Culturally Appropriate Health Care in Kwaio, Solomon Islands: an Action Research Approach Culturally Appropriate Health Care in Kwaio, Solomon Islands: An Action Research Approach David MacLaren B.App.Sci., M.P.H. A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Public Health Health Group Griffith University December 2006 Abstract The Kwaio people of central Malaita, Solomon Islands who retain the culture and religion of their ancestors, face a stark choice when seeking treatment at Atoifi Adventist Hospital—relinquish fundamental precepts of Kwaio culture and religion by entering the hospital, or remain true to Kwaio beliefs and stay away. Many choose the latter. The result is considerable untreated acute and chronic illness and preventable death. For people who have converted to Christianity Atoifi Adventist Hospital poses fewer cultural barriers and is one of the most respected and best equipped hospitals in Solomon Islands. However, for those who have chosen not to become Christian, the ongoing exclusion they face has resulted in antagonism and mistrust between their community and Atoifi. This thesis describes and analyses the colonial-Christian discourse in which the hospital was established and action taken to achieve a long held desire of many Kwaio people—a facility at Atoifi where health services are attainable without the rejection and desecration of Kwaio culture and religion. Using a Participatory Action Research methodology that challenges the dominant colonial-Christian paradigm, this study seeks to understand the nature of Participatory Action Research through its pursuit of culturally appropriate health services at Atoifi. This thesis outlines how the research process brought together a disparate collection of groups and individuals to analyse the oppressive situation at Atoifi and propose action to establish a culturally appropriate health facility there. It describes how, in the final stages of the participatory planning process for the facility, Atoifi was thrown into crisis when its Australian business manager was murdered on campus. The resultant near collapse of hospital services and the tenuous relationship between the hospital and the local community required the facility be re-conceptualised. A local village health worker, a key collaborator in the research process, who had established a culturally appropriate health post in the mountains fifteen years previously was central to this re-conceptualisation. He coordinated local community action which eventually led to the community funding and constructing the facility at Atoifi. This facility does not require the rejection or desecration of Kwaio culture to access health services at Atoifi. ii The implications of using Participatory Action Research as an anti-colonial methodology and its utility in addressing oppressive situations such at that at Atoifi are discussed in the final section of the thesis. The methodology’s application and ability to facilitate significant personal and social change are embedded in the emancipatory theory established by Paulo Freire. The importance of participative processes which work with people not on or to people is discussed as well as the importance of embracing flexibility and complexity, rather than attempting to control. Reflecting on Freire’s work, the thesis finally analyses how love of people can act as a foundation for commitment to others through dialogue and participation and how, based on this, praxis has the ability to liberate oppressive situations such as those faced by the Kwaio at Atoifi. iii Statement This work has not previously been submitted for a degree or diploma in any university. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the thesis itself.

    Registered at ths Gemara Peg Office, Sydney, for lir...lambda, Vol. 31, No. 7. Sydney, Monday, February 14, 1927 I y Post as a fiewspatiort WAITING ON US BY LEON A. SMITH Ages have lapsed since the divine commission, " Go, teach all men," from Jesus' lips had birth, Since first was uttered the inspired petition, " Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth," Yet still delays the day of its fruition, Still rests on earth the pall of moral night ; And multitudes, in sad and lost condition, Still sit in darkness, waiting for the light— Waiting on us. Heroes of faith, the holy men of old, Apostles, saints, and martyrs, who laid down Their lives, in toi and sacrifice untold, Ere this should have received the victor's crown. Not now are they in glory with their Lord, Though round their names a light immortal spreads ; But all oblivious of their rich reward, They still are sleeping in their dusty beds, Waiting on us. The Son of God, who at unmeasured cost Redeemed mankind, has not received His own ; Not now He rules o'er man's dominion lost, Not yet He sits a King on David's throne. The wounds of Calvary are still unhealed, And Heaven-defying sinners fill the land ; And looking on a remnant yet unsealed, The great Omnipotent withholds His hand, Waiting on us. Unfallen worlds, that circle farthest space, Are listening for the final burst of praise In God's unfinished symphony of grace, Telling the end of earth's discordant days. Seeking the hour when sin's destructive reign Shall be no more—the controversy done— While yet creation groans and sighs in pain, Earth, heaven, and all the universe are one, Waiting on us.

  • The Kwaio Struggle for Cultural Autonomy Roger M. Keesing November, 1990
    CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CIS Archive # 2586 C/90-7 Resistance: The Kwaio Struggle for Cultural Autonomy Roger M. Keesing November, 1990 A WORKING PAPER From THE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES Myron Weiner, Director MIT E38-648 292 Main Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 Presented at a Center for International Studies seminar "Peoples and States: Ethnic Identity and Struggle," November 8, 1990. RESISTANG: THE KWAIO STRUGGLE FOR CULTURAL AUTONOMY Roger M. Keesing The Australian National University/ McGill University INTRODUCTION- In the mountains above the eastern coast of Malaita, Solomon Islands, some two thousand Kwaio tribespeople still sacrifice pigs to their ancestors, still carry bows and arrows and clubs, still give mortuary feasts using strung shell valuables, still subsist on food they grow in rain forest swiddens (Keesing 1978b, 1982b). Yet only 75 miles away, where the Guadalcanal campaign was fought almost half a century ago, jet planes now bring businessmen, development experts, and tourists to Honiara, the small but bustling capital of the UNs 150th member nation. The Kwaio traditionalists follow their ancestral religion and customs not out of isolation -- they have been part of the world system for 120 years -- but out of struggle. This struggle locks them in conflict with the postcolonial state: they refuse to pay taxes, reject development schemes and logging; they demand massive compensation for past grievances of the colonial period; they reject as best they can an alien legal system, threatening violence against police now afraid to enter their mountains; they demand that they be allowed to live according to "custom" on the land of their ancestors, not Western ways and laws; and they battle the invasive forces of evangelistic Christianity, as represented both by missionaries and by their own Kwaio cousins now living as Christians in coastal villages.

  • Solomon Islands-Truth and Reconciliation Commission Final
    SOLOMON ISLANDS TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION Confronting the Truth for a better Solomon Islands FINAL REPORT FEBRUARY 2012 Honiara, Solomon Islands 1 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document is the Final Report of the Solomon Islands Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), mandated by an Act of the Solomon Islands Parliament in 2008. The Commission of five members worked from 2009 through 2011 to discover the causes, details and effects of the country’s “ethnic tension” crisis of 1998-2003, which nearly destroyed the country, killed at least 200 persons, and adversely affected many thousands more. The TRC did its work through conducting public and closed hearings; collecting statements from victims, perpetrators, and other involved parties; facilitating focus group interviews with all sectors involved in the conflict; and organizing research on issues related to the conflict. The first volume contains chapters discussing the mandate of the TRC, the historical background of the Solomon Islands conflict, the timeline and details of the conflict, the various militant groups (especially, the Guadalcanal Revolutionary Army/Isatabu Freedom Movement, the Malaita Eagle Force, the Black Sharks, and the Guadalcanal Liberation Front), and the response of the Solomon Islands Government. The second volume discusses human rights violations committed by all parties during the conflict, including the state, non-state militant groups and state-authorized Special Operations conducted by police and former militants. After an initial chapter discussing the domestic and international legal framework for the TRC’s human rights work, there are separate chapters on the six human rights violations identified by the TRC as most prevalent during the conflict: killings, abductions/illegal detentions, torture/ill-treatment, sexual violence, property violations and forced displacements.

  • Establishing `Aoke Station, 1909–14
    7 Qaibala: Establishing `Aoke Station, 1909–14 Every white man on Malaita knows the risk he runs and must take his chances, if he is not prepared to do this it were better to go elsewhere for safety. It is not to be expected that because white men settle in a wild part of the group for their own ends, that the Government will be able to assist and protect them. —Acting Resident Commissioner Frederic J. Barnett, 30 June 19151 PS. We have told the heathen that you are coming, but they only laugh. —Louisa Tarasol-Eurora (Mrs Charlie), Fo`odo, 7 March 19102 British Authority before the Protectorate The third aspect of change that engulfed Malaita, after the labour trade and Christianity, and unified the island was the establishment of a government base. The Western Pacific High Commission (WPHC) extended its reach into the protectorate in the 1890s, but had no presence on Malaita until 1909. Once `Aoke was opened, British authority could slowly be extended and enforced, although until the 1920s and 1930s there remained no substantial protectorate authority on the island. Until 1909, the Queensland and Fiji labour trades and Christian missions 1 SINA, BSIP 14/10, A/RC FJB to A/DO Ralph B.

Analysis of Malaita after 1909 must expand its focus to concentrate on the slow institution government control. Whereas early chapters dealt with labour and missions as independent entities, from 1909 they were subservient to government processes emanating from `Aoke and Tulagi, at least in theory.

  • October 2015
    OCEANIA NEWSLETTER October 2015 WELCOME!!! A colleague recently made the comment that he was an ‘accidental academic’, living and working here in Christchurch both during and post earthquake. In my case, it is more ‘accidental social commentator’ as I look, listen and learn about what is happening to Christchurch and its people. A news item on the radio recently grabbed my attention. A spokesperson for an insurance company was full of enthusiasm over the fact that in the last month they had settled the highest monthly number of post-earthquake claims. He went on to say that they expected to settle all claims by 2017. Now, in perspective, we are 4 ½ years post-earthquake and all claims will be settled 6 years after the event. No mention was made of the hardship faced by their clients having their lives, housing-wise, on hold for that time, living in damaged houses, rental accommodation, crowded into space with relatives, and even living in their garages, all the time waiting for, and even battling with, insurance companies to make settlement. Oh yes, then there is the time taken to find a site, a plan, a builder and get consents to build, and the up-to-twelve months to build, with some builders going bankrupt and unable to finish the house or make refunds of money paid. No wonder that there has been an increase in mental health issues because of all this strain. This is all about recovery from the disaster, attention, albeit seems to have been applied, even if slowly, to structures with little thought about people.
