Environmental Peacebuilding, Indigenous Epistemologies and Experience
Environmental peacebuilding, as a construct and practice, holds potential to recognise environmental conflicts and respond to them; however, indigenous perspectives can be obscured in its related processes, projects and reviews. This article draws on in depth research by the authors from within indigenous communities in the Solomon Islands to compare local experiences of environmental rupture, conflict and change. This comparison of local experie…

Formative Research Using Settings and Motives to Explore Child Faeces Disposal and Management in Rural Solomon Islands
Unsafe child faeces management can lead to adverse health and wellbeing outcomes for children. In Solomon Islands, diarrhoeal disease is a leading cause of under-5 mortality, though there is limited research into CFM practices and promotion of safe behaviours. The formative research applied a Behaviour-Centred Design framework to investigate the habits, motives and settings related to child faeces management in rural Solomon Islands villages. Dat…
Teaching and Conserving Pacific Languages
This paper discusses language change in the Pacific and some of the factors causing it, such as the escalating rate of transnational migration among Pacific Islanders, the immutable use of English and French in government, education and business, and rapid urbanization so that children born and raised in urban areas lack the competence to speak their heritage languages due to their parents being from two different language groups. The paper sugge…
Divergent Discourses
"How We Know"
We examine Kwara'ae (Solomon Islands) indigenous epistemology and indigenous critical praxis, including sources of knowledge and strategies for validating and critiquing evidence and knowledge construction. To illustrate indigenous epistemology in action, we focus on the Kwara'ae Genealogy Project, a research effort by rural villagers aimed at creating an indigenous written account of Kwara'ae culture. In recording, (re)constructing, and writing …
Inside Out
(Re)Modeling Culture in Kwara'ae
We examine children's cognitive skills and cultural representations in naturally occurring discourse, integrating theoretical perspectives from psychology, cognitive anthropology, and sociolinguistics. We focus on two interactional events recorded in our 10-year study of children's language socialization in Kwara'ae (Solomon Islands) involving the same child at ages 2 and 4 years interacting with an older child and an adult, respectively, around …
Adult Education, Language Change, and Issues of Identity and Authenticity in Kwara'ae (Solomon Islands)
Less endangered than other languages discussed in this issue, Kwara'ae provides a useful illustration of the early stages of language erosion and the importance of language to cultural survival. We argue that the foundation of a people's identity and cultural authenticity is their culturally shared indigenous epistemology, embodied in and expressed through their heritage language. We examine these points in nonformal adult education workshops aim…
Strategic Cooperation and Competition in the Pacific Islands
Black Islanders
Schooling, Knowledge, and Power
Western schooling has been a major agent of social change in the Pacific islands for over a century. We examine planned and unplanned social transformations associated with Western-style schooling in one Pacific society: the Solomon Islands. Indigenous and introduced models of education are briefly described, including the social distribution of access of schooling, competing theories of education and knowledge, and the role of schooling in maint…
The Impact of church affiliation on language use in Kwara'ae (Solomon Islands)
Christian churches are central to modern social and political organization in the Pacific islands, yet little research has been conducted on their role in intrasocietal diversity in language attitudes and use. We examine church affiliation and its impact on language use, identity, and change among Kwara'ae speakers in the Solomon Islands, where intense competition for converts and the association of particular churches with modernization and deve…
