		In the same letter Tau recalled she was 10 years old, living on Rakahanga when the Royal Navy and New Zealand Navy called at Rakahanga to advise of the H bomb test at Christmas Island.

	My trip to the outter Islands - Part TWO!
		The trip was the absolute highlight of my life and I was shocked beyond belief when told the young children were crying upon seeing me because they had never seen a ‘white man’ before.
		Now I must mention here that one of the five souls traveling from Manihiki to Rakahanga was a very old man known as and called “The Prime Minister” [of Rakahanga] This old man actually referred this very heated debate.
		I would have to describe the people of Rakahanga as the real Polynesians.
