documentary heritage

The Tungavalu Society is a group of people; Gilbertese, Ellice and expatriate, interested in promoting research into and developing awareness of the culture, prehistory and history of the Gilbert and Ellice islands. As a key part of their work they are working towards the establishment of a Cultural Centre on Tarawa which they are anxious to see properly staffed and equipped by local people qualified in the various fields necessary for the wide range of anthropological and archaeological work that needs to be done.

Subject Notes

Tekarei Tibwere Russell (born 1937) is a Gilbertese former politician.

After been educated at the Elaine Bernacchi School, she became a secondary school teacher in 1959, in Bikenibeu, and was the first woman to be elected to the Legislative Council of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands colony, when she was elected MP for South Tarawa (the capital city) in 1971. Re-elected in 1975, she was appointed Minister for Health and Family Planning, serving from 1975 to 1977, whereupon she retired from politics and returned to teaching. She was subsequently awarded the Pride of Kiribati medal.--Wikipedia, retrieved September 2020.)
