.... 🖐😎
@@cyberedge881 Yes, the Lapita Civilisation was born from the hybrid of Austronesian and Papuan.

Kanaka Pacifica we stand
I was researching and I seen that for Micronesia and Polynesia, they divided us by geography and not by race and when they did divide the pacific islands by race, it was a yellow race (known today as Micronesians & Polynesians) and a black race (known today as Melanesians & aboriginal Australians). And what’s fxcked up about it is, these Europeans say “an admired yellow race” and “a vilified black race”. This what this book says:
“He adjudged Melanesians to be 'hideous' inappearance, limited' in languages and institutions, and generally very inferior
to the copper-coloured race in dispositions and intelligence, except where they had been improved by frequent communications and racial intermixture with Polynesians, as in Fiji. But he saved his most persistent obloquv for the Australians and Tasmanians who were 'probably the most limited, the most stupid of all beings and those essentially closest to the unreasoning brute'”
Disgusting right...I hope attitudes about race may change.
It's clear they really didn't know how to classify us pacific islanders
LOL, he was describing what he saw and for them that was fact, as the polynesians were and are better looking then the melanesians, was he wrong?
as to the other descriptions, I'd say anyone that was not them would be described in some negative manner
@@alcapone8193 lol Thinking Polynesians look better than Melanesians is not a fact. It’s an opinion. That’s how you feel. That’s what you believe. Facts are not based on your feelings or beliefs. Someone might like Melanesians more than Polynesians and that would be their opinion. None of these are facts.
@@uts4448 LOL yes maybe your right on the subject some might prefer melanesians but in the modern era we live in but in their era, no your wrong.
and on the subject of wether the polynesians are better looking then melanesians , are you blind ?
LOL please, there is no contest

Wether you are melanesian, micronesian or polynesian. We all are one ❤ the people of the pacific. We originate from the motherland, ethiopia, africa 👌 all our coloured people are one 💯
In wikipedia said that dumont also add the 4th label malisia/ malaysia which area include malay archipelago today. Is it true ? This also how modern day country malaysia got it name.
Excellent video. So many ethnic/racial/cultural labels are imposed by outsiders (generally Europeans) and do not reflect how people on the ground understood themselves and their relationships to other groups at the time.
We are connected by sea. We are the Sea People. One love to all my Islanders! ❤️
You are a delight to learn from. Thanks. I did an anth degree about 20yrs ago, and learnt the cannon. Been learning to decolonise my thinking ever since. Far more nuance than clunky Victorian models.
So why is it that these outdated classficstion hold true today ? Modern genetic testings show that the ploynesians can be traced back to modern day Taiwan and the darker melannesians to southern africa
3:55 “The DARKER skin..” that emphasis was felt

@@Miss_Hannahno humans continue to live on islands, their descendants must live on the mainland first... starting in Africa to Arabia to Persia to India to Burma then to Southeast Asia such as Malaysia and Indonesia then to Papua, Australia and finally to Oceania... the faces of Polynesian, Micronesian people are almost the same as Austronesians... only they have bigger bodies, due to mixing with Melanesians... not only language, dna studies also say that... Oceania people are descendants of Austronesians
In Papua New Guinea, there is a mix of all pacific looking Islanders in the country. In the New Guinea Island region, they have Polynesian people in all their islands too. The cultural dances of people in manus island are similar to the Polynesian rather then the mainland New guinea,
The section of the population being of Polynesian among the Melanesian majorly in all the island province in PNG and also in the Solomon islands..
They aren't Polynesians if they are Melanesian natives.
thats true. Many polynesian islands with polynesian-speaking natives are part of Niu Gini which is interesting but not surprising at all. This isn't news to natives of PNG but is shocking to ppl who aren't or never visited. Again, the colonist mentality is strong is so strong in others how coudl this possible be??

Whenever you hear Europeans tell the histories of the pacific islands, don’t take it serious.
Exactly, same as Columbus discovered America while there were already people living over there. Looking like Polynesian / Malenesian so they been there already 100’s of years before

Well the term for the Malay Islands is called Malayanesia it was Coined in 1871 by Edward Balfour as a further divide
Wasn't it called Hesperonesia?
@@kr431 That's what some white European man came up with for the Malay Peninsula Archipelago Region that's why I put it so anybody can research it. I'm down with it. If u really look at it, the map the name, the group of islands like I did recently it didn't make sense in a lot of ways how white people chopped that part of the world up & especially with the international date timeline. So u really got the Malay Peninsula & Archipelago, Australia, Micronesia, & Polynesia. Go look at it I'm like huh? So look at all the island groups/archipelagos the groupings don't make since lol. I looked at it and followed the island chains with my finger like okay Malay Peninsula & Archipelago from Tanintharyi/Kanchanaburi Malay Peninsula to Solomon Islands, then Australia Continent, then New Caledonia & Vanuatu to New Zealand to Easter Island to Hawaii is a continuous groups of islands next to each other, then the Micronesia Islands together. Plus the term Melanesia was a racist skin color term more than a region u can look that up to.
@@kr431 Oh I'm so sorry I did not explain it right 😂 lol. I know that ain't a part of the Pasifika Region lol. I was just saying culturally/racially it is a part of Oceania Culturally like Southern North America is Culturally apart of South America or tha Chagos Islands is a part of Asia but Culturally/Racially is a part of Africa or Egypt is a part of Africa but it is Culturally a part of Asia lol
@@kr431 Yes well it's all connected first of all the Portuguese conquered Malacca in 1511 with a slave/free/runaway Latin army from Latin Europe of Muslims, Jews, Gypsies with Christian slave masters, then with that they colonized the whole Malay Peninsula through enslaved/free/runaway Black Malaccans & White/Middle Eastern Latins with plantations & slave raids. Then in 1527 they gathered a slave/free/runaway army of Malays & Latins and stormed Jakarta and took over and through Malacca by way of Jakarta they took over the entire Malay Archipelago except the Philippines. Then in 1519 a slave/free/runaway army of Blacks, Middle Easterners, Whites, Native Americans from Havana stormed Veracruz and took over there then conquered the Aztec Empire in Ciudad Mexico in 1521 then in 1550 they captured Acapulco. Then in 1565 they sailed to Cebu with that mixed race status army to conquer them then in 1570 stormed Manila and took over there. The Spanish & Portuguese was all ready in the Moluccas with the Sultanate of Ternate in Ternate being captured in 1512 by the Portuguese then in 1521 the Sultanate of Tidore was captured by they Spanish. So everythang between Sulawesi and New Guinea was captured and partitioned between the Spanish the Sultanate of Tidore & the Portuguese controlling the Sultanate of Ternate. Then in 1565 the expedition from Manila teamed up with the Sultanate of Tidore in Tidore to form a alliance for tha Spanish Empire. Then in 1513 the Portuguese established Portuguese Tamão in current day Hong Kong spreaded to Macau & Canton current day Guangzhou and got Chinese slaves from there to Malay Peninsula & Archipelago. Then in Spanish took over Netherlands from the Holy Roman Empire when the Charles V Habsburg took over most of the world from inheritances of Northern Europe from his father & Southern Europe from his mother the omen, perfect child, the best of both worlds into the Habsburg Empire the biggest empire in history & the most powerful wealthiest king in history & did not do any better with storming the Portugal & the Portuguese Empire into the Habsburg Empire the most powerful biggest empire in history. Then he commissioned the Manila Galleon Trade from Macau, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, to Manila, Philippines to Borneo, Sulawesi, Ternate/Tidore Moluccas, New Guinea back n fort between each other to Palau, Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, Kosrae, Marianas, Marshall Islands, Hawaii, Alta California, Baja California, Nuevo Navarre, Mexico, Nuevo Mexico, Tejas, to Havana then from Havana to Louisiana, Florida, Cuba, Bahamas, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru then also visa versa from Manila to Lima, Peru to Guayaquil, Ecuador to Buenaventura, Colombia to Cartagena, Colombia to Havana to either Louisiana or Saint Augustine, Florida to Praia, Cabo Verde to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canaries to Funchal, Madeira to Ponta Delgada, Azores aka Macaronesia to Lisbon, Portugal to Seville, Spain and they would supply Muslim, Gypsy, Jewish slaves from Europe and Muslim, Gypsy, Jewish, Voodoo Practitioners from Africa to Macaronesia to the Galleons and New World Slaves, Freemen, Runaways Peyotism, Cargo Cult, Tapu, Inafa'maolek, Anito, Aliran Kepercayaan Practitioners, Jews, Gypsies, Muslims from Oceania & Latin America to Macaronesia visa versa so it's all interconnected.......

Well well done thank you for sharing ploy bless you 🙏 my USO
Ummm, you are somewhat correct.
Negerji Tabahan was one region and one race of Nwords
Therefore indo-china were multiracials of color "Blacks" yet the Nword king of Mohren lived in Bali kr Java.
This royal family of Negroes also ruled over the entire Mohrlandt (East Indies, West Indies, indien Oceanic, as well as Abyssinia, Egypt, and Eastern Afrika.
Nwords come in all colors including Albinos "Whites".
Thats why there was once Indo-China, Indo-Europe, Indo-Afrika, and Indo-Amerikas.
There was no race until King Race demanded people be split up by colour.
Prior to that whites were called Witte Nword
OMG....how is this not de-monetized?
what do you mean
I just saw my Island OF (KOSRAE)
The people who originated the Polynesians are our Arafura people from the Wallacea line. Contrary to popular belief, we are NOT Austronesian, we are Melanesian paternally and only gradually have Austronesian influx from the maternal side. The Arafuru / Alifuru people invented outrigger canoe technology and traded heavily with the Papuan neighbors, and the later people who would inhabit Borneo and Manado and Philippines.
So I’m confuse. Sorry I’m still learning the history. Found out I have trace of Melanesian. I have no clue on which island, tribe etc. I’m trying to piece my family ancestors history. All I know I have Italian, Greek, Caucuses, North Africa (did not specified), Senegal, and Samaritan Cohanim (descended from Menasseh, Ephraim and Levi). I can’t figure out how they found traces of Melanesian when that’s no where close to the Mediterranean.
Makes sense. Maluku Indonesia area. Mixed slightly with Papuan/Melanesian DNA. And carried on. The native Maori dog originated in Bali
Thank you for pointing this out. Filipinos and Malays in general want to stronghold Polynesians as if they're theirs yet ignore the Melanesian input.
Long story short, Austronesian females mated with Melanesian males to create Polynesians.
@@heerarodriguez9563 True, that is the most basic explanation where polys came from. They are the result of intermixing between Austronesians and Australo-Melanesian.
@Los Dogg maori dog originated from bali? Wow that kintamani dog
But having Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia makes sense, as they are different yet share some similarities. Melanesian's and Polynesians even battled one another in ancient times.
The result of my google search was somewhat surprising to me. I searched: DNA admixture of the Fijians and it said Asian and 30% Melanesian.

What is your ethnic background?
I love you Polynesian 🏝️🌺🇵🇫🇼🇫🇼🇸🇨🇰🇹🇴👍🏻💪🏻💪🏻
The history of immigration of Pacific Islanders has more to do with where the immigrants came from originally. For example Fiji snd Papuan New Guinea are Melanesian or dark skinned Pacific Islands. Whereas Places like Tahiti have oriental or Polynesian skinned peoples. Their traditions are similar from the Cook Islands to Tuvalu and even Hawaii. Some dialects have similar words. We’ve traveled extensively in Fiji over the last 2 decades. It’s rich traditions and intact village way of life is dramatically different than say Hawaii. The Ratu or Chiefs still head each village and represent their villages in parliament. Vastly different than the disgusting way Queen Liliuokalani was deposed jailed and every possession sold at auction. It was savage. A very sad history indeed. 😔
It is a shame this placed on you guys all three race divisions. I'm Black American (trust me we know) and it sucks you guys have got knocked down from culture and tradition to savage to non-savage ranking. Y'all are all amazing.
The Frenchman's idea of refering to all races of the specific, as Polynesians would have worked well .
" people of Many Islands " NO tribes or races , which may insinuate that one is maybe more advance than the other ... As it is , Polynesians carry both Micronesian and Melanesian genes... and vice versa..,👺🌏🐢🐬🌴..
MAORI HAAARD!!!
crazy
@pulan are you chamorro 🇬🇺
I'm from Aotearoa, descend from the chief navigators. It wasn't a racial division, it was an ancestral division. We all came from y dna ancestor cm130, all indigenous outside of Africa descend from him. These were the first navigators, some of our sibling lines merged with the pre hominid species, and that is what set us apart, this was called breaking the tapu. Polynesian original ancestor was given the right to occupy the new world when we first came out, that's what every other tribe has seem to forgotten
are there any Maori navigators today?
@@santospaul8103 yes
@@medit8iv_native970 they are called tongans and samoans LOL
@@alcapone8193 yea come back when you have learned dna
This is bullshit
Tahiti & rapanui is the father of all Polynesian
Takitumu tribe in tahiti is the legendary tribe of South Pacific & Eastern Pacific too
"imposed"?
Thank you that is all very interesting I did ancestry match, and I came back to matching up In Asian China and East India and lots of Asian islanders and I matched all three of those areas a little bit too, but thru time perhaps all of us do have bits and pieces. My highest match was in India, and then 2nd was in China and then 3rd was in Africa, and I look white, but I have B positive blood type, so it was all a reality for me plus I matched percentages in lots of other Asian countries!!
Theres more to the pavific than those 3. Philippines is next to Palau Micronesia and influenced it with migration and trade. Indinesia and malay and even japan are part of the Pacific.
ALOHA
I'm not saying it was ancient aliens
Hafa Adai! Regarding the description of "Taboo" or "Tabu" as practiced by the Micronesians, how is "Taboo" defined according to European cartographers and how is it different from Polynesians or any other cultures? Just wondering.
This concept of Taboo, or Tabu, or in Maori, Tapu, varies between all cultures, all over the Pacific, because a practice that is perfectly fine in one culture or more, is not acceptable in another, and even within the same culture, like Maori, this is a topic with various differences, and various practices as a result.
Europeans, either derisively oppose, or totally ignore, the cultures that have these practices, and it is these two forms of resistance and suppression that causes the most harm.
On top of that, there is the growing view from Europeans, that these can be exploited for profit in the nations the Europeans have colonised in the past, but for the profit of Europeans only, not the profit of the culture that it comes from.
You claim that the divisions "do not reflect how Pacific people view their islands." Okay. Fair enough.
But i would think that a more important question is whether or not these three divisions represent anything meaningful about the culture and history of Pacific peoples. After all, all kinds of peoples hold all kinds of inaccurate views about themselves - mostly harmless beliefs in most cases, but not always, but inaccurate regardless. You need only look at various countries with written language traditions going back 3-4 millenia to see how research can often correct long-held identity beliefs. Surely you wouldn't want to deny Pacific peoples this same opportunity.
Of course we should dispense with constructs built on obsolete racial theories. That just strikes me as an interesting historical side-note.
Hafa adai! I agree with you and I actually already have a separate video discussing that very topic to be released at the end of March! Be on the look out! And consider supporting me on Patreon, you're support will be a great help so that I may release more videos!
@@pulanspeaks Ah, okay. Excellent. I'm a starving academic (on the miserable job market) so no Patreon funds for me to spend right now. But I'll continue watching your videos in my spare time. It is always nice to learn what scholars in other fields have to say.
The inferiority/superiority perception based on skin color was not based on skin color in reality, but by lifestyle. Melanesians seemed "inferior" to the europeans because they lived a free lifestyle where they are not ruled by a sovereign power and instead ruled by chiefs who are appointed by the tribe, and weren't as venturesome as the Polynesians which resulted in them only ever really staying where they are. Polynesians seemed "Superior" because they lived a lifestyle of order. They had hereditary roles rather than appointed roles like the melanesians. Warriors were only warriors by blood, and chiefs were only chiefs by blood. This system kept order in their societies, so they were able to become more organized due to a higher sense of unity. Polynesians are homogenous, and their languages are all very very similar while the melanesians had hundreds of languages where no one sounded like the other, so there was more chaos among melanesians and less unity. One thing melanesians lacked that the Polynesians possessed was a huge sense of pride, which drove them to become absolutely fearless of the ocean and able to navigate confidently through vast distances. Melanesians kept to their land, hence why melanesians dwelled on islands bigger than the polynesians and micronesians.
In conclusion, the superiority complex of the islanders were not due to genetics, or skin color, but more on the lifestyle and societal structure of certain islands. We are all human, we all have a brain and it only depends on how we used it.
Well said palala
Wrong. Race for Europeans has always been an issue for division. If your hypothesis was correct, then why did they not respect the many African kingdoms and empires in the Americas?
@lanapapas
Because there were no African kingdoms and empires in the Americas.
There only ONE race in the World *THE HUMAN RACE* & we all go back to One Woman & One Man !!!!!

Is Australian aboriginals Austronesian
Polynesians were mostly dark skin centuries ago
They navigated them to the last islands🤧😅
Especially Kanaka Maoli pure Hawaiians but white settlers came
Exact Bro !....
Je suis mélanésien...j'ai effectivement vu, connu et côtoyé des polynésiens de parents polynésiens, à la peau allant de cuivrée, à foncée...
Are there more appropriate, less racially charged terms, that we could use to describe the Oceanic regions?
I vote for “people of the sea”
“Pacific Islanders”, “Austranesians”, “People of Oceania”, “Nesians” (extracted from MelaNESIA, MicroNESIA, and PolyNESIA). Those are possible names we can pick one from.
You can call us the Moana people. Not Disney related, but Moana means ocean.
@Nagin-zt6sc Yeahh but people can stick with islander tho 😂 Since that's our main classification.
Uh yeah- there's already a term for us(that includes all of us).... Pacific Islanders 💀
