Official Launch of the Duke of York Islands Cultural Event
We are proud to announce the official launching of the Duke of York Islands Cultural Event.
Set across our 12 coastal villages in East New Britain, Papua New Guinea, this monumental launch event marks a vibrant new chapter for our island home as we come together to celebrate our living heritage.
Why This Launch Matters
For generations, the culture of Ramoaina has thrived through everyday island life—from the skilled carving of outrigger canoes and intricate fiber weaving to the sacred traditions of the Tubuan and Dukduk and the traditional economy of Tabu (shell money).
The official launch event is dedicated entirely to spotlighting these timeless practices. It serves as a focused, community-led milestone to:
Preserve Living Heritage:
Safeguard sacred ancestral knowledge under the guidance of our village elders and pass it down to younger generations.
Connect Our Islands:
Strengthen unity and cooperation across all 12 coastal villages through traditional arts, music, storytelling, and community gatherings.
Showcase Authentic Custom:
Open a dedicated window for our community and visitors to experience our living culture directly from its source.
