		Meetings with the elders of Bonriki village - the traditional owners of the water reserve - also revealed that the study was unknowingly caught up in a much wider, social issue.
		There was an ongoing struggle involving the elders and the government, with the elders seeking a considerable increase in financial and social compensation from the government, over the establishment of a water reserve and an international airport on Bonriki land.
		The conflict affected the reponses of the villagers, who thought that the research team were somehow involved in the struggle.

		The objectives of the investigation were to involve the people of Bonriki village in the project from the outset to completion, in order to obtain their co-operation in the project and identify any concerns or objections to the establishment of equipment and conducting studies in the Bonriki area.
		It was reported that the village was previously self sufficient with food and sold copra but since land had been lost to the reserve and the airport, they had to buy coconuts and depend on money from the government and other sources to live.
		It was indicated that the village residents appreciated being consulted and that this had not been done in quite the same way before despite projects of a much greater impact being undertaken in the Bonriki area.

		The causeway connecting Bairiki with Betio—the two main population centers on the capital island—is lined with huge piles of mixed rubbish, some of it burning.
		The once highly respected village elders are losing their time-honored decision-making powers to government-sponsored island councils of elected, often less-experienced young men.
		As the rigidly prescribed movements are perfected and performed in front of an entire village gathering, they are believed to preserve connectedness with the spirits and gods who created the world, and with the souls of ancestors who sprang from those gods.

		In the fastest canoes this might be for half an hour or more, and afterwards a long beat home against the Trades with their 'catch', when inevitably some would be spilled and some would be spoiled, but always a little would be saved to give some meaning to the day's endeavour.
		On Bairiki, an islet of Tarawa, there was a stone which was considered to be the 'rabata' of the goddess Tituabine.
		This deity was the 'atua' (family ghost) of the Bairiki family group, which treated her as a guardian spirit, abstained from eating the flesh of her creature, the Stingray, and made offerings of coconuts and food at full-moon every month to her stone.

		Water fees would be collected from village water consumers for maintenance, operation, and replacement of water supply infrastructure at a proposed rate of $1.00 per household per month for handpump users and $2.50 per household per month for solar pump users.

		It was a marvelous experience for me, living a very simple lifestyle (electricity for two hours a day, collecting and boiling rain water for drinking and cooking, traveling by local outrigger canoe) among beautiful, hospitable people in their Kiribati culture.
		I taught in a Catholic boarding school in the village of Taborio right on the ocean.
		Of course every village is pretty much right on the ocean because the islands are very small - look this way and you see the beautiful turquoise lagoon contained by coral reef; look that way and you see the beautiful turquoise of the Pacific Ocean.
