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
