The Malaita massacre inflicted a large number of deaths on the island of Malaita in the Solomon Islands in late 1927. William R. Bell, the District Officer of Malaita in the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, and many of his deputies were killed by Basiana and other Kwaio warriors as part of a plan to resist the head tax imposed by the colonial authorities and what was perceived as an assault on the traditional values. A retributive raid was organised that ultimately resulted in the death of about 60 Kwaio, in addition to nearly 200 incarcerated and a systematic destruction and desecration of important Kwaio ancestral shrines and ritual objects. The event was of extreme significance for the Kwaio people, and has greatly affected their way of life.

  • Резня на Малаите привела к гибели многих людей на Соломоновых островах в конце 1927 года. Уильям Р. Белл, окружной офицер Малаиты в протекторате Британских Соломоновых островов, и его подчиненные были убиты воинами квайо во главе с лидером Basiana. Карательный отряд был организован в знак протеста сбору подушного налога, введенному колониальными властями. Местным населением это было воспринято как покушение на традиционные ценности. Результатом рейда стала гибель около 60 воинов kwaio, в плену и заключёнными под стражу оказались около 200 человек, систематически уничтожались и осквернялись важные родовые святыни и ритуальные объекты kwaio. Данные события сильно повлияли на их образ жизни. (ru)
