Onotoa - Republic of Kiribati (917 words) |
 | Onotoa is an island in the southern Kiribati Group. |
| Onotoa was sighted the same year by Captain Chase of the American vessel Japan. |
| At ONOTOA I found it was the custom when a child died for the foster father to sleep nightly for a certain period, in the grave. |
| Mrs. O'Brian (2915 words) |
| Otiria says she was born on the island of Onotoa in the southern Gilberts. |
| Given that Otiria was from Onotoa, I wondered if she might remember the name of the headman on Nikumaroro who had been a prominent figure on Onotoa before becoming Native Magistrate on Nikumaroro. |
| Her assertion that the one who died was from Onotoa could stem from the fact that the original discovery of the skull seems to have been made by Teng Koata, the Native Magistrate from Onotoa who left the island when Gallagher arrived. |
