Produktbeschreibung
Oral tradition is a significant aspect of the lives of most indigenous communities. Myths, legends, dances and songs have been passed down orally throughout the generations. Such indigenous knowledge needs to be documented if any indigenous community chooses to maintain it for future generations. This book looks at the traditional relationship and identity of Solomon Islands living in Fiji by tracing their place through indigenous knowledge and Pacific epistemologies. It also explores the notion of tauvu (springing from the same ancestor) relationship between the Solomoni and the indigenous Fijians living in Fiji by reflecting on how it came about and how it has been maintained throughout Fiji. There is the use of ethnography and participatory action research which also includes the use of appropriate Fiji and Solomon Islands cultural protocols to enable access for interviews and community groups. This book has also identified the important aspects of the tauvu traditional relationships and it has also clarified and described the history and depths of the relationship between the taukei (indigenous Fijians) and Solomoni. Thus encouraging readers to know their talanoa and identity
