| Research Abstract |
Positive contributions of the present research project, made to socio-cultural anthropology and related disciplines, can be summarised in the following three points :
1)The project investigated a couple of minor trends of migration in the Pacific, with people migrating from island to island within a nation-state or from an insular state to anther. Those minor trends of migration have so far been paid attention scarcely ; academic interests used to be focused on major trends of migration on migrations in the Pacific.
2) The project investigated some (although limited) aspects of the relationship between settlers and indigenous people, a division of population drawn by the settlers' immigration.
3)The project shed light on a new tendency in the phenomena of migration. The emigrants under our investigation have commonly developed, economically and socially, the bonds they have maintained with their home societies. Seen from a comprehensive perspective, migration of people is not a fission process of a society but a process of its geographical expansion. As some part of a society migrate to foreign lands, the society obtains an opportunity to exploit new economic and social potentialities that emigrants provide.
