According to Smith "the fact that we were unarmed was critical to the" f0 c0 \" w4 u4 w$ Q3 _; Q
success of the peace process in Bougainville. It set the tone for the whole

Also, because we were unarmed we couldn't scare anyone into doing anything,* w4 s& Y0 g* W; \ S6 O- j- U# I l
so we learned to communicate instead. That's where music came in."
