Tikopia is a small volcanic island that is part of the Solomon Islands. The inhabitants are Polynesian in language and culture. The Tikopia are primarily agriculturalists and fishermen, living in more than 20 nucleated villages, situated along the sandy coastal strip. A rise in population in the mid-twentieth century forced migration to surrounding islands where half the population now resides, including Honiara the capital of the Solomon Islands. Today, all Tikopia are Christians, belonging to the Church of Melanesia, which is part of the Anglican Communion.
