"This volume contains a collection of ethnographic material from the islands of Kiribati, which was obtained during a research expedition in 1963 and 1964 to the atolls of Nonouti, Tabiteuea and Onotoa. The objects were collected at the places where they were made, as examples of the traditional culture of the I-Kiribati"--Foreword.
