FREE WEST MELANESIA FOR MELANESIA UNITY
Melanesia: A division of Oceania in the southwest Pacific Ocean comprising the islands northeast of Australia and south of the equator. Melanesia means black islands. Its name is derived from the word melanin, which is the dark brownish pigment produced in the skin. The Melanesian people have large amounts of melanin in their skin, which makes their skin very dark. Melanesia includes New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji is considered part of Melanesia. Note 1: Some Melanesians are considered by many as the shortest of the peoples of the Pacific Islands. These indigenous peoples are descendants of an ancient African migration. In addition to their dark skin, most have woolly hair. Note 2: Melanesians were formerly called Negritos, by the Spaniards, who invaded and than occupied the lands.
