 Niuean History

Sourced from Kiddle and Kahn-Academy

Facts:

Niue is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean. It is 2,400 kilometres north west of New Zealand. Niue is often referred to as the “Rock of Polynesia.” The capital city of Niue is Alofi and the population is 1,626 people. 

Brief history: 

Niue was settled by Polynesians from Samoa around 900 AD and further settlers arrived from Tonga in the 16th century. The first European to sight Niue was Captain James Cook in 1744, he made three attempts to land in Niue but was refused entry by the people of Niue. No visitors followed Captain Cook for decades until 1830 with the arrival of the London Missionary Society. In the late 1800’s Niue reached out to Queen Victoria to help as they believed their island nation would be taken over by other settlers. A British Protectorate was put in place however Niue was brought within the boundaries of New Zealand on 11th June 1901 which limited the island to the coordinates of its area. Self government was restored by New Zealand in 1974 where Niue chose to self govern the county. Niue is now a free governing state in free association with New Zealand. New Zealand conducts most diplomatic relations on behalf of Niue. 

Hiapo: Niuean bark cloth

Little is known about early Niuean bark cloth or hiapo. The missionaries that arrived in 1830 from the London Missionary society brought with them Samoan missionaries who are believed to have introduced bark cloth to Niue. The earliest examples of hiapo were collected by missionaries and are dated to the second half of the nineteenth century. Niuean ponchos (tiputa) collected during this time are based on a style that had been previously introduced to Samoa and Tahiti. It is believed Niueans had a native tradition of bark cloth prior to the arrival of missionaries to the island nation. 

In the 1800’s a distinctive style of hiapo decorations emerged that incorporated fine lines and new ideas. Hiapo from this time are illustrated with complicated and detailed geometric designs. The patterns were composed of spirals, squares, triangles and concentric circles. A recurring pattern (motif) decreased in size from the border to the centre of the art work. Niueans created naturalistic motifs and were the first Polyneasians to introduce depictions of human figures into their bark cloth. Some hiapo examples include writing which is usually names which run along the edge of the overall design.

 Types of Māori Art

Sourced from Wikipedia

Māori visual art has four main forms: carving (whakairo), tattooing (ta moko), weaving (raranga), and painting (peita). These are not normally just for decoration; traditional Māori art was highly spiritual and would tell stories or information about spiritual matters, ancestry, and other important topics. The creation of art was governed by the rules of tapu (sacred spiritual and cultural rules and restrictions).

Carving

Carving was done with three materials: wood, bone, and stone. Wood carvings were used to decorate houses, fence poles, containers, taiaha and other objects. The most popular type of stone used in carving was pounamu (greenstone), a form of jade, but other kinds were also used, especially in the North Island, where pounamu was not widely available. Both stone and bone were used to create jewellery such as the hei-tiki. Large scale stone face carvings were also sometimes created. The introduction of metal tools by Europeans allowed more intricacy and delicacy, and caused stone and bone fish hooks and other tools to become purely decorative.

Ta moko

Ta moko is the art of traditional Māori tattooing, done with a chisel. Men were tattooed on many parts of their bodies, including faces, buttocks and thighs. Women were usually tattooed only on the lips and chin. Moko conveyed a person's ancestry. The art declined in the 19th century following the introduction of Christianity, but in recent decades has undergone a revival. Although modern moko are in traditional styles, most are carried out using modern equipment (a tattoo pen instead of a chisel). Body parts such as the arms, legs and back are popular locations for modern moko, although some are still on the face.

Weaving

Weaving was used to create numerous things, including wall panels in meeting houses and other important buildings, as well as clothing and bags (kete). While many of these were purely to use as bags, others were true works of art, taking hundreds of hours to complete, and often given as gifts. 

Cloaks in particular could be decorated with feathers and were the mark of an important chief. 

The extinction and endangerment of many of New Zealand birds made the feather cloak a more difficult item to produce. 

Painting

Although the oldest forms of Māori art are rock paintings, in 'classical' Māori art, painting was not an important art form. It was mainly used as a minor decoration in meeting houses, in stylised forms such as the koru. Europeans introduced Māori to their more figurative style of art, and in the 19th century less stylised depictions of people and plants began to appear on the walls of meeting houses in place of traditional carvings and woven panels.
