PACIFIC ISLAND LEAF PARAGRAPH
The cultures and cultural landscapes of the Pacific Islands contain elements that diffused, or spread,
there from a variety of places. Humans first came to New Guinea and Australia 40,000 to 50,000 years ago from
Southeast Asia, perhaps during a glacial period when the sea level was much lower than it is now. No one
reached the islands farther east for tens of thousands of years. It wasnt until sailing craft and navigational skills
had developed that people from Southeast Asia began to arrive. By about 1500 BC, the island groups of eastern
Melanesia and western Polynesia began to be settled. Groups also moved north into Micronesia. By about AD
1000 the far-flung corners of the Polynesian triangleHawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealandhad been
reached. With the exception of Papua New Guinea, the languages of Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia are
all members of the Austronesian (or Malayo-Polynesian) family. Europeans did not begin arriving until the late
1700s. British Captain James Cook explored the waters around Australia and New Zealand.
Europeans eventually became the majority populations of Australia and New Zealand. In the minority
on most other islands of the Pacific, they became the ruling political and economic powers. The Europeans
brought with them their languages, religions, political traditions, and trading economies. The colonial powers
also imported workers from various parts of Asia, adding more ethnic diversity.
CRITICAL THINKING
Now, study the data table provided on the next two pages, along with a map of the region from an atlas
or your textbook. Be sure to read all the notes at the bottom of the table. Then write a paragraph on a separate
piece of paper supporting the following statement: The Pacific Islands clearly show the effects of the diffusion
of many different people and cultures into the region. Restate in your own words this statement and use as the
lead of your paragraph. Evidence from the table that you can use to support your argument includes the islands
political links, ethnic groups, languages, religions, and exports.
