The Solomon Islands is a wonderful place to visit if you want to learn everything in the region known as Oceania. It made up of Melanesians, Polynesians, and Micronesians. 

Melanesians have lived in this group of islands for thousands of years, inhabiting the bigger islands such as Guadalcanal, Malaita, Choisel, Makira, Western Islands, and off-course, the Central chain of islands. They make up 90 % of the population of the entire country. 

The Polynesians arrived around 13th century, today they live on the out-skirt of the Solomon Islands. That period of time, Polynesians navigators sailed West and Southward in search of new lands and resources. Some settled in Fiji, others in Papua New Guinea, a number of them settled in the Solomon Islands, and the rest found Aotearoa, known today as New Zealand. 

The Micronesians, on the other hand, were brought to the Solomon Islands and Fiji by the British government. Today, the Micronesians, mainly from the islands of Kiribati, live and thrive in the Solomons, but maintained their Micronesian culture, language, and history. They settled mainly in the Western Province, Wagina, and some in the main town of Honiara.

Rennell Bellona people are perhaps the most influential Polynesians in Solomon Islands, in terms of sports, education, art, and culture. Their two islands situated some 180 km to the South of Guadalcanal in the open ocean. The two islands share a common ancestor, same history, and genealogy with little variation in pronunciation of words and in various traditions or customs.

The island of Bellona is the most populated of the two islands if the size of the island and the population is taken to consideration. It is about 11 km long and 8 km wide.
