Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document discusses what it means to be I-Kiribati
(native to Kiribati). The focus is on the unique experiences of the Kiribati as
residents of widely dispersed atolls surrounded by a vast ocean. These include the
centrality of village councils in governing local affairs, and an increasing reliance on
imported food and remittance from migrant workers. For maps, glossary, and bibliography
see Mason (1985).
