MELANESIAN

Educational for the World to know that we do exist as a Human Race. Melanesians originate from AFRICA via East Africa, India, Asia and into the Western Pacific... Papua New Guinea was our base before we migrated as far central as Fiji and as far west as the Torres Strait Islands and Cape York Peninsula on mainland Australia, including Our Kanaka South Sea Islanders of mainland Australia - descendants of the Melanesians of the Western Pacific taken into Queensland in the 1800's

The name MELANESIA was coined in 1832 by D'Urville in order to map the Pacific Ocean. We are a similar Race/National to Indo-Africans/Afrocoids/Negrittos....One People, Many Nations, Plenty of Languages!

My Melanesian Tribal Language is MAKURAAN
I'm not English/French or Pidgin English educated, but I have to use these 3 Common languages to COMMUNICATE with the Outside World of MELANESIA

My vision is to UNITE MELANESIA and work very closely in the near future with the MELANESIAN SPEARHEAD GROUP (An Organisation formed in 1993- Head Office in Port Vila/Vanuatu.
Melanesian Spearhead Group

Member countries:
Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu & Fiji.
Interested Members: Torres Strait Islands, East Timor, Autonomous Bougainville Island, New Caledonia and Aboriginal Australia. Your Face! Aboriginal Australia? Yes...Melanesians & Aboriginals of Australia originally come from AFRICA - Melanesians via India, Asia, PNG and Western Pacific. Aboriginals from AFRICA via INDIA and directly across to Australia. Their hair, language, chanting are similar to some parts of Southern India. So there you have it!

Hope by the end of 2008 early 2009 MSG will cover all these areas. The aim is to preserve THE CUSTOMS, CULTURE AND TRADITIONS of MELANESIA.
