Nanumea, Tuvalu

Displayed:   times.

Nanumea is the northwesternmost island in the country of Tuvalu. It is an atoll that surrounds a lagoon. Legends say that the first settlers on this atoll were two women named Pai and Vau, but a man named Tefolaha took over. Nanumeans celebrate a Christian holiday called Pati, which stands for the letters in the phrase that means "the day of Tefolaha and Jesus."
