Tikopia
Ethnography of one of the British solomon islands whose culture traditionally subsisted by fishing, collecting, and horticulture.
http://lucy.ukc.ac.uk/EthnoAtlas/Hmar/Cult_dir/Culture.7873

Extractions: Society-TIKOPIA The island of Tikopia is located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean at lat. 12 degrees 18 minutes S by long. 168 degrees 48 minutes E. Politically, the island is part of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, which lies within the Melanesian culture area; but culturally and linguistically, Tikopia is actually a Polynesian outlier and should be classified with Western Polynesia. The Tikopian language, Tikopia-Anuta, is part of the Austronesian language family (Voegelin and Voegelin 1974: 2-3). Tikopia is a small, volcanic island, approximately six square miles in size. The climate is hot and humid, with daily temperatures registering around 26.7 degrees C. to 29.4 degrees C. Prevailing wind patterns divide the year into two seasons. From April to September, the trade winds bring frequent cloud cover, rain, and cool temperatures. The monsoon season, from October to March, displays variable weather: hot days and periods of calm are broken by torrential downpours and high winds. Tropical vegetation covers the rugged landforms. The Tikopian population had grown from 1,278 people in 1929 to 1,735 in 1953. They have traditionally subsisted by fishing, collecting, and horticulture. Because of the lack of animals on the island, hunting is not practiced. Marine fauna are the major source of protein in the Tikopia diet and are taken by line or net fishing, frequently from sea-going canoes, or by collecting with nets along the reefs. The bulk of the diet, however, comes from fruits, vegetables and root crops, both wild and cultivated. Fields are opened by slash-and-burn techniques, and cultivation is done with digging sticks. Major crops include taro, breadfruit, yams, manioc, sago, pulaka, coconuts, bananas, and tobacco. In general, men fish, do woodworking, make nets, and clear the fields. Women do most of the collecting and tending of the crops, and also make mats and bark cloth. Both sexes engage in planting and food preparation. With increasing population pressure on the island resources and greater articulation with the outside world, migratory wage work on the Solomon and New Hebrides islands has become an important economic activity, especially for males. The Tikopians are distributed into 21 villages located along the coastline. No particular settlement pattern characterizes these villages, nor are there any village headmen. Village households are most frequently composed of a single nuclear family, but households comprising extended families or nuclear families plus other kin are also common. The village is an important unit in cooperative economic activities. The 21 villages are divided into two major social-geographical districts, named Ravenga and Faea. Relations between villages of the same district are characterized by mutual interest and cooperation for the most part. In contrast, relations between villages of different districts are marked by rivalry and hostility. Village and district distinctions are cross-cut by a system of four principal kin groups, which Firth (1936, 1959) calls "patrilineal clans." The "clans" are further segmented into patrilineages. "Clans" are not localized; each has members in both districts and in many or most of the villages. But nearly every village has a preponderance of households of one "clan," which is the politically and ritually dominant group in that village. Integrated with this system of kin and local groups is a strongly developed status system, which, when expressed in a political form, constitutes a rank structure with chiefs at its apex. Patrilineages are headed by chiefs (maru), who are usually the most senior men in the direct lines of descent from the lineage ancestors. Lineage heads have important political, ritual, and economic functions, but more important are the "clan" chiefs (ariki). Succession to these offices is determined by primogeniture and direct descent from the common "clan" ancestor. Clan chiefs are the traditional political and ritual leaders of the "clan"; they theoretically own all the land, are key figures in production and distribution, and major agents of social control. Each chief has two sets of advisors, one for each ritual and secular affairs. As a result of missionary activities, the Tikopians have become Christianized, and ritual advisors are no longer important. Although the "clans" are hierarchically ranked, the chief of the highest ranked "clan" should be considered as "first among equals," rather than as a true paramount chief. Tikopian marriages are prohibited among relatives of the first degree of relationship according to their classificatory kin reckoning. Neither lineages nor "clans" function as exogamous units. People are divided into two classes, the chiefly class and the commoner class, according to lines of descent. Until recently, there was a preference for intra-class marriages, although this was not rigorously enforced. Polygyny is practiced, but monogamy is the prevalent form of marriage. Despite occasional separations of married couples, the Tikopians have no formal mechanisms for divorce. Delayed age of marriage for males, infanticide, and abortion are among the Tikopian practices that have traditionally functioned to control their population. The aboriginal Tikopian religious system was oriented around rituals for various ancestors and gods, with the aim of obtaining such ends as favorable weather, crop productivity, success in fishing, and the curing of illness. The most important mediators between the Tikopians and the supernaturals were the "clan" chiefs, or ariki. An ariki was thought to derive his religious powers (manu) from the gods, and he served as a priest in important rituals involving joint participation of the Tikopian "clans" as well as the ritual for his own "clan." In addition, each lineage in a "clan" had a ritual elder (matapure or pure matua), appointed by the ariki, who dealt with lineage ritual (Firth 1970). Because of its remote and isolated location, Tikopia had few contacts with outside groups until well into the twentieth century. Tikopians occasionally visited other islands, but these trips were limited by the large distances and great hazards involved in canoe ocean voyages. Contacts by Westerners began sporadically around the beginning of the nineteenth century, but in 1927, when Firth did his initial fieldwork in Tikopia, the indigenous culture was largely intact. The major contact agents were, first, missionaries and, later, labor recruiters. By the 1950s, all the Tikopians had become Christianized, and most of the native ritual practices had ceased. Much of the Tikopian life style has remained intact, but the forces of Westernization have been making inroads throughout the twentieth century. Raymond First is the major authority on Tikopian ethnography, having spent 12 months in 1928-29, ca. 5 months in 1952 and a short time in 1966 on the island. The only study of Tikopia previous to Firth's was made in 1910 by the Reverend W. J. Durrad, based on a stay of 2 months. Culture summary by Robert O. Lagace and Eleanor C.

http://www.angelfire.com/biz/solomonsvillagestay/svsinfo.html

Extractions: INTRODUCTION TO VILLAGE STAY Village stay is a warts-and-all travel experience particularly suited to the Solomons, where villages are safe and friendly, and the traditional lifestyle is still widely practised. Village stay gives visitors the opportunity to experience the local culture first hand by actually staying in a village-style house, trying out traditional foods and observing or joining in on day to day village activities. Village hosts also accompany their guests on excursions away from the village for sightseeing or recreation. Who better to show you the local attractions than the people who live there? Naturally the standard of accommodation and facilities in villages cannot compete with resort hotels: some aspects of comfort and convenience must be compromised. But only a village stay can offer visitors a real insight into the culture and lifestyle of the Solomon Islanders. Ecotourism Melanesia offers a selection of village stays located in various provinces across the Solomons. Each village stay is independently operated by a bona fide village family. Established in 1996, our network of village stays is the first village ecotourism venture of its type in the South Pacific, giving local villagers an opportunity to earn limited cash income without selling their customary lands to developers or turning to environmentally damaging practices such as rainforest logging. To minimise the impact of visitors on the village culture, limits are placed on the number of guest arrivals at each village stay. Each village stay accepts only one booking at a time, up to a limit of 10 nights per month, so that the hosts can retain their primary identity as villagers rather than hoteliers. The upside of this for guests is that they do not have to "share" their village with other tourists.

Current issues include corruption, land relations, government deficits, deforestation , and malaria control. Continuing civil unrest led to an almost complete breakdown in normal activity: civil servants remained unpaid for months at a time, and cabinet meetings had to be held in secret to prevent local warlords from interfering. The security forces were unable to reassert control, largely because many police and security personnel are associated with one or another of the rival gangs.

Pacific News member of Solomon Islands Culture Solomon Islander crafts are important for both traditional and decorative reasons. Carvings can be found throughout the island group, and can range from ornate ritual bowls in Makira/Ulawa Province to miniature canoe souvenirs in Western Province, Malaita, Ulawa, Santa Ana and Nggela islands. Music is played throughout the Solomons using bamboo pipes in a variety of forms. Pipes are played either in sets or singly as wind-instruments. Hitting lengths of bamboo with a rubber thong produces sounds ranging from a ukulele twang to a double-bass boom. 'Kastom' (custom) is used to refer to traditional beliefs and land ownership. Despite the predominance of devout Christian belief, traditional practice is still followed to a great extent, especially among the 75% of Solomon Islanders living in villages. Dances, songs and stories depicting the past are common. These usually celebrate war, hunting, the natural world or the harvesting of crops. In addition, some islanders believe in various forms of magic. Most common is the belief that after death, a person's spirit lives on for a time in sharks, birds or reptiles. This animal becomes sacred for a time, and tabu (forbidden) to eat. Ancestors, it seems, are particularly fond of returning as sharks.

Pacific News member of Solomon Islands Malaita (Auki) Malaita Province is one of the most populous and developed of the Solomon Islands' Provinces. It consists of the main island of Malaita, home to many tribes of Melanesian peoples with many different language groups and customs, South Malaita island, and the two remote Polynesian atolls of Sikaiana and Ontong Java (or Lord Howe) to the east and far north, respectively. The Provincial capital is Auki, serviced by daily flights by Solomon Airlines and also a good shipping service. A new port is to be built at Bina Harbour, and new industry is expected to spring up around this. Mineral resources including diamonds have been identified recently. A new Solomon Airlines service has started from Honiara to the far northern atoll of Ontong Java. There are a few basic lodges and guesthouses in Auki such as the Auki Lodge . Visitors wishing to explore into the interior and stay in kastom villages can really experience the way of life. We can arrange day trips to Kastom villages with a feast, etc.
