Core Values and Beliefs
The tribe places emphasis on traditional values and the promotion of peace and unity. They hold ceremonial dances to strengthen their unity, and often share food and objects among families within the tribe to promote peaceful relations.
Giving to others is a large part of their interactions. However, they place as much emphasis on receiving gifts. Much like the John Frum movement, which is close in proximity to the Prince Philip movement, they await their god to return to the island and bring them gifts.
The concepts of good and evil trace back to the presence of spirits on the island. Their sacred places and objects are things that either unite the tribe, such as their sacred meeting place in the village, or relate to Prince Philip, like the signed photo they once received from him. A biography of Prince Philip given to them by a visitor is handled with extreme care, and the photos are hung up in a central place for worship. These are the things that are often incorporated into their prayer.
