Only little remains preserved from the old customs. The traditions of arts and crafts are lost nearly completely. The inhabitants of Nauru wear the usual tropical clothes: short trousers and light shirts. Fishing still follows a traditional method: the island anglers wait in small light boats for fish to arrive. The custom of fishing by trained frigatebirds has been preserved. Radio Nauru has collected numerous recordings of local people's music. But even old Nauruans can rarely understand the contents of these songs. Whilst the traditional culture rapidly gives way to the contemporary, as elsewhere in Micronesia, music and dance still rank among the most popular art forms. Rhythmic singing and traditional

   Extractions: The Republic of Nauru (pronounced nah-OO-roo), formerly known as Pleasant Island, is an island republic in the South Pacific Ocean . It is the world's smallest independent republic both in terms of population and land area. Much of its past prosperity derived from the large amount of phosphate deposits on the island, believed by one school of thought to be of guano origin but by another to be of marine origin. The phosphate is used as a fertilizer around the world and the majority of it has been exported to Australia . With the exhaustion of the phosphate supplies, Nauru faces an uncertain future. In the 1990's, it tried to gain new sources of income by introducing itself as a tax haven , but this story came to an end in July 2004. Nauru currently houses a detention centre , which holds and processes asylum seekers as part of Australia's Pacific Solution Republik Naoero

   Extractions: SITE MAP ... People,Culture,Festivals > Culture Nauru culture consists of the traditions and custom of the native people of the island. The descendants of seafaring travelers from Polynesia and Micronesia, the native ethnic groups of Nauru have a distinctive culture of their own. The influence of the world has an adverse effect on the culture of Nauru. The ethnic groups of Nauru have original art, craft, dance and music forms that form a part of Nauru Culture. The small island was a huge reserve of phosphate and this lured the countries like Britain, Germany, Australia to occupy the island. The invaders contributed their influence over the people and culture of Nauru. The ancient beliefs and customs are still prevalent among the native people of Nauru. One of the beliefs is regarding their origin from a female deity as well as the existence of a land, Buitani. The imaginary land of spirits is a part of Nauru culture. The ethnic groups have diminished in number but retain their customs and rituals. The language spoken by majority of the people is Nauruan, which is also the official language of the island. English is also another commonly used language among the people. The use of English gained importance mainly as a language of communication between the natives and the Europeans. Along with the ethnic groups, Nauru population also consists of Chinese and Europeans.
