1767 August 16 English explorer Captain Samuel Wallis discovers the island of Uvea which his officers rename Wallis Island.
1768 May French explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville sights the Horn Islands. Bougainville is uncertain as to whether he has discovered one island or two and strong cross winds make it impossible for him to land. He incorrectly decides it is one and calls it La Solitaire but soon changes this to L'Enfant Perdu (Lost Child).
1781 April 21 Spanish navigator Francisco Antonio Maurelle sights Wallis which he names, “the Isle of Consolation.”

1841 April 28 Father Chanel is killed on orders of King Niuliki who believes that the first Futunan conversions have desecrated the sanctity of his royal powers.
  During the Year Monsignor Jean Baptiste Pompallier returns from New Zealand and baptizes 2,500 Wallisians.
1842 April 5 The native rulers of Wallis request the establishment of a French protectorate over the islands. Shortly thereafter the kingdoms of Alo and Sigave on Futuna make similar requests.
  November 4 The King of Uvea (Wallis), Soane Patita Vaimua Lavelua, concludes a treaty of peace and commerce with France and requests French protection for a free and independent state. King Louis Philippe takes Lavelua’s request under advisement and sends him a double barrel shotgun and a horse.
1843   France turns down the kingdoms’ request for protection but sends a resident advisor to them. Monsignor Pierre Battalion is named Vicar Apostolic of Central Oceania.
  September Françoise Perroton, a 47 year old tutor in Lyon, comes across a letter to the Christians of Lyon from to Wallisian women Susana and Amelia, “We have already received much evidence of your charity and we now make another request, it is to send to us, if you love us, some pious women, some sister, to teach the women of Uvea.”
1846 October 23 Françoise Perroton arrives in Wallis after an 11 month voyage aboard L'Arche d'Alliance.

Perroton begins teaching three young islanders including the King’s daughter Amelia.
1854   Françoise Perroton, having pursued her mission without assistance for 12 years, overcome by the infirmities of age, sickness and difficulties with the Wallisian language decides to return to Lyon but the boat gets only as far as Futuna where she decides to continue her teaching.
1858   Three missionary sisters arrive in Futuna to assist Françoise Perroton in her work and establish a community of the summit of a butte overlooking Ono Pass.

1926 August 20 Adventurer Alain Gerbault arrives aboard his 12 meter yacht Firecrest and is welcomed to Wallis by the main trader Jules Brial and the French Resident, Doctor Georges Barbier. Gerbault takes up the cause of Wallisians pressing for an end to the Fatogia Faka Uvea, tribute paid to the Chiefs, the mission and the administration in money, goods or labor and the construction of a local prison so that local convicts would no longer be shipped to New Caledonia. Their demands go unmet but Gerbault’s three month sojourn leaves a lasting impression on Wallisians many of whom wish to make Gerbault their king.

1942 May 27 Free French High Commissioner for the Pacific, Georges D’Argenlieu, dispatches a Free French Resident, Jean Baptiste Mattei, to Wallis aboard the sloop Chevreuil. The Vichy Resident, Léon Vrignaud, is arrested upon the arrival of his replacement and sent to Nouméa. The action comes in the wake of rumors that the American are about to occupy the islands. The Gaullists hope to preclude an extension of the tacit agreement between the United States and Vichy to respect the latter’s sovereignty over the French colonies in the West Indies.
  May 28 The United States lands 2,600 Marines land on Wallis Island and establishes Navy Base 207 as an advance base for the counter offensive against the Japanese in the Coral Sea. Six thousand American are stationed on Wallis. They build roads, a naval station at Gahi, landing fields at Lavegahau and Hihifo and dredge a chanel in the Halalo Lagoon. The American Army recruits some 150 Wallis and Futunans for work in New Caledonia.
1944   The vast majority of American troops are withdrawn from Wallis.
    Doctor Robert Charbonnier is appointed French Resident in Wallis & Futuna.
1946 March 25 A group of Wallisians led by a pistol wielding American Captain identified in various reports as Zinchek or Z march on the home of French Resident Doctor Robert Charbonnier to demand American annexation of the island and the departure of the French. Charbonnier contacts King Leone Manikitoga who denies any knowledge of the matter then tells the crowd that anyone who wishes to be American may leave the island with Z.
    Doctor Charbonnier meets with the King, the king’s chancellor, a delegation of 11 Wallisians and Captain Zinchek in the Residence. The meeting ends in a standoff. Zinchek threatens to raise the Stars and Stripes and demands a plebiscite. Doctor Charbonnier threatens to contact Paris, although he later admits the technological impossibility of doing so, then maneuvers the departing American into a public handshake.
  March 26 Hundreds of Wallisians gather. The King affirms his loyalty to France despite calls for his abdication. Bishop Alexandre Poncet proposes a plebiscite on American annexation.
  March 28 Bishop Poncet declares his loyalty to France, King Manikitoga reestablishes his authority, and Captain Zinchek’s deputy informs Resident Charbonnier that the American captain has been recalled to Samoa.
  March 30 Captain Zinchek leaves Wallis on an American ship. Rebel leader Mauka remains intractable and word spreads that Zinchek has simply gone to Pago Pago to discuss an American annexation of Wallis.
  April 9 The last 12 American soldiers are evacuated from Wallis before their departure they present Doctor Charbonnier with a farewell gift, a gun case of cartridges, knowing that the Resident has only an 1886 pistol with three cartridges.
  September 20 The arrival of an American inspector of Marist missions aboard a ship carrying supplies to the recently cyclone ravaged island prompts renewed calls for American annexation. The ship’s commander radios Noumea about the seriousness of the situation.
  October 22 A French warship arrives with the new Resident Pierre Fargis dispatched from Noumea by the French High Commissioner Jacques Tallec whose office believes that Doctor Charbonnier maybe suffering from island pyschosis and exaggerating the seriousness of the Wallisian revolt. Order is immediately restored and the exhausted Charbonnier was evacuated to Papeete.
  circa 1950 Large scale migration of Wallisians and Futunans seeking work in the mines of New Caledonia and the New Hebrides begins. The Wallisian community on New Caledonia eventually outnumbers that of the home islands.

Wallis ...Mais au fait, qui etait Samuel Wallis ?

8 Novembre 2010, 19:20pm

| 

Publié par kodamian

Samuel Wallis est ne en 1728 a Lanteglos-sur-Camelford, en Grande-Bretagne. Il etait le fils d'un petit proprietaire terrien.

Tres jeune, il rejoint la marine britannique et sert pendant la guerre entre la France et l'Angleterre durant la periode 1744-1749.

Apres le traite de paix d'Aix la Chapelle, en octobre 1748, Wallis est promu lieutenant. Il est affecte sur le navire Anson, sous les ordres du capitaine Charles Holmes en janvier 1753.

En avril 1755, il est transfere sur le Torbay, sous les ordres du Vice-amiral Edouard Boscawen.

Entre 1756 et 1763, l'Angleterre et la France sont de nouveau en guerre, et en fevrier 1756, Samuel Wallis est affecte sur le bateau l'Invincible et promu capitaine en juin 1756 sous le commandement de Boscawen. Il est assigne sur une fregate de 20 canons en avril 1757 en nouvelle-angleterre, et, apres 18 mois, il devient commandement du Prince d'Orange, un bateau de guerre de 60 canons qui en 1761 est redeploye a la flotte de la Manche et il y restera jusqu au Traite de Paris signe en 1763.

En 1766, Wallis est affecte au service du Dolphin pour en devenir le Commandant. Les ordres secrets qu on lui donne sont de decouvrir et d'obtenir toutes les connaissances possibles a l'epoque sur les pays ou iles supposees situees dans l'Hemisphere Sud. On pense a cette periode qu'un autre continent existe au sud de l'amerique du sud et c'est alors que Wallis passe 20 mois a naviguer autour du monde dans ce but. Il trouvera ainsi les iles de Tahiti et l'ile d'UVEA qui portera son nom en devenant l'ile de Wallis.

Wallis navigue depuis Plymouth en aout 1766 sous le commandement de Philippe Carteret, entrant dans l'ocean pacifique apres avoir franchi le detroit de Magellon en avril 1767. Il navigue vers le nord ouest a travers l'archipel des Tuamutu pour arriver a Tahiti.

Le 18 juin 1767, les marins virent une montagne couverte de nuages et penserent que c'etait le continent du sud, mais c'est l'ile de Tahiti qu'ils decouvraient en fait. Ils la nomment L'ile du Roi Georges en l'honneur du roi d'Angleterre. Apres quelques troubles avec la population locale, allant jusqu'aux tirs de canons et a la destruction de canoes, les tahitiens demandent la paix et apportent des presents comme de la nourriture et des habits entre autres cadeaux.

Apres avoir quitte les iles de la Societe, le bateau poursuit sa route vers le Pacifique Ouest en direction des iles Mariannes , et le 16 aout 1767, ils decouvrent l'ile d'Uvea qui est nommee Wallis Island.

Le Dolphin navigue ensuite vers Djakarta appelee alors Bativia ou une grande partie de son equipage meurt de dysenterie. Quittant cette colonie hollandaise, Wallis arrivera en Angleterre via le cap de bonne esperance en Mai 1768, confiant les informations recueillies lors de son voyage a l'Amiraute et au capitaine Cook, qui preparait son depart a bord du bateau Endeavour.

Wallis prend alors sa retraite jusqu'en 1770 ou on le rappelle au moment ou il y a menace de guerre avec l'Espagne au sujet des iles malouines ( iles Falklands ). Il est encore rappele a commander un bateau en 1780, avant d'etre nomme commissaire deux ans plus tard, poste qu'il perdra par la suite puis qu il retrouvera en 1787.

Wallis restera commissionnaire naval jusqu'a sa mort a Londres en Janvier 1795, a l'age de 67 ans.

 

CHOSE IMPORTANTE A RETENIR : Samuel WALLIS introduit la choucroute et des aliments riches en vitamine C dans la ration alimentaire de son equipage de sorte qu'il evita ainsi le scorbut a ses hommes.

Terrain a vendre a Wallis ... le debut du changement ?

8 Novembre 2010, 17:36pm

Publié par kodamian

Aujourd hui est peut etre un jour a marquer d'une pierre blanche a Wallis et Futuna.

En effet, on peut trouver une annonce sur le site www.loina.wf ou quelqu'un propose de vendre un terrain a Afala.

Jusqu a present, on ne trouve pas de terrain a acheter a wallis et futuna dans la mesure ou le foncier n est pas encore un probleme resolu sur l ile, en absence de cadastre officiel.

Neanmoins, quelques terrains sont achetes de temps a autres par des wallisiens mais cela reste un phenomene peu repandu sur l'ile.

Je ne sais pas par contre si des papalagis sont proprietaires de terrain sur le fenua, mais je ne le pense pas. Je parle de papalagis ( metropolitains ) qui ne seraient pas maries avec quelqu'un de Wallis.

Alors voyons si cette annonce sera suivie d autres annonces du meme genre et quelles seront les reactions de la part des autorites coutumieres.

Stewart Island 517

S'il y a une specialite qu'on trouve partout en nouvelle-zelande, c est bien le meatpie, qui est une sorte de pate a la viande.C'est tres copieux et un suffit pour en rassasier plus d'un.

On trouve des ApplePie egalement qui ressemblent a s'y meprendre aux Apfelstrudel qu on trouve en Allemagne ou en Autriche. C'est delicieux et c'est donc une sorte de chausson garni de pommes avec des raisins et de la cannelle.

Mais il y a encore plein de pie qu on trouve en nouvelle-zelande alors peut etre pour les futurs championnats de rugby, si vous passez par la nouvelle-zelande, vous pourrez apprecier les pies.
