Gods
I have developed a minor obsession with the island of Nukuoro and its gods (pre missionary, naturally. I will spare you my thoughts on missionaries).
Nukuoro is a little atoll near Pohnpei (relatively speaking). It is very different to Pohnpei cultrually, as its inhabitants are polynesian, not micronesian. (There is another polynesian island in Pohnpei state, called Kapingamarangi).
Anyway, the people of Nukuoro, as well as growing exceptionally gorgeous black pearls, have a little known set of gods. They look to me like aliens, and seem to be proof that we were indeed visited by strange beings from out space.
Maybe that's how nan madol got built.......
and if anyone has seen the new Indiana Jones film, you will know this is probably true and I could be onto something big. I would just like to point out that I bought my gods WAY BEFORE HE THOUGHT OF IT.
These are my babies:
There is a man god, called Iagausema, and a powerful female god called Kave.
Cool, eh?
