Description

This series contains material from Tikopia (in the Santa Cruz Islands), focusing on the local language of the same name as well as local anthropology and sociology. It includes reprints of papers on local cultural issues, local texts in Tikopia (typed by Capell), religious texts in Tikopia, and comparative vocabulary lists (English-Tikopia) compiled by Capell.

Tikopia is the southernmost of the Santa Cruz Islands, located in the province of Temotu. It is also the southernmost of the Solomon Islands. Tikopia is a high island, covering an area of 5 kmē (2 sq. mi.). The island is the remnant of an extinct volcano, its highest point, Mt. Reani, reaching an elevation of 380 m (1,247 ft) above sea level. The population of Tikopia is about 1200. Historically the tiny island has supported a high-density population of a thousand or so. Strict reproductive policy prevented further increase. Unlike most of the Solomon Islands, the inhabitants are Polynesians, and their language Tikopian is a member of the Samoic branch of the Polynesian languages.
