		His contributions are primarily ethnographic rather than theoretical, but his ethnographic writings on Bellona are genuinely remarkable, rivaling Firth’s on Tikopia for depth, breadth, and empathetic insight.
		Monberg is virtually unique in both having assembled a distinguished team of researchers to conduct a comprehensive study of Bellona’s cultural and natural environment, and having paved the way for an almost uninterrupted line of Danish researchers who have made Bellona perhaps the most thoroughly documented of all the western Polynesian outliers.
		Among the scholars who followed Monberg to Bellona is Rolf Kuschel who has, himself, attended several ASAO meetings and participated in a number of our sessions.
