Preferred term

Tikopia  

Definition

  • Tikopia, a Polynesian community near the eastern border of the Solomon Islands, is arguably the most thoroughly documented small-scale society in the ethnographic record. That documentation exists primarily as a result of investigations by Sir Raymond Firth in 1928–29, 1952,1966, and 1973. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Tikopia]
