'''Madang''' is a [[Provinces of Papua New Guinea|province of Papua New Guinea]]. The province is on the northern coast of mainland [[Papua New Guinea]] and has many of the country's highest peaks, active [[volcano]]es and its biggest mix of [[language]]s. The capital is the town of [[Madang]].


==Districts and LLGs and clans ==
'''Madang''' has many of [[Papua New Guinea]]'s highest peaks, it's most active [[volcano]]s, and it's biggest mix of [[language]]s (175). The [[province]] is the country's third leading producer of [[cocoa]] and [[copra]] and second producer of [[cattle]]. [[Ramu]] [[sugar]] and [[Jant/Gogol]] woodchip mill are amongst PNG's biggest employers. Most areas are still far from transport and undeveloped.
Each province in Papua New Guinea has one or more districts, and each district has one or more Local Level Government (LLG) areas.

==Education==
Man's contact with the [[New Guinea]] mainland has extended through the past 50,000 years, and although as yet unproven one would presume this figure to be true for this region also. Scientists have found evidence of human settlement 12,000 to 15,000 years ago near [[Simbai]]. In the past 6,000 years [[sailor]]s originating from around [[Korea]] have traversed this area, leaving their mark in the [[Austronesia]]n languages which are unevenly distributed along the coastline amongst the Papuan language villages.
Tertiary educational institutions in Madang Province include:


*Madang Technical College
The [[Yabob]] and [[Bilbil]] people used big sailing canoes to trade their pots from [[Karkar Island]] to western [[Morobe]]. They were part of the [[Vitiaz Strait]] trade network. [[Bundi]] was the centre of trade between [[Astrolabe Bay]] and the Highlands. Trade involved [[animal shell|shell]]s, [[salt]], [[clay pots]] and wooden [[bowl]]s from the [[lowlands]] and stone [[axe]]s, [[feather]]s and women from the [[Asaro]], [[Simbu]] and [[Jimi]] valleys.
*Madang Marine Time College
*Madang Teachers College
*[[Divine Word University]] (DWU) is a national university and a leading tertiary institution in Papua New Guinea. Formerly Divine Word Institute, it was established by an Act of Parliament in 1980 and was established as a University in 1996. DWU It is ecumenical, coeducational and privately governed with government support.<ref>[http://www.dwu.ac.pg/en/index.php Divine Word University]</ref>


== Provincial leaders ==
The Madang coast received its first real western exploration at the hands of the [[Russia]]n explorer [[Nicolai Miklouho-Maclay]] in [[1871]]. He introduced [[pineapple]]s, [[mango]]es, [[bean]]s, [[pumpkins]] and other new foods. In [[1884]] the [[German New Guinea Kompagnie]] started development of the region, building [[tobacco]], [[cotton]] and [[coffee]] [[plantation]]s at [[Bogia]] and around Astrolabe Bay. In [[1886]], [[Johannes Flierl]] started a [[Lutheran]] Mission at [[Simbang]]. The [[Catholic Divine Word Order]] established missions at Bogia in [[1901]] and [[Alexishafen]] in [[1904]].


The province was governed by a decentralised provincial administration, headed by a Premier, from 1978 to 1995. Following reforms taking effect that year, the national government reassumed some powers, and the role of Premier was replaced by a position of Governor, to be held by the winner of the province-wide seat in the [[National Parliament of Papua New Guinea]].<ref>{{cite web | url=http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p66801/mobile/ch08.html | title=8.

In [[1914]], [[Australia]]n [[troop]]s captured [[Rabaul]] and took control of [[German New Guinea]]. A military administration continued for 7 years. This was ratified by the [[Treaty of Versailles]] in [[1919]]. Once again, very little development took place and the next momentous occasion was the occupation of the region by the [[Japan]]ese in the [[Second World War]] (1 May [[1942]] for [[Madang]] town). Madang was destroyed in heavy fighting with much loss of life on both sides. The township was recaptured by [[Allies of World War II|Allied soldiers]] on 24th April [[1944]]. Post-war developments have been few and mainly restricted to the coast and Madang town. Madang town is the base of [[Divine Word University]] which was established in 1996.

==Geography==
[[Image:Südseestrand.jpg|thumb|260px|Beach in Madang Province]]


{| class="wikitable"
Madang Province is a large and deep region some 300 [[kilometre]]s long and 160 kilometres wide with four large and many small offshore [[island]]s. The province totals 29,000 [[square kilometre]]s and has a [[population]] of 365,106 ([[2000]] census). To the south lies the towering [[Bismarck Range]]s with heights ranging over 4,000 [[metre]]s, with [[Mount Wilhelm]] (4509), PNG's tallest mountain being found in those ranges. The warm [[Bismarck Sea]] laps the northern coast, and the region is drained northward by the larger [[Ramu River|Ramu]], [[Sogeram]], [[Gogol River|Gogol]] and [[Malas River]]s. The mountains are [[timber]] rich with large stands of trees and [[rain forest]], whilst the [[coastal plain]] is open and studded with [[palm tree]]s.

===Governors (1995–present)===
Offshore islands are, in almost all cases, actively volcanic with many of the islands causing their populations to be moved to the coast on regular occasions when [[eruption]]s occur. Part of the [[Pacific Ocean]]'s "[[ring of fire]]" this active volcanic region has created crater [[lake]]s, smoking [[volcanic cones]] and [[black sand]] [[beaches]].

The Madang province receives ample [[rainfall]] (3.2 metres in Madang itself) with the months of November to June being the wettest.

==Members of the National Parliament==
==People and Culture==


The province and each district is represented by a Member of the [[National Parliament of Papua New Guinea|National Parliament]]. There is one provincial [[electoral district|electorate]] and each district is an open electorate.
Due to changes caused by outside contact over the years, cultural loss has been great but isolation of many groups has caused that rate of change to be diversely uneven. Because of the [[Natural environment|environment]]al diversity, this province also has a very diverse culture as well. Tall lithe coastal people from [[Karkar Island]], short nuggety highlands men from [[Simbai]] and river people from the Ramu.


{| class="wikitable"
Many Madang area [[costumes]] include [[bamboo]] frames decorated with the very common [[cockatoo]] and [[parrot]] feathers as [[birds of paradise]] are relatively uncommon. The Ramu people are prolific carvers and the lower Ramu has cultural links with the villages of the artistically diverse [[Sepik River]] region. It is interesting to note that the resurgence of cultural festivals (i.e. [[Maborasa Festival]]) has seen many people donning the fantastic traditional dress, feathers and paints of their [[ancestors]].

{{Reflist}}
Austronesian sailors settled on this coast some 5 to 6,000 years ago and the languages of these intrepid but largely unknown sailors are found along the coast of the province. [[Takia]], [[Lukep]], [[Gedaged]], [[Manam]] and [[Bilbil]] languages are examples of this. Inland, the [[Katiati]], [[Hinihon]], [[Saki]] and [[Waskia]] languages are examples of Papuan or non-Austronesian languages found in the region. The Ramu river languages include [[Gamei]], [[Giri]], [[Tangu]], [[Romkun]] and [[Igana]] and the [[Rai Coast]] languages include [[Garia]] and [[Usino]]. Linguistically, Madang province is typified by a large number of very small language groups, many with less than 1,000 people.
