The Austronesian-speaking Sa of southern Pentecost Island live in nucleated villages and dispersed homesteads, practicing swidden horticulture (principally taro and yams) and fishing in rivers and coastal waters. The main social and political unit is the patrilineage. Christianity has ostensibly replaced ancestor worship, although traditional priests and sorcerers continue to practice.
