==Relationship to humans==
In the Nukumanu language of the [[Nukumanu Islands]] ([[Papua New Guinea]]), this species is usually called '''''tiritavoi'''''. Another Nukumanu name for it, '''''matakakoni''''', exists, but this is considered somewhat [[taboo]] and not used when children and women are around. The reason for this is that ''matakakoni'' means "bird that walks a little, then copulates", in reference to the pumping tail and thrusting head movements the ''Actitis'' species characteristically perform during foraging.<ref name=Hayman/><ref name=Haddon2004>{{cite journal |last=Hadden |first=D.W. |year=2004 |title=Birds of the northern atolls of the North Solomons Province of Papua New Guinea |journal=Notornis |volume=51 |issue=2 |pages=91–102 |url=http://notornis.osnz.org.nz/system/files/Notornis_51_2_91.pdf |access-date=2016-02-20 |archive-date=2020-01-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200114152801/https://www.notornis.osnz.org.nz/system/files/Notornis_51_2_91.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
