Ibedul succession dispute | 75,687,110 | There was a succession dispute following the death of the Ibedul of Koror Yutaka Gibbons on November 4, 2021. Gibbons' younger siblings rechucher-ra-techekii Alexander Merep and bilung Gloria Salii both initially claimed the title but Salii would later relent her claim in favour of her son James Lebuu Littler. Merep would be accepted as ibedul by the traditional chiefs of Koror and the Council of Chiefs though Salii maintains that her son is ibedul. |
|
Ibedul succession dispute | 75,687,110 | Background | The long-serving Ibedul of Koror Yutaka Gibbons died in Taiwan on November 4, 2021 at the age of 77. Gibbons had worked as a United States Army cook before becoming Ibedul in 1973 and ran for president in the 1984, 1988 and 1996 Palauan general election. He was also an anti–nuclear weapons activist and received the Right Livelihood Award in 1983. |
Ibedul succession dispute | 75,687,110 | Background | Gibbons' youngest brother Alexander Merep held the title rechucher-ra-techekii and his younger sister Gloria Salii holds the title of bilung which is the female counterpart of ibedul and highest ranking female chief in Palau. In a 1979 article for The New York Times by Robert Trumbull, Salii was cited as saying that their titles were passed down to them through a "complex system of inheritance in which the line passes through the sister of the reigning ibedul, provided there is one and she has heirs". Trumbull concluded that the next Ibedul "presumably will be half‐American" referring to Salii's 3-month-old son James Lebuurakuk "Lebuu" Littler whose middle name is named after Prince Lee Boo. |
Ibedul succession dispute | 75,687,110 | Dispute | In December 2021, Bilung Gloria Salii stated that she had assumed the duties and responsibilities of Ibedul and claimed she should be receiving a monthly honorarium. She wrote a letter to the Governor of Koror Franco Gibbons, who also holds the title of Ngiraikelau which is the 2nd highest ranking title in Koror, requesting that the monthly honorarium of Ibedul be issued to her name. Governor Gibbons's attorney said that the law of Koror dictated that the honorarium be paid to a person that "actually holds a title and and sits as a member of the House of Traditional Leaders" and that if there is more than one claimant to the title the honorarium is held until the court decides who the proper holder of the title is. Bilung also informed the Council of Chiefs that she had token over the duties with the council simply stating "that they look forward to the submission of the name of the next Ibedul." The Island Times noted that it is rare for a keldorolel a rubak (female counterpart) to assume the title of their male counterpart and that it is the first time that this has occurred in the position of a paramount chief in Palau. |
Ibedul succession dispute | 75,687,110 | Dispute | On January 6, 2022, Salii sent a letter to the House of Traditional Leaders, in which she told them that she had removed the title of Rechucher-ra-Techekii from her brother Alexander Merep and removed him from the House of Traditional Leaders. A similar letter from Rimuu Dominica Ngoriak removed Harry Fritz from the house by removing his title of Adelbairekesoaol. Ten chiefs of the house, 6 ngarameketii, and 4 rubekul kldeu, sent letters to both Bilung and Rimuu asking why they were expelling their "friends", saying that they had been loyal and productive members of the house for years. Salii sent another letter to Ngiraikelau Gibbons stating "I am Ibedul and Bilung at this time. I call the meeting of the council of chiefs." She also told Gibbons that Merep had been removed from his seat and should not be asked to attend chief meetings. The new Governor of Koror Eyos Rudimch wrote a letter to Salii requesting time to review her request for the honorarium of Ibedul. Rudimch stated that he had "no say on the matters of [the] Idid clan or its chiefs" but since the issue relates to the law, he has to conduct a legal review. On January 26, 2022, Rudich informed Salii that the state government could not process her request for the honorarium until the House of Traditional Leaders accepted someone as ibedul. Salii would control the house's office, staff and operations until February 4, 2022 when she capitulated from her previous claims that she was the ibedul and returned the traditional chief's property, reportedly because they were threatening a lawsuit. |
Ibedul succession dispute | 75,687,110 | Dispute | After the 100 days mourning period for Yutaka Gibbons ended on February 22, 2022, the ngarameketii (traditional chiefs of Koror) accepted Alexander Merep as the new ibedul of Koror with reports saying he was appointed by Idid female members led by Ochob Katey Ngiraked who were opposed to Salii. He was also accepted by Koror's hamlet chiefs. Island Times reported that Salii had appointed her son James Lebuu Littler who currently holds the title of kloteraol as ibedul but had not submitted his name to the Ngarameketii for their approval. On March 10, 2023, Merep was formally installed as ibedul in a ceremony at the Koror chief's bai. At the ceremony Merep received $20,000 and 5 pieces of various types of Palauan currency. In response, Salii held a ceremony for her son in Ngerchemai where she washed his hands in turtle blood before going to Peleliu to obtain his crown pertaining to tradition. On March 25, 2023, Ibedul Merep signed letters approving four new chiefs in Koror which included approving Ochob Katey Ngiraked's reported appointment of James Lebuu Littler to Merep's former title of rechucher-ra-techekii, which in turn made them members of the House of Traditional Leaders. Salii did not appoint her son as rechucher-ra-techekii stating that "nothing has changed. The process of Lebuu Littler becoming ibedul is still very much ongoing." |
Ibedul succession dispute | 75,687,110 | Dispute | On April 5, 2022, the co-chair of the Council of Chiefs Reklai Raphael Ngirmang said in a letter that he had approved Merep as a "friend and member of the Council of Chiefs" and as ibedul he became the other co-chair of the Council of Chiefs on April 20, 2022. On April 29, 2022, the Council of Chiefs notified President Surangel Whipps Jr., Senate President Hokkons Baules and House Speaker Sabino Anastacio that the seat of ibedul was no longer vacant. In May 2022, Salii wrote a letter to President Surangel Whipps Jr. rejecting the letter from the Council of Chiefs saying "I remind you again that Alex is not Ibedul of Idid Clan. Only me, Bilung, appoints Ibedul of Idid and no one else can appoint because they are not Bilung, it's not their title." Salii claimed that in the past Merep had tried to sue his siblings to claim clan lands for his children and also said that Merep had a stroke and is partially blind and so cannot represent the Idid clan as he will "weaken the clan". Salii was also against the idea of the ibedul co-chairing the council, stating that the ibedul is the "highest title in Palau and does not share or co-chair with another title" which she attributes to wars won by Koror. |

Richard Wood (consul) | 75,687,192 | Sir Richard Wood (1806-1900) was a British dragoman and consul in Syria and Tunisia, at a time when the Ottoman Empire was in retreat and the British were gaining influence in the Middle East and North Africa. |
|
Richard Wood (consul) | 75,687,192 | Early life | Wood was born in 1806, the son of a British dragoman in Constantinople, and grew up there and in Exeter, where he was educated at a boarding school, which he left in 1823. Fluent in Turkish, French, Greek, and Italian, and having a good understanding of the Ottoman Empire, he at first followed his father's career by becoming a dragoman. |
Richard Wood (consul) | 75,687,192 | Career | In 1831, Wood was posted to Syria, to learn Arabic, but with the undercover task of finding ways to undermine the government of Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt. In 1832, during the Egyptian–Ottoman War, he went to observe the siege of Acre, where he saw Ibrahim himself in command, and reported that he had taken him at first sight for a cook. |
Richard Wood (consul) | 75,687,192 | Career | In 1834, when Egypt gained formal authority in Syria, Wood returned to Constantinople, where he had talks with Lord Ponsonby, the British ambassador, about how Ibrahim might be brought down and the increasing Russian influence over the Ottomans undermined. |

He then went to Kurdistan to observe a punitive campaign by the Ottomans against the Kurdish Mir Muhammad Bey, who was supported by Russia. Wood had a series of setbacks when he went down with small-pox in Aleppo and in Mosul caught typhoid. He was also wounded in the knee by a tribesman's lance and gained a head wound which permanently damaged his eyesight. In Kurdistan, he met Muhammad, who claimed that he had never heard of England, but agreed to go to Constantinople and negotiate with the Sultan Mahmud II. |
Richard Wood (consul) | 75,687,192 | Career | In 1840 Wood returned to Syria, this time with both British and Ottoman instructions, in support of a revolt by the Druzes and Maronites against Muhammad Ali of Egypt. A joint naval intervention by Austria, Great Britain, and the Ottomans in September 1840 led to the Ottomans regaining Syria in October, and Wood became a powerful man there. Thanks largely to him, the British had more influence in the region than any other power. In 1841, Wood was formally appointed as British consul in Damascus. He later played a significant part in the Maronite-Druze wars of 1842 and 1845. |
Richard Wood (consul) | 75,687,192 | Career | In 1857 Wood left Syria take up the post of British consul to Tunis. |

Rongokako | 75,687,241 | Rongokako was a Maori ariki (chieftain) and tohunga (priest) of the Tākitimu tribal confederation and ancestor of the Ngāti Kahungunu iwi, who is famous for his giant leaps. Several places along the east coast of the North Island are named for him. |

Rongokako | 75,687,241 | Life | Rongo-kako was the son of Tamatea Arikinui, who captained the Tākitimu canoe from Hawaiki to Aotearoa New Zealand. His mother was Tato, a direct descendant of Toi-kai-rākau, who harnessed Tamatea when he landed at Mauao and thereby forced him to marry her. |
Rongokako | 75,687,241 | Life | Rongokako studied at the Whare Wānanga (school of learning) in Wairarapa under the patronage of Tupai, who had been one of the Tākitimu's tohunga. According to tradition, the Wānanga's final examination required the students to use the karakia (chants) they had learnt in order to make supernatural leaps through the air. To prove that they had mastered this ability, the students had to bring back wet leaves from the rimurapa, a kind of kelp that could be found only on an offshore island. Rongokako was a poor student, so he was barred from taking this test, but when the other students attempted it, they all brought back dried leaves that had washed up on the nearby shore, showing that they had been unable to make the leap to the offshore island, and they all failed. Rongo-kako successfully performed the karakia, made the leap, and returned with wet rimurapa, thus earning his initiation as a tohunga. |
Rongokako | 75,687,241 | Life | After this, Rongokako decided to court Muriwhenua, who was famous for her beauty. His chief rival was Pāoa, ancestor of Ngāti Pāoa, and the two decided to race to be the first to her home at Hauraki. Pāoa was a great navigator and - to be sporting - he offered Rongo-kako a seat in his waka (canoe), which was denied. Rongo-kako used his leaping power to leap ahead of Pāoa as he sailed up the coast. He first appeared at Cape Kidnappers, then at Whangawehi on the Mahia Peninsula, where marks in the rock are said to be his footprints. On his next leap he reached a place near Whangara, which was therefore named Te Tapuwae o Rongokako ("The footprints of Rongokako"). Then Pāoa realised that Rongokako had the advantage. Accordingly, he set a trap at Tokomaru Bay, but Rongo-kako leapt over even this and sprung the trap with his toe. The place is known as Tāwhiti-a-Pāoa ("trap of Pāoa") because of this. The stick holding the trap open was thrown into the sky and landed in Waikato, where it grew into a tree that still stood as of 1913. Rongokako reached Muriwhenua first and won her hand in marriage. |
Rongokako | 75,687,241 | Life | After his death, Rongokako was buried at Te Mata Peak, whose full name is Te Mata o Rongokako ("the face of Rongo-kako"). When looking at the peak from the east, it appears to be the silhouette of a person lying down, which is said to be Rongokako. |
