 | | War raging at two of the principal islands, we thought it best to commence our labours on one only, which was not the seat of war, and to which the chief we had brought from Togna belonged. | | | His body was but partially tataued, his only dress was a girdle or broad bandage round his loins, and his glossy, black, and curling hair was tied in a bunch on the crown of his head, while its extremities hung in ringlets on his shoulders. | | | This was sufficient, and Auura's friends were content that he should be supreme in his own district, but subordinate to the uncle of the late king, who had been the more successful candidate for the government of the island. |

| | The government has to reflect the proportions of the Congress, and the June 10 elections saw two women take leading positions in the 11-member government — a first for the Pacific Islands. | | | But Temaru secured the support of three elected “autonomists”: Phillippe Schyle, whose “autonomy party” Fetia Api has joined the UDP, former tourism minister Nicole Bouteau and Chantal Flores from the Austral Islands. | | | The resulting 29 votes elected UDP candidate Anthony Geros as assembly president, whereupon France’s overseas minister Brigitte Girardin threatened to cut off funding to French Polynesia should Temaru be elected president. |

| | Geologically speaking, the Marquesas, Tuamotus, Society Islands, Cook Islands, and Austral Islands are about the same age and made of the same kind of volcanic rocks as are the Hawaiian islands. | | | For the past 25 years, geologists have believed that the island chains of Polynesia were formed by lava from hot spots deep in the Earth's interior, perhaps starting near the Earth's metallic core. | | | Volcanoes in the Austral Islands are younger toward the southeast, as in Hawaii. |
