And this is it. Just 1 6 of a square mile in area. Anuta is so small, that no matter where you are, the sound of the waves is ever present. Life on Anuta has changed little since these people' s ancestors arrived here nearly 400 years ago. Many Anutans still spend their entire lives on this remote speck of land. Anuta' s isolation has meant that the 300 people who live here have had to become completely selfsufficient. Almost every square metre of the island is cultivated to grow staple crops like taro or breadfruit. Some of this food will be stored in the ground an insurance policy against cyclones. With few trees on the island, their wooden outrigger canoes are treasured items, and some have been in continuous use for nearly 150 years. Without them, these people would struggle to survive here, since it' s the sea that Anutans look to for most of their needs. |
