History
Donatien Coicaud was born in Nantes, France and joined his brother Jean as a Marist priest in the Solomon Islands in 1912. In 1914 he founded the mission of Buma, Central Malaita and was active in teaching boys from the villages of North and Central Malaita to read and write in their own languages, and had them write stories they had heard at home. He left material behind on the languages of Langalanga, Kwaio and Lau. After Coicaud's death in 1957, Father Christian Kamphuis inherited the the material on Lau and other North Malaita languages.
