BBC Home: Tribe, haettu 9.9.2009"Political and geographical circumstances have isolated Anuta and its Polynesian population throughout history. [...] The resident population on Anuta is just under two hundred and fifty."
BBC Home: Tribe, haettu 9.9.2009"It was a cargo ship that first brought Christianity to Anuta in 1916. Anglican missionaries arrived on the island, and to this day the church still operates and plays a vital part in Anutan life with church services twice a day."
BBC Home: Tribe, haettu 9.9.2009"The volcanic soils grow the main staples in the Anutan diet: manioc, taro and bananas. [...] Fruit trees such as banana and papaya are scattered all over the island and add variety to the Anutan diet, as does sugar cane which is popular with the children. The slopes of the hills are also home to breadfruit trees, a variety of palms as well as turmeric, which the Anutans use to make their ritually important dye. [...] The land provides Anuta with a great deal of its food, but the island’s most productive source of protein is the sea. [...] At the moment the island is stable and balanced both socially and environmentally. [...] If this balance of life is upset the future for the island will become less certain. Epidemics, natural disasters, climate change and the encroachment of the modern world are all potential threats. Due to its remote geographical location, Anuta's environment, traditions and culture have been well preserved."
