Read the legend below to see how SILOLONA got her name. 

The Legend of Silolona 

Long ago when the earth was still young, the gallant and  fearless Atuf fell in love with the most beautiful woman in all  Tanimbar. Not only Silolona’s beauty but her inner strength  and skill in weaving and basketry made her the ideal wife for  the strapping handsome Atuf. In the time of the ancestors the  sun was too close to the earth. Life was so harsh that Silolona died in the full flower of her youth. Atuf deeply mourned her  death yet vowed to make the world a safer place for all his  people. Inspired by Silolona’s spirit, he conceived a bold and  daring plan to build a boat capable of sailing towards the sun. When the boat was launched Atuf’s pure and powerful voice called forth the spirit of his beloved wife to join him on  his dangerous journey. Atuf gave the name Silolona to his  magnificent new boat. After a long and arduous voyage under  the blazing heat the monstrous sun Atuf once again called fourth the spirit of Silolona. With renewed strength Atuf then  hurled his magical spear shattering the sun and creating all  the stars and constellations. The world became a safer place  for all mankind.
