Cone Conical Cruz Huts Islander Pacific Roof Straw Motu Soloman
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the traditional architecture of the Temotu Province, also known as the Santa Cruz Province, in the Solomon Islands of the Pacific Ocean. Circa 1910s, the photograph showcases a collection of conical houses, each adorned with thatched straw roofs, nestled among lush greenery and palm trees. The houses, built on stilts, are characteristic of the Motu people, who are the indigenous inhabitants of the Temotu Province. The conical shape of the houses is a reflection of the cultural heritage of the islanders, who have been constructing such dwellings for generations. The roofs, made from natural materials, provide protection from the tropical climate and rain. The houses are also raised on stilts, allowing for air circulation and keeping the interiors cool. The Temotu Province, located in the eastern part of the Solomon Islands, is known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and rich marine life. The province is home to several small islands, each with its unique charm and traditional way of life. The people of Temotu continue to live in harmony with nature, relying on fishing and agriculture for their livelihoods. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the islanders and their cultural traditions. It is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the Pacific Islands and the importance of preserving the unique heritage and traditions of its people.
