Funded Activity Summary

Beyond the New World: A 16th century Spanish colony and its impact on indigenous populations in the Solomon Islands. The 16th Century Spanish explorations represent the first contacts between Solomon Islanders and Europeans. These interactions encompassed social and economic negotiations, conflicts and potential biological impacts whose long-term consequences have not yet been adequately explored or understood. However, later Solomon Islands demography and socio-political structures may have their roots in these exchanges. Given Australia's commitment to the security of this near neighbour, this study will provide a benchmark for understanding the long-term history and influences within Melanesian-European relationships. Collaboration with the Solomon Islands Museum will strengthen and promote links between researchers and cultural and academic institutions.
