	Banaba Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Banaba Island (also Ocean Island), an island in the Pacific Ocean, lies west of the Gilbert Island chain and east of Nauru.
		According to "Te Rii Ni Banaba—The Backbone of Banaba" by Raobeia Ken Sigrah, Banaban oral history supports the claim that the Te Aka clan, which originated in Melanesia, were the original inhabitants of Banaba (Ocean Island), having arrived before the arrival of later migrations from the East Indies and Kiribati.
		One reason given for the maintenance of a community on Banaba, at a monthly cost of F$12,000, is that if the island were to become uninhabited, the Kiribati government might take over the administration of the island, and integrate it with the rest of the country.

	Banaba
		Banaba is west of the Gilbert Group and just south of the equator.
		Banaba is an ecological curiosity - see how mining has trashed a unique island and traditional culture - but because facilities are limited you will need to get approval from the island council before you arrive.
		Little of this money (none?) was spent in Banaba (since there was no-one to spend it on other than BPC employees), and naturally it drove a wedge between the Banabans attempts to claim justice and the pre-independence Gilberts government who had little interest in disturbing the status quo.
