Abstract
The coral atoll Lamotrek lies at a latitude of 7° 30’ north and a longitude of 146° 20’ east. The neighbouring islands Elato (approximately 14 nautical miles west) and Satawal (approximately 40 nautical miles east) belong politically to Lamotrek which provides the High Chief for all three areas. My husband and I visited this group of Caroline Islands in 2006 and 2007 to carry out anthropological research on Lamotrek (see Map 2.1).
