: I have tried my best to understand the
: situation but there is very little light and
: a lot of noise.
:
: Joinville Pomare, who has headed the
: Royalist party since about 2003 has been
: campaigning for some sort of official
: status. His latest proposal was for
: something similar to the situation in New
: Zealand with the Maori Kingi movement. The
: head of the movement, and thus the head of
: those tribes that belong to the
: confederation, has a certain official
: recognition and status. He/she is commonly
: called the Maori King or Queen.
:
: He has also used the example of Uvea, a
: French territory where the local Kings are
: recognised and actually exercise some power.
:
: However, all attempts at trying to find how
: he is descended from the Pomare dynasty or
: who what his line of descent is, achieves no
: result.
:
: He has had some public relations successes,
: partly due to the farcial teritorial
: elections and the election disputes
: concerning Gaston Flosse. He was also able
: to arrange a large gathering of Pacific
: Royalties, to which representatives from all
: over the Pacific went. Virtually all sent
: the highest ranking people possible. The
: French authorities first tried to have the
: meeting stopped, claiming that the uncertain
: political situation made the gathering
: unsuitable. However, they had to relent when
: the Maori King and the King of Tonga said
: they would attend. So ultimately all the
: officials had to giv in and then even turned
: up with garlands and presents.
:
: Of course, the family relationships are
: quite complicated. Lots of illegitimate
: offspring, some officially recognised by
: their parents and others not. However, some
: of these unrecognised offspring have been
: legally adopted and recognised as full heirs
: by other members of the family. So in one
: sense their status is better than that of
: the recognised illegitimate children.

: goods and possesions.I don't know,if they
