This video captures the powerful words of Sir John Kaputin, one of Papua New Guinea’s great leaders, reflecting on the struggle for independence and the role of East New Britain and the Tolai people in shaping the nation’s political journey.
He speaks on:
The fight against Australia’s imposed multiracial council in East New Britain
How local leaders like Sir John Kaputin, Sir R.B., Sir Ronald Tomure, Sir Alkan Tololo, and Dr. Tarutia challenged colonial authority
The sacrifices of the Tolai, Kove, and Baining people in rejecting foreign control
The confrontation with the Australian administration in the 1960s and 1970s
Why PNG’s independence in 1975 was achieved earlier thanks to the courage of Gazelle leaders
The belief that even without gold or vast resources, the people of East New Britain could stand on their own as independent
🌏 Sir John Kaputin reminds us that PNG’s independence was not handed down easily — it was demanded, fought for, and built on the unity of grassroots leaders who refused to compromise their people’s future.
This is more than history. It’s a lesson for the present: true independence means defining our own destiny, on our own terms.
