A kaleidoscope of impressions of the Polynesians, as seen by the first Europeans to come into contact with them, drawn from the diaries they wrote. Readers: RICHARD BEBB , GARARD GREEN and DAVID TIMSON
Chosen by NINA ELSTON

Documentary feature presented by Peter Gather -cole, Curator of the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography, Cam-bridge.
Since his first discovery by Europeans. Polynesian man has taken strange shapes in the western mind. Eighteenth-century intellectuals pictured him as the Noble Savage; missionaries saw him as a benighted heathen. Nineteenth-century writers, like Melville and Loti, romanticised him In our time, anthropologists and other researchers have tried to draw a more accurate picture. Has the genuine Polynesian man started to emerge? Is he emerging in his own eyes?

Illustrated talk by Mervyn McLean , Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Pacific Music, University of Auckland.
Much of the traditional Polynesian music was swept away bv the missionaries who introduced western hymns. But much also remains. Professor McLean draws from the vast archive of the University of Auckland for his illustrations.

In this documentary feature Victor Price discusses with a number of Pacific specialists how it was possible for the ancient Polynesians, who had no knowledge of the compass and no maps. to settle an area of ocean as large as Asia, sailing in primitive canoes with sewn planks and sails woven from pandanus leaves.

Dr Adrienne Kaeppler , of the Bishop Museum, Honolulu, discusses the aesthetic and social significance of Polynesian dance, which, unlike other dance forms, has poetry as its basic element.

Grant McCall , Lecturer In Anthropology, University of New South Wales, discusses the unsolved riddles of Easter Island, where he lived for two years: the great statues and the undeciphered ronflo-rongo script among others.
