CUSTOMARY LAWS OF SOLOMON ISLANDS
Solomon Islands is a country of many cultures and customs. Natural resource Investors who are
interested in Solomon Islands therefore must have a fair idea of the cultures and customs of particular
Islands. It is not-uncommon that difficulties arise mostly from discontent from resource owners and
investors lost investment and resources in attempting to resolve such discontents. We therefore wish to
provide a glimpse from what is expected.
ISABEL PROVINCE-RESOURCES.
Whitlam K Togamae lawyers are native Isabel Islanders and know the Island culture and traditions. Chief
Cecil Togamae, it's customary law & traditional dispute advisor has resolved disputes between
tribes, families and individual Isabel basing on Isabel dispute resolution as practiced from ages. His wealth
of Isabel custom and more than 30 years of settling disputes earned him so much respect and a leader in
the Isabel community and he has so much to offer.
Land in Isabel is owned by tribe. There is more than just this simple customary law in Isabel. In the land
there are resources, forests, rivers, the land itself etc that stays within the land. In order to understand
and identify the owners of the resources in Isabel Island, one must know the main lineages in Isabel and
how their ancestors moved around the Island. The traditional respect between in-laws, uncles, aunties,
parents and grandparents. One has to know which tribal blood he/she comes from, and which tribal
blood he gives birth and nurtured.
Lineages.
There are three main lineages in Isabel, directly linked to three totemic birds-Parrot, Cuckatoo, and Eagle.
The first one is Thauvia, the second is Phosamogo, and the third is Nakmiru funei. This runs through the
legislated boundaries of Isabel Province. Every Isabellian connects itself to either of these. To this day, it
is unimaginable for one to marry a person of the same lineage.
