Introduction / History

The Alu Mono people originate from the Solomon Islands. Their native language is Mono, and they are part of the broader Pacific Islander affinity bloc. Historically, the Mono, Alu have lived in the Solomon Islands, but a small group has migrated to the United States.

What Are Their Lives Like?

Most are subsistence farmers, growing and harvesting coconuts, or fishermen. They are one of the least developed countries of the world despite potential mining opportunities. Their tourist industry is hurting as well.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Christianity is the primary religion among the Alu Mono in the United States, with many identifying as Christian. However, only a very small number are considered evangelical believers. Their religious practices may include attending local churches, participating in Christian holidays, and maintaining spiritual traditions from their homeland. The influence of Christianity likely stems from missionary efforts in the Solomon Islands, though the level of religious engagement in the U.S. varies among individuals.

What Are Their Needs?

The Alu Mono community in the Solomon Islands faces challenges related to cultural preservation, spiritual engagement, and social visibility.

Economically, the Solomon Islands is not doing well. Infrastructure is lacking; they need more roads, and there is no railway system.
