  • Turaga nation (von tu „Stehen“ und raga, Stammesname) ist eine indigene Bewegung in nördlichen Pentecost Island, Vanuatu.

  • The Turaga nation (from tu "stand" and raga, a tribal name) is an indigenous movement based in northern Pentecost Island, Vanuatu. Its leader is Chief Viraleo Boborenvanua, and it has also been associated with Motarilavoa Hilda Lin̄i. The organisation has its headquarters in the traditional village of Lavatmanggemu on the north-east coast of Pentecost. The Turaga movement promotes the revival of traditional Melanesian customs, modernised in certain respects. In place of the Western economic system, which is seen as a cause of poverty and foreign dependency, the movement promotes the kastom (custom) economy, based on traditional systems of economic exchange and native forms of currency such as pigs and woven mats. The Turaga movement operates its own bank (called Tangbunia after the giant baskets in which valuables were traditionally stored) at which these items can be deposited, and has devised a unit of currency (the livatu, equal to the value of a fully curved boar's tusk) in which their value can be reckoned. Turaga has also announced controversial plans to print its own paper currency. The movement operates a school, the Melanesian Institute of Science, Philosophy, Humanity and Technology (Bwatielen Borebore, Vovoraga, Mwaguana i Gotovigi) at which scholars are offered an alternative to the Western-style education provided by Vanuatu's other schools. The school follows a curriculum of its own creation, with teaching organised according to a native lunar calendar. Scholars write in the native Raga language or in Bislama, using an alphabet named Avoiuli developed by Viraleo and inspired by traditional sand drawings. The Turaga movement has caused controversy, with some dismissing the movement as self-serving, as a cargo cult, or as a step backwards into heathenism. The movement has also been criticised for promoting its own particular interpretation of traditional culture. However, Turaga's leaders argue that the values they promote are common to all traditional Melanesian societies and are not incompatible with Christianity. (en)
  • A Nação Turaga (de tu "para sempre" + raga, nome da tribo) é um movimento indígena com base no norte de Pentecostes (ilha), Vanuatu. Entre seus líderes se destacam os chefes Viraleo Boborenvanua e Motarilavoa Hilda Lini A organização tem sua sede na vila tradicional de Lavatmanggemu, nordeste da ilha Pentecostes. O movimento Turaga promove o renascimento dos tradicionais costumes da Melanésia, com a devida modernização em certos aspectos. Em lugar da economia no medelo ocidental, que é vista como causadora de miséria e permanente dependência estrangeira, o movimento Nação Turaga visa uma economia com base kastom (costumes), com base nos sistemas tradicionais de economia de trocas (escambo) com uso de “moedas” tais como porcos e tapeçaria. O movimento Turaga opera seu próprio banco, o Tari Bunia Bank (Tangbunia), nomeado a partir dos grandes cestos de vime nos quais bens eram depositados tradicionalmente. Foi criada uma moeda própria, o , cujo valor é pela avaliação de uma presa de javali totalmente curva. O movimento opera uma escola, a Melanesian Institute of Science, Philosophy, Humanity and Technology (em língua raga, Bwatielen Borebore, Vovoraga, Mwaguana i Gotovigi, mais chamada de noda hinggehingge "nossa escola") na qual são oferecidas aos estudantes alternativas ao estilo de educação ensino de cunho Ocidental que é disponibilizado nas demais escolas de Vanuatu. A escola segue um programa de sete estágios criado pela própria instituição, sendo o ensino organizado com base no calendário lunar nativo. Os estudantes escrevem na local língua raga ou mesmo em língua bislamá, usando a escrita Avoiuli criada pelo chefe Viraleo e inspirada nos antigos e tradicionais desenhos na areia. O movimento tem causado muita controvérsia, com alguns considerando movimento com inócuo, sem sentido, auto-centrado, com muitos dos ilhéus cristãos vendo-o como um retorno ao paganismo. Também é criticado o Turaga por promover uma interpretação própria da cultura local. Em 2008, houve confrontos violentos entre seguidores do Turaga a seus oponentes na cidade central de Pentecostes, f Tansip, com um homem tendo sido seriamente ferido e hospitalizado. Os Turaga, porém, têm um apoio de políticos de alto nível e seus líderes alegam que os valores por eles defendidos sãop os mesmos de todos melanésios e nada têm de incompati´vel com o Cristianismo.
