It details the displacement of the Banaban population to Rabi in Fiji during British mining operations from 1900 to 1979, highlighting the cultural and linguistic ties between the Banabans and the Gilbertese. The narrative also addresses the environmental impact of mining and the ongoing connection of the Banaban people to their homeland, despite their diaspora in Fiji and beyond.
