Father Baldwin spent several years at the Sacred Heart Mission in the Trobriand Islands

In an introduction to his work, Father Baldwin says that Biga Boyowa is the "language of the district commissioner's office [in the Trobriands area], mission translations, school programmes and the anthropological works of Malinowski, Powell, Uveroi, and others." He goes on: "Mastery of Biga Boyowa will enable conversation with people of the Lousancays, Marshall Bennets, Woodlarks, Laughlans, Amphletts and a goodly number of those living to the south"
