	Banaba - History
		A large fleet of canoes, and the larger baurua, assembled under the leadership of the descendants of Auriaria and Nei Tituabine, the High Chiefs of their principal island of Matang.
		The cut-off piece was thrown by Auriaria to the east and became Tamana, by which is meant that Tamana was colonized by Banabans, a fact which has been acknowledged by the Tamanans themselves from their earliest contact with Europeans to the present day.
		The Tabwewans did indeed decide that they had enough people and strictly prohibited any further arrivals by canoe from landing; as a result after several generations they began to believe that their ancestors had lived there from the beginning of the world and that Banaba was 'the Navel of the Universe'.
