interior. When you observe the map, you'll notice there is not one village in the interior of Choiseul—and there is a very good reason for that. The island of Santa Isabel has big Giants still living there in two different areas, but their population is far fewer than that of Guadalcanal. Central northeast and central north are the two areas where they can be found on that island, but just ask anyone there and they will steer you in the right direction. Makira, which is east of Guadalcanal, has only the small, super-strong, dwarf-like Giants, which can also be found on Guadalcanal. In 1996, there was a front-page picture of one of these four-foot "Chowa-Chowa" in the Solomon Star newspaper. Malaita has a very rich history with these giant people. The Ramo of Malaita are the same as the Giants of Guadalcanal, although reportedly culturally different. There is also evidence of a lost South West Pacific civilisation scattered across different parts of Malaita. Around a mountain near Mount Mala in north Malaita's interior is a perfectly fitted large stone block wall and path spiralling around the mountain. This path eads to a flat area on top of the mountain, where another large stone block wall separates to a igher split-level flat area where an "altar" can be found. Some hundred metres further on is a burial site that has a perfectly lat, approximately 18 x 6 x | foot ~5.5 x 1.8 x 0.3 metre] stone upon it. The bush people further away rom that area say that a Ramo of great importance is buried there. [There are also hieroglyphic inscriptions chiselled into these stone block walls. In Kwaio, a place where my wife is rom, obelisks with strange inscriptions upon them can be ound deep in the bush. In an area of Kwara'ae, north of Kwaio, there is a large burial place in the jungle with thousands of Giant Ramo skeleton bones scattered upon the ground. A hut in one village not far from this area has as one of its main support poles a Ramo femur bone measuring nearly eight feet [~2.5 metres] in length! On Guadalcanal, the Giants are common knowledge to all of the local people, and due to past interactions they play a major part in the history, culture and folklore of the people. The Guadalcanal Giants can be found in the 1,000-square- kilometre area of tropical jungle mountains west of Mount west Popomanaseu. It is my dream that one day soon these remarkable people will be recognised and that we may all benefit from the knowledge. oo About the Author: Marius Boirayon was born in Australia and raised from the age of five in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.
