Appendix #1: Information on Kiribati for students or teachers Kiribati was one of the Micronesian Islands in the Pacific Ocean. It lies on the equator south of Hawaii and Marshall Islands. Kiribati was so unique because of its own history, culture, people, food and their language. As for the history of Kiribati, it was beginning in the 18 th century when two British captains, Gilbert and Marshall, discovered the central and northern islands of the Gilberts group, which they named Gilberts. While the Gilbert Islands group became independent in July 1979. The majority of the coral islands of both Gilberts and Ellice consist of ring shaped atolls or coral reefs that surround lagoons. http://www.janeresture.com/kiribati_history/egan22.html th century. Also Kiribati consists of 16 small groups of islands, which are Makin, Tabiteuea Maiaki, Arorae, Beru, Abaiang, Tamana, Abemama, Onotoa, Nikunau, Tabiteuea Meang, Aranuka, Maiana, Tarawa, Kuria, Nonouti, and Marakei. These are only the group of Kiribati Islands and then the other two group of islands that are part of Kiribati too are the Line and Phoenix Groups which are Washington, Fanning, Christmas, Malden, Starbuck, Vostok, Caroline ao ai Flint here the map of these islands: http://www.janeresture.com/kiribati_line/index.htm

Kiribati Log David and 24 others globetrotters gathered in Tacoma, Washington, and joined the Peace Corps Volunteers (PCV). PCV Group K-25 departed for the Central Pacific nation called Kiribati [Kiri-bass]; previously knows as the Gilbert Islands. Kiribati is a group of 33 low-lying atolls that extend 4 degrees north to 4 degrees south of the equator and stretch across the International Date Line. After island hopping between Hawaii and Fiji, the PCV landed in the capital - Tawara, Kiribati. Three-month of training started by sailing 19 hours under the Southern Cross Constellation to the island of Abemama. The island is located 150 kilometers south/south-east of Tawara. During this training period, David and several other PCV [I-Matangs - white people] had the opportunity to fly to Marakei for two weeks of training with the local PCVs. (It's a tough life, but someone has to do it ) Happy Birthday David While on Marakei, David has been snorkeling on the reef. The coral ranges from 5 feet deep to over 30 feet. David talks about of hundreds of fish and is unable to describe the colors of the reef fish. While swimming in the morning surf, David described several dolphins were playing the waves. Left Marakei and flew back to Tarawa in a small plane as the co-pilot.

Pacific News Member of Culture Gallery Introduction ANGLONESIA Anglonesia is a neologism used here to refer to Australia New Zealand and the United States in the Pacific (ANZUS). The progress from colonialism to independence in the Pacific Islands region (both north and south of the equator) has not brought an end to the influence of the former colonial powers. Presently, there are ten territories or dependencies linked directly to an extraregional government, and five others are constrained in their foreign policies by the terms of their free associaton compacts. Like these territories, the independent states are also affected by the political, security and economic policies of the extraregional powers. There continues to be an overlap of interests between outsiders and islanders, which is likely to persist even as more island stated begin to exert their influence more and more within the region as well as globally.

Originally published as The Natural History of Birdlife of Christmas Island, this book was written thanks to a grant from the Overseas Development Administration (British Development Division, Fiji).

When the Banabans had to leave their ancestral homeland as a result of the devastation caused by the phosphate mining industry they settled on the island of Rabi in Fiji. Unfortunately the traumatic upheavals which the community has been through since the beginning of the century, and particularly since the Japanese occupation, have resulted in an understandable loss of confidence and a questioning of their identity and future. The Rabi born, in particular, have little conception of their rich historical heritage and former culture. This book, therefore, has been prepared to provide the present and future generations of Rabi islanders with all that thas been recorded of their former way of life on Banaba from the time their forebears first settled it over a thousand years ago and created a prosperous, self-supporting and happy society numbering several thousand.
