CULTURAL PASSPORT

The traditional welcome or "coutume" is a cornerstone

of Kanak culture. In its broadest sense the term

"coutume" refers to all the social rules that govern

everyday life but in the above instance it refers to the

traditional welcome ceremony, which is a mark of

respect (at the beginning of a meeting, on arrival on

tribal land, etc).

A simple gift is offered. Originally this took the form of

"Kanak" money, which was made from shells, flying

fox fur, etc. Today a gift of tobacco and money (around

F1,000) is laid upon a piece of material (known as "le

manou").

The person who is giving the gift explains his reasons

(to give thanks, make a request for authorisation to

enter tribal lands, etc). The person receiving the gift,

replies and touches the gift as a sign of acceptance.

The customary welcome
