I want to take you on a journey to a place where until recently there was no introduction. Today this corner, you can visit on a day-trip and in addition a special invitation. What is this place? talking about Forbidden Island - Ni'ihau located in the Pacific Ocean in the archipelago of Hawaii. This volcanic island is the smallest of the inhabited islands of the archipelago. Since 147 years Ni'ihau is privately owned. In 1864 was purchased by Elizabeth Sinclair from the King Kamehameha V of Hawaii for only 10 thousand. of dollars. 50 years later the grandson of Sinclair forbade any entrance to the island. Even the family could not visit their relatives living on Ni'ihau. Nothing like this has not yet seen!
Today, the value of Forbidden Island is estimated at 100 thousand. of dollars. The owners are two brothers, descendants of Sinclair - Bruce and Keith Robinson. Admission ban lifted only in 1987, but by coming here you have to have a special invitation and a nice sum of money. On the island there are about 230 people, and what interesting people function without sanitation, running water, stores, mail or electricity - draw electricity from solar panels. Ni'ihau is really self-sufficient territory.
ife goes slowly here and in harmony with nature. Local people living on fishing, hunting or farming. There's a predetermined structure of life - in the center's family or Ohana. Residents do not consume alcohol, do not smoke cigarettes every Sunday and participate in prayers.
With such a long separation from the rest of the world on the island survived the unique traditions. Still widely used here Hawaiian language, and the local products of jewelry from shells Momi, Laiki or kahelelani are known and highly respected throughout the world.
On this island may be something what world should have not seen...something not from this planet..
who knows..
it is very original and exciting that still exist virgin nation....but why they decided to live far from the civilization?
or they were forced?
