نيووِيْ ( /ˈnj/،[11] /nˈjuː/; Niuean: Niuē) هي بلد جزيرة تقع في جنوب المحيط الهادي، على بعد 2400 كم شمال شرق نيوزيلندا. تبلغ مساحة البر في نيووِيْ 261 كم² تقريباً[5] وبلغ عدد سكانها عام 2016، معظمهم من الپولينيزيين، قرابة 1.600. تقع نيووِيْ في مثلث بين تونگا وساموا وجزر كوك. تقع نيووِيْ على بعد 604 كم شمال تونگا. تشتهر الجزيرة باسم "الصخرة"، المشتق من اسمها التقليدي "صخرة پولينيزيا".[12] وتعتبر نيووِيْ واحدة من أكبر الجزر المرجانية في العالم. Niue is located in a triangle between Tonga, Samoa, and the Cook Islands. It is 604 kilometres northeast of Tonga. The island is commonly referred to as "The Rock", which comes from the traditional name "Rock of Polynesia".[13] Niue is one of the world's largest coral islands. The terrain of the island has two noticeable levels. The higher level is made up of a limestone cliff running along the coast, with a plateau in the centre of the island reaching approximately 60 metres (200 feet) above sea level. The lower level is a coastal terrace approximately 0.5 km (0.3 miles) wide and about 25–27 metres (80–90 feet) high, which slopes down and meets the sea in small cliffs. A coral reef surrounds the island, with the only major break in the reef being in the central western coast, close to the capital, Alofi.

Niue is a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand, and New Zealand conducts most diplomatic relations on its behalf. As part of the Realm of New Zealand, Niueans are citizens of New Zealand and Charles III is Niue's head of state in his capacity as King of New Zealand. Between 90% and 95% of Niuean people live in New Zealand,[14] along with about 70% of the speakers of the Niuean language.[15] Niue is a bilingual country, with 30% of the population speaking both Niuean and English. The percentage of monolingual English-speaking people is only 11%, while 46% are monolingual Niuean speakers.

Niue is not a member of the United Nations (UN), but UN organisations have accepted its status as a freely associated state as equivalent to independence for the purposes of international law.[16] As such, Niue is a member of some UN specialised agencies (such as UNESCO[17] and the WHO),[18] and is invited, alongside the other non-UN member state, the Cook Islands, to attend United Nations conferences open to "all states".[19] Niue has been a member of the Pacific Community since 1980.

Niue is subdivided into 14 villages (municipalities). Each village has a council that elects its chairperson. The villages are at the same time electoral districts; each village sends an assemblyperson to the Niue Assembly (parliament).[20] A small and democratic nation, Niueans hold legislative elections every three years.

التاريخ

Polynesians from Samoa settled Niue around 900 AD. Further settlers arrived from Tonga in the 16th century.[21]

Until the beginning of the 18th century, Niue appears to have had no national government or national leader; chiefs and heads of families exercised authority over segments of the population. A succession of patu-iki (kings) ruled, beginning with Puni-mata. Tui-toga, who reigned from 1875 to 1887, was the first Christian king.[22]

A 1932 stamp of Niue inscribed "Cook Islands Niue".

The first Europeans to sight Niue sailed under Captain James Cook in 1774. Cook made three attempts to land, but the inhabitants refused to grant permission to do so. He named the island "Savage Island" because, as legend has it, the natives who "greeted" him were painted in what appeared to be blood. The substance on their teeth was hulahula, a native red fe'i banana.[23] For the next couple of centuries, Niue was known as Savage Island until its original name, "Niue", which translates as "behold the coconut",[24] regained use.

Whaling vessels were some of the most regular visitors to the island in the nineteenth century. The first on record was the Fanny in February 1824. The last known whaler to visit was the Albatross in November 1899.[25]

The next notable European visitors represented the London Missionary Society; they arrived on the Messenger of Peace. After many years of trying to land a European missionary, they abducted a Niuean named Nukai Peniamina and trained him as a pastor at the Malua Theological College in Samoa.[26] Peniamina returned in 1846 on the John Williams as a missionary with the help of Toimata Fakafitifonua. He was finally allowed to land in Uluvehi Mutalau after a number of attempts in other villages had failed. The chiefs of Mutalau village allowed him to land and assigned over 60 warriors to protect him day and night at the fort in Fupiu.
