| Summary: | Santa Cruz Islanders are Melanesians who live on an archipelago called the Santa Cruz Islands in the Solomon Islands. Santa Cruz Islanders are one of several ethnic groups in the Solomon Islands. The Santa Cruz Islanders speak three closely related languages that belong to the East Papuan language family. The economy of the Santa Cruz Islanders is agricultural. The most important traditional crops are yams, taro, sweet potatoes, bananas, breadfruit, coconuts, and Canarium almonds. This collection on the Santa Cruz Islanders consists of twelve documents with two time foci, one from the late nineteenth through early twentieth centuries (as represented by the works of Graebner and Speiser), and the second by the extensive field work of William H. Davenport in the Santa Cruz Island chain from the late 1950s to 1960. The primary ethnographic focus is on the principle island of Santa Cruz (Nendö). Other islands of the Santa Cruz group discussed are: Duff Island or Taumako, Utupua and Vanikoro, and the Main and Outer Reef Islands.
