Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ways of the South Sea Savage: A Record of Travel Observation Amongst the Savages of the Solomon Islands Primitive Coast Mountain Peoples of New Guinea The study of the more primitive races of mankind is ever a fascinating one, and no part of the globe now Offers greater facilities for its enjoyment than do the islands of the south-west Pacific and New Guinea; indeed New Guinea may almost be regarded as the last stronghold of the savage; for, though it has had many white visitors and is under the government of European powers, and though much has been Observed and recorded concerning the people Of some Of its coast-lines and the low-lying plains behind them, a great part Of its mountainous interior still remains a sealed book, which no man has yet attempted to open and read.

Excerpt: ...of mourning is at an end, and the sorrowing relatives return to their normal mode of life. Nowadays the Government, on sanitary grounds, forbids the burial of bodies within the village enclosure, requiring them to be interred in cemeteries just outside the village; and it has placed other restrictions upon the practice of the chief mourners sleeping by the grave. The latter, at all events, of these injunctions, is not, I think, entirely obeyed; indeed my first experience of the fear caused by their belief that I was a Government official arose from infringement of a burial regulation. The religious views of the Mekeo people differ considerably from those of the Solomon Islanders. In the first place, though they may have had an origin in some idea analogous to that of mana, it cannot be said of them that this is now their fundamental basis, or indeed that the idea of mana, as understood in the Solomons, forms part of them. Another difference is that, whilst in the Solomons the people fear, and endeavour to propitiate, individual ghosts, in Mekeo this is not so, their fears relating rather to ghosts generally. This second element of difference may, perhaps, be in some way connected with the first one, at all events so far as the ghosts are concerned, for the special fear of, and desire to please or secure the help of, an individual ghost in the Solomon Islands is based on the belief that this particular ghost is largely endowed with mana; and where, as in Mekeo, the ghosts are only regarded as a general body, the question of the amount of mana possessed by any one ghost does not arise. 158 SORCERERS I think I shall be substantially correct if I say that the religion of the Mekeo people is a belief in certain individual mythical beings, in...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I know no place where firm and paternal government would sooner produce beneficial results then in the Solomons … Here is an object worthy indeed the devotion of one’s life’. Charles Morris Woodford devoted his working life to pursuing this dream, becoming the first British Resident Commissioner in 1897 and remaining in office until 1915, establishing the colonial state almost singlehandedly. His career in the Pacific extended beyond the Solomon Islands. He worked briefly for the Western Pacific High Commission in Fiji, was a temporary consul in Samoa, and travelled as a Government Agent on a small labour vessel returning indentured workers to the Gilbert Islands. As an independent naturalist he made three successful expeditions to the islands, and even climbed Mt Popomanaseu, the highest mountain in Guadalcanal. However, his natural history collection of over 20,000 specimens, held by the British Museum of Natural History, has not been comprehensively examined. The British Solomon Islands Protectorate was established in order to control the Pacific Labour Trade and to counter possible expansion by French and German colonialists. It remaining an impoverished, largely neglected protectorate in the Western Pacific whose economic importance was large-scale copra production, with its copra considered the second-worst in the world. This book is a study of Woodford, the man, and what drove his desire to establish a colonial protectorate in the Solomon Islands. In doing so, it also addresses ongoing issues: not so much why the independent state broke down, but how imperfectly it was put together in the first place.
