Little is known about the Polynesians of the Nukuria atoll in Papua New Guinea. This paper
presents a reconstruction of the pre-contact Nukuria socio-political organization according to the contemporaneous
local oral tradition. It is based on the data collected during a linguistic expedition to the
atoll in 2013. Surprisingly, historical ethnography of Nukuria is possible in spite of the fact that the atoll
was discovered almost two hundred years ago and in spite of the fact that the population was devastated
by post-contact diseases and reduced to 15 persons in the late 1800s. The data collected are of interest for
those concerned with the historical anthropology of Polynesia and reconstruction of proto-Polynesian
society. The small society under consideration is a vivid example of the significance of ecological constraints
on the development of social
