Hahalis Welfare Society
The Hahalis Welfare Society was a nativist movement on Buka Island, Autonomous Region of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea. The movement began in 1960 and was most active in the '60s and '70s. At its peak, the Society numbered half of the population of Buka Island as members. The Society is best known for refusing to pay the Head Tax to the colonial government of the time, the Port Moresby Administration, and its subsequent clash with police in 1962.
While the Society was mainly focused on anti-tax activism, the Port Moresby Administration classified it as a cargo cult. Former Police Inspector John Hihina described the Society this way: "In 1962 we had trouble at Hahalis on Buka Island, where John Teosin, Francis Hagai(), and the old Sawa started a cargo cult. About 2,000 members joined in and the situation was rather awkward".
==History==
The Hahalis Welfare Society was formed in 1960 by Catholics John Teosin and Francis Bagai. Initially, the movement was a breakaway from the East Coast Buka Society, which had been established for several years. Teosin and Bagai founded the Society on the principles of communal farming and self-help. They started the Society as a means to get the government to aid the Haihai people, by building a school on the island. When this did not happen, the Haihai people became unhappy, and became convinced that they no longer owed the government anything, if the government was not going to help them.
Heavy taxes imposed on the Haihai people by the colonial government caused tension on Buka Island. These tensions came to a head in 1962, culminating in the Hahalis Welfare Society Rebellion.
