However, what I meant was the modern day politician who seems to be leading the pro-monarchist and indigenous movement. He is named Joinville Pomare and is called prince. I have been completely unable to find out how he is related to the Pomare dynasty and what his line of descent actually is. There is nothing on the internet as far as I can see.

Cheers

: 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
