	History of Tahiti and her islands by The Tahiti Traveler
		Though it is in the Marquesas islands that were discovered the oldest vestiges of this civilization dated 150 BC by R.C. Marquesas islands are still considered today as the starting point for eastern Polynesia settlements.
		Settlements of Polynesian islands are deeply related to the art of navigation and to the sea, sky and stars knowledge.
		As the equatorial sky features large trails of stars, a sailor could link the island he whished to reach with a constellation.

	Chagos Islanders v. Attorney General
		By the early 1960s, the islands' population was in decline, as low wages, monotonous work, the lack of facilities and the great distance to Mauritius and the Seychelles discouraged recruitment or the retention of labour.
		Islands populated by contract workers or with an insignificant population which could be transferred or easily resettled were obviously attractive in those respects.
		The uncertain future of the islands of Peros Banhos and the Salomon Islands, as possible defence facilities, inhibited investment in them; the question of who would provide investment in plantations in Agalega was long discussed and remained unresolved for years.

	Chagos Archipelago Summary
		The entire land area of the islands is a mere 60 km², with the largest island, Diego García, having an area of 27.20 km².
		The islands were discovered by Vasco da Gama in the early sixteenth century, then claimed in the eighteenth century by France as a possession of Mauritius.
		The most high profile aspect of Chagos Island politics relates to the continued future of the former inhabitants of the islands who were evicted in the 1960s and 1970s as part of an arrangement between the United Kingdom and the United States to establish a defence establishment on the island of Diego Garcia.

		The beach at Salomon Bay is typical of the north shore National Park Beaches except for two things, its access and its reputation.

		Salomon Bay was named after the brothers Jannis and Isack Salomon, The Salomon brothers, were Dutchmen from a prestigious family, who came to the Danish West Indies from Statia in the early 18th century.

	For the price of a missile
		The Chagos islands, of which Diego Garcia is the largest island, is one of Britain's last remaining overseas colonies, but its inhabitants were unceremoniously told to leave in the late 1960s and e arly 1970s so that a United States military base could be built on Diego Garcia.
		The islands were then part of the British colony of Mauritius, but when Mauritius was given independence in 1965, Britain retained possession of the Chagos and created a new colony, called the British Indian Ocean Territory.
		The U.S. wanted to lease the islands in uninhabited state and so the residents of the islands were unceremoniously put on boats by the British and shipped to Mauritius, where they have been living in poverty for the last three decades.
