Tuvalu
Tuvalu is a small country of 9 islands and atolls in the Pacific Ocean with a population of around 11,000 people and a land area of around 26 square kilometers (about a tenth of the size of Washington D.C.). It is one of the smallest and most remote nations in the world!
The islands are about halfway between Australia and Hawaii.
Tuvalu has been inhabited for at least 2000 years, and maybe even 8000 years. Tuvalu, which was formerly known as the Ellice islands, came under British control in 1877. The islands were occupied by American forces and were bombed by the Japanese during World War Two. In 1974, the islands were granted self-governance under the control of Kiribati (another British colony and future island nation). The islands successfully voted to secede from Kiribati in 1975. Tuvalu was granted independence as a member of the commonwealth in 1978, and it became a member of the United Nations in 2000.
The island is predominantly populated by Polynesians, but Micronesians make up 4% of the population.
Protestantism was brought by missionaries to the islands, and 97% of the population belongs to the congregationalist Church of Tuvalu. There are small numbers of Seventh-Day Adventists and Baha’is on the island.
Tuvalu is currently a republic with a prime minister, Enele Sopoaga.
Farming and fishing are the main economic activities, as the island has few natural resources. Some Tuvaluans work mining phosphates on the neighboring island nation of Nauru.
The islanders have their own language, Tuvaluan. It and English are the official languages.
The nation is at risk of ceasing to exist as rising sea levels caused by climate change could drown the islands underwater.
Their are hotels on the island and the government wants tourists to come to the country. The country even has its own tourism site (timelesstuvalu.com). You can dive, snorkel and yacht in the ocean surrounding the islands. On the islands you can see traditional dances, American World War Two artifacts, and the national game of Ano (which translates to just “the ball”), which is similar to volleyball.
Tuvalu is country with a rich history and culture, and hopefully it won’t be lost to the ocean.

A detailed overview of contemporary life in the tiny South Pacific country of Tuvalu, this film documents the earth's first sovereign nation faced with total destruction due to the effects of global warming. With a population of about 11,000 living on a total landmass of only 20 square miles -- less than Manhattan -- spread over nine low-lying atolls 600 miles to the north of Fiji, Tuvalu has been inhabited for over four millenia. The warm-spirited and highly community-oriented people of this ex-British colony struggle to survive economically while confronting the likelihood of having to evacuate their homeland en masse within the next 50 years.

The first inhabitants of Tuvalu were Polynesians so that the origins of the people of Tuvalu is addressed in the theories regarding the spread of humans out of Southeast Asia, from Taiwan, via Melanesia and across the Pacific islands to create Polynesia.
The stories as to the ancestors of the Tuvaluans vary from island to island. On Funafuti and Vaitupu the founding ancestor is described as being from Samoa; whereas on Nanumea the founding ancestor is described as being from Tonga; These stories can be linked to what is known about the Samoa-based Tu'i Manu'a Confederacy, ruled by the holders of the Tu'i Manu'a title, which confederacy likely included much of Western Polynesia and some outliers at the height of its power in the 10th and 11th centuries. Tuvalu is thought to have been visited by Tongans in the mid-13th century and was within Tonga's sphere of influence. The extent of influence of the Tuʻi Tonga line of Tongan kings and the existence of the Tuʻi Tonga Empire which originated in the 10th century, is disputed.

Tuvalu (
i/tuːˈvɑːluː/ too-VAH-loo or /ˈtuːvəluː/ TOO-və-loo), formerly known as the Ellice Islands, is a Polynesian island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia. It comprises four reef islands and five true atolls spread out from 6° to 10° south. Its nearest neighbours are Kiribati, Nauru, Samoa and Fiji. Its population of 10,544 makes it the third-least populous sovereign state in the world, with only Vatican City and Nauru having fewer inhabitants. In terms of physical land size, at just 26 square kilometres (10 sq mi) Tuvalu is the fourth smallest country in the world, larger only than the Vatican City at 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi), Monaco at 1.98 km2 (0.76 sq mi) and Nauru at 21 km2 (8.1 sq mi).
The first inhabitants of Tuvalu were Polynesian people. In 1568 Spanish navigator Álvaro de Mendaña sailed through the islands and is understood to have sighted Nui during his expedition in search of Terra Australis. In 1819 the island of Funafuti was named Ellice's Island; the name Ellice was applied to all nine islands after the work of English hydrographer Alexander George Findlay (1812–1876). The islands came under Britain's sphere of influence in the late 19th century, when the Ellice Islands were declared a British protectorate by Captain Gibson, R. N. of HMS Curaçao between 9th and 16 October 1892. The Ellice Islands were administered as British protectorate by a Resident Commissioner from 1892 to 1916 as part of the British Western Pacific Territories (BWPT), and later as part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands colony from 1916 to 1974.

King Tide, The Sinking of Tuvalu - Trailer
Tuvalu is one of the smallest and most remote countries on earth. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it can barely be seen on most maps. The country is in danger of disappearing beneath the waves. Not an Atlantis myth but the reality of this century. Plans for evacuation are being made right now. Tuvalu is destined to become one of earth's first nations to be washed away due to the effect of global warming, making the Tuvaluans the first complete nation of climate refugees, banned from their home-islands, their culture and identity taken away. Beyond the appearance of an easygoing life, the threat to Tuvalu's future is an obvious danger that everyone has been forced to recognize. The highest point of Tuvalu is only four and a half meters above sea level. The average elevation is not even two... -

http://www.tvchoice.uk.com - 26 mins, 2004 Tuvalu, the South Pacific island nation, is in danger of vanishing under the sea. The islanders believe it is due to climate change caused by global warming. This film explains what global warming is and why environmentalists say it will cause flooding, not only in Tuvalu, but all over the world - including the UK. The inhabitants of Tuvalu believe they are seeing global warming in action. Rising seas and violent storms are destroying their islands, swamping their crops. The Tuvalu government is now suing the US and Australian governments for failing to control the levels of greenhouse gasses they emit. Meanwhile, many islanders are abandoning their country to live in New Zealand. But some scientists doubt that global warming is the root of t... -

Pacific Documentation - Lost World of The Pacific - Polynesian Islands Documentary Polynesia is characterized by a small amount of land spread over a very large portion of the mid and southern Pacific Ocean. Most Polynesian islands and archipelagos, including the Hawaiian Islands and Samoa, are composed of volcanic islands built by hotspots. New Zealand, Norfolk Island, and Ouvéa, the Polynesian outlier near New Caledonia, are the unsubmerged portions of the largely sunken continent of Zealandia. Zealandia is believed to have mostly sunk by 23 m.y.a. and resurfaced geologically recently due to a change in the movements of the Pacific Plate in relation to the Indo-Australian plate, which served to uplift the New Zealand portion. At first, the Pacific plate was subducted under the Australia... -
Plea from Tuvalu for Global climate action at Melbourne Walk Against Warming 2009
24 year old Leah from Tuvalu, spoke representing Make Poverty History, addressed the Melbourne Walk Against Warming Climate Rally detailing some of the effects of climate change being felt now and calling for an ambitious, fair and legally binding climate treaty from the Copenhagen Climate Conference. Tuvalu is at the frontline of the impacts of climate change, facing rising seas that will drown the small nation of 12,000 people. On December 12 2009, while the COP15 climate negotiations were taking place in Copenhagen, around the globe people protested for an ambitious, fair and binding climate treaty. These are photos from the Melbourne Walk against Warming. According to the ABC the Nature Conservation Council estimated 40,000 people took part in the march. Activists congregated... -

Tuvalu
Tuvalu is a small country of 9 islands and atolls in the Pacific Ocean with a population of around 11,000 people and a land area of around 26 square kilometers (about a tenth of the size of Washington D.C.). It is one of the smallest and most remote nations in the world!
The islands are about halfway between Australia and Hawaii.
Tuvalu has been inhabited for at least 2000 years, and maybe even 8000 years. Tuvalu, which was formerly known as the Ellice islands, came under British control in 1877. The islands were occupied by American forces and were bombed by the Japanese during World War Two. In 1974, the islands were granted self-governance under the control of Kiribati (another British colony and future island nation). The islands successfully voted to secede from Kiribati in 1975. Tuvalu was granted independence as a member of the commonwealth in 1978, and it became a member of the United Nations in 2000.
The island is predominantly populated by Polynesians, but Micronesians make up 4% of the population.
Protestantism was brought by missionaries to the islands, and 97% of the population belongs to the congregationalist Church of Tuvalu. There are small numbers of Seventh-Day Adventists and Baha’is on the island.
Tuvalu is currently a republic with a prime minister, Enele Sopoaga.
Farming and fishing are the main economic activities, as the island has few natural resources. Some Tuvaluans work mining phosphates on the neighboring island nation of Nauru.
The islanders have their own language, Tuvaluan. It and English are the official languages.
The nation is at risk of ceasing to exist as rising sea levels caused by climate change could drown the islands underwater.
Their are hotels on the island and the government wants tourists to come to the country. The country even has its own tourism site (timelesstuvalu.com). You can dive, snorkel and yacht in the ocean surrounding the islands. On the islands you can see traditional dances, American World War Two artifacts, and the national game of Ano (which translates to just “the ball”), which is similar to volleyball.
Tuvalu is country with a rich history and culture, and hopefully it won’t be lost to the ocean.

A detailed overview of contemporary life in the tiny South Pacific country of Tuvalu, this film documents the earth's first sovereign nation faced with total destruction due to the effects of global warming. With a population of about 11,000 living on a total landmass of only 20 square miles -- less than Manhattan -- spread over nine low-lying atolls 600 miles to the north of Fiji, Tuvalu has been inhabited for over four millenia. The warm-spirited and highly community-oriented people of this ex-British colony struggle to survive economically while confronting the likelihood of having to evacuate their homeland en masse within the next 50 years.

Tuvalu is one of the smallest and most remote countries on earth. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it can barely be seen on most maps. The country is in danger of disappearing beneath the waves. Not an Atlantis myth but the reality of this century. Plans for evacuation are being made right now. Tuvalu is destined to become one of earth's first nations to be washed away due to the effect of global warming, making the Tuvaluans the first complete nation of climate refugees, banned from their home-islands, their culture and identity taken away.
Beyond the appearance of an easygoing life, the threat to Tuvalu's future is an obvious danger that everyone has been forced to recognize. The highest point of Tuvalu is only four and a half meters above sea level. The average elevation is not even two.
But still, in spite of the evidence, many people in Tuvalu don't believe they will be forced to leave, and point to their bibles for proof. In the deeply Christian country, great faith is placed in the words of Genesis, which says that rainbows are proof God is keeping his covenant made with Noah to never again flood the earth. What is going to happen to a nation without their home islands to anchor what is left of their culture?

Tuvalu, the South Pacific island nation, is in danger of vanishing under the sea. The islanders believe it is due to climate change caused by global warming.
This film explains what global warming is and why environmentalists say it will cause flooding, not only in Tuvalu, but all over the world - including the UK.
The inhabitants of Tuvalu believe they are seeing global warming in action. Rising seas and violent storms are destroying their islands, swamping their crops.
The Tuvalu government is now suing the US and Australian governments for failing to control the levels of greenhouse gasses they emit. Meanwhile, many islanders are abandoning their country to live in New Zealand.
But some scientists doubt that global warming is the root of the problem. Instead they argue the storms are caused by short term changes in the weather and there's no real rise in sea levels. Other scientists are sceptical of the dangers of global warming and claim burning carbon dioxide actually brings a net benefit to the world. But meanwhile in Tuvalu, the waters are still rising...

Pacific Documentation - Lost World of The Pacific - Polynesian Islands Documentary
Polynesia is characterized by a small amount of land spread over a very large portion of the mid and southern Pacific Ocean. Most Polynesian islands and archipelagos, including the Hawaiian Islands and Samoa, are composed of volcanic islands built by hotspots. New Zealand, Norfolk Island, and Ouvéa, the Polynesian outlier near New Caledonia, are the unsubmerged portions of the largely sunken continent of Zealandia. Zealandia is believed to have mostly sunk by 23 m.y.a. and resurfaced geologically recently due to a change in the movements of the Pacific Plate in relation to the Indo-Australian plate, which served to uplift the New Zealand portion. At first, the Pacific plate was subducted under the Australian plate. The Alpine Fault that traverses the South Island is currently a transform fault while the convergent plate boundary from the North Island northwards is a subduction zone called the Kermadec-Tonga Subduction Zone. The volcanism associated with this subduction zone is the origin of the Kermadec and Tongan island archipelagos.
Out of about 117,000 or 118,000 square miles (300,000 or 310,000 km2) of land, over 103,000 square miles (270,000 km2) are within New Zealand; the Hawaiian archipelago comprises about half the remainder. The Zealandia continent has approximately 1,400,000 square miles (3,600,000 km2) of continental shelf. The oldest rocks in the region are found in New Zealand and are believed to be about 510 million years old. The oldest Polynesian rocks outside of Zealandia are to be found in the Hawaiian Emperor Seamount Chain, and are 80 million years old.
Geographic area
Polynesia is generally defined as the islands within the Polynesian Triangle, although there are some islands that are inhabited by Polynesian people situated outside the Polynesian Triangle. Geographically, the Polynesian Triangle is drawn by connecting the points of Hawaii, New Zealand and Easter Island. The other main island groups located within the Polynesian Triangle are Samoa, Tonga, the Cook Islands, Tuvalu, Tokelau, Niue, Wallis and Futuna and French Polynesia.
There are also small Polynesian settlements in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Caroline Islands, and in Vanuatu. An island group with strong Polynesian cultural traits outside of this great triangle is Rotuma, situated north of Fiji. The people of Rotuma have many common Polynesian traits but speak a non-Polynesian language. Some of the Lau Islands to the southeast of Fiji have strong historic and cultural links with Tonga.
However, in essence, Polynesia is a cultural term referring to one of the three parts of Oceania (the others being Micronesia and Melanesia). DNA studies suggest that the indigenous Pacific Islands population migrated from Taiwan thousands of years ago and dispersed throughout the region into three distinct cultural groups.

Cook's Bay on Moorea, French Polynesia
The following are the islands and island groups, either nations or overseas territories of former colonial powers, that are of native Polynesian culture or where archaeological evidence indicates Polynesian settlement in the past.[3] Some islands of Polynesian origin are outside the general triangle that geographically defines the region.

24 year old Leah from Tuvalu, spoke representing Make Poverty History, addressed the Melbourne Walk Against Warming Climate Rally detailing some of the effects of climate change being felt now and calling for an ambitious, fair and legally binding climate treaty from the Copenhagen Climate Conference.
Tuvalu is at the frontline of the impacts of climate change, facing rising seas that will drown the small nation of 12,000 people.
On December 12 2009, while the COP15 climate negotiations were taking place in Copenhagen, around the globe people protested for an ambitious, fair and binding climate treaty. These are photos from the Melbourne Walk against Warming.
According to the ABC the Nature Conservation Council estimated 40,000 people took part in the march. Activists congregated in front of the State Library where speeches ocurred before marching down Swanston Street through Melbourne's CBD to Princes Bridge, where they formed a human sign to call for more meaningful action on climate change.
