Siniqa ni Lauru – The Forest Foods of Lauru Compiled and edited by Tony Jansen and Myknee Qusa Sirikolo

This rare and insightful work documents the traditional knowledge of the forests and land of Lauru (the Solomon Islands), capturing the foods, practices, and wisdom that have sustained local communities for generations. Produced by the people of Lauru for the people of Lauru, it is intended to inspire future generations to maintain and honor this rich heritage.

I acquired my copy while visiting the Solomon Islands, making this physical edition particularly rare and meaningful within my personal library. While PDF versions may exist online, owning the original print provides a tangible connection to the culture, community, and knowledge it represents.
