“…Another canoe seized in 1910 from the Kalikogu or inner lagoon side east of Nusa Roviana, probably from the old village at the western end of Honiavasa Island, was regularly used, as described by Silas Oka, to patrol throughout the Group, including into the shallow lagoons where previously the tomoko were hidden. The effect of this close policing, as well as depopulation through European diseases and the benefits of the European copra trade-which could be carried out without the intervention of chiefs-was the end of head-hunting and the decline in the power of chiefs (Sheppard, 2019).
