  The Head Heeb: Reinterpreting democracy: customs, constitutions and the High Court of Tuvalu
In early 2003, the Brethren Church obtained a house on Nanumaga and began holding Bible study sessions that eventually attracted a tenth of the atoll's population.
Counsel for the applicant suggests that, even if the traditions of Nanumaga have been rooted in the presence of a single church, the earlier introduction of three other denominations has shown that the present culture of the island is one of religious tolerance.
I am satisfied there were grounds for the Falekaupule's decision that the introduction of the applicant's church was likely to be divisive and unsettling (as, indeed, it subsequently demonstrably was) and constituted a direct threat to the values and culture of the vast majority of the approximately 800 members of the island community.

 Nanumaga   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Nanumaga folk-tales concerning creation all state that in the beginning the heavens and earth were united, but there are varying accounts of how they were separated.
This is not always to their advantage, as was strikingly shown in recent times by their enthusiastic acceptance of an ill-conceived investment scheme, which brought heavy and embarrassing losses to the island.
As a result they committed nearly all the funds of the island to paying inflated prices for land which is likely never to be of any use to them because it is of very poor quality, isolated and without water or other essential services.

 Caves of Nanumaga
Off the northern shore of Nanumaga island in western Polynesia's Tuvalu island group last year, two scuba divers investigating a local legend of "a large house under the sea" found an underwater cave morethan 40 metres down the wall of a coral cliff.
Dark patches on the roof and walls and flened coral fragments on its floor suggest the use of fire by human occupants.
