Oceania

Mostly, Tahitians.... the island is a tourist destination more than an industrialized society. So other than 'native handcrafts' for selling to tourists, not much..sarongs, maybe?

Micronesia belongs to Micronesia.

The Hawaiian Islands and many other volcanic islands in our oceans were formed by a hot spot situated under the middle of a tectonic plate. It is beneath the center of the plate, and, therefore, it does not move as the plate moves. It is a magma source, and magma spews out of it onto the Earth's surface on the plate to form lava mountains, eventually rising high enough above the sea to become volcano islands. These volcano islands are situated above the plate, so they move along with the plate when it continues its movement. Since the hot spot does not move, the volcano on the island is no longer above the hot spot and therefore becomes extinct as it is cut off from its magma source. In time, a new volcano island then forms on top of the hot spot in the new location on the topside of the plate that is now situated over the hot spot, and the cycle continues creating more volcanic mountains and islands.

Papua New Guinea's road to independence is quite complicated.

The northern half of Papua New Guinea was known as German New Guinea after it came under German control in 1884, while the southern half was known as British New Guinea, later renamed to Papua in 1904. During WWI, the island was occupied by Australian troops to defend the British half. When the Treaty of Versailles was established after World War I, Australia administered German New Guinea, and the British part of the island came to be considered an External Territory of the Commonwealth of Australia, though it was still "owned" by Britain. The two territories were regarded as separate territories, known as 'Papua' and 'New Guinea'.

After the New Guinea Campaign of World War II, the two territories came together as 'Papua New Guinea'. Australia still administered Papua New Guinea until the country was granted full independence on 16 September 1975. Papua New Guinea's Head of State is still the Queen of England, just as Australia's is, as it remains a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

It is not a continent, it is a geographical region, although it has to be said that more and more people seem to be using it as a continental term. It is sometimes used as a geopolitical term as well.

Guam is now a cultural and culinary melting pot with Filipino, Chinese, Japanese, and Hawaiian influence. Some common foods are:
* red rice, which is cooked with achiote/annatto seeds,
* kelaguen which is similar to ceviche but with various proteins such as barbecued
chicken, raw fish, or even rare beef, Philippine deer, and even SPAM.
* various types of pancit are also made,such as bihon, sotanghon, and canton
* arroz caldo, which is a rice porridge with chicken
* empanadas
* beef tinaktak, which is beef cooked in coconut milk and local veggies
* SPAM sushi
* pickled green mangoes and green papaya

Now these are all from my memory. I grew up on Guam and these are the most memorable, in my opinion.

I remember playing Elastics, Tops, Kites (Kite Fighting) and Marbles with glassies, 1 kind, 2 kind, 3 kind and 4 kind sizes.

According to the CIA World Factbook, 52% of Tuvalu's income is generated by services. Their chief source of service revenue is from leasing their domain name, .tv; their own websites actually use the .com domain. The rest of Tuvalu's income comes from tourism, fishing, and copra production.

The Dutch and Portuguese began trading with the native Papua New Guinean people during the sixteenth century, but they did not colonise the country.

Papua New Guinea was colonised when Germany took control of the northern half in 1884, and Britain took control of the southern half the same year.
