_ end the Enewetak People (Dri Gnewstak). These two traditional groups are, however for all practicalpurposes one ‘roup dwe to inter-uarriage. They do however saintain the distinction. : Chief (iroij) Joanej is the head of the Enewetak Poople and Chief Lorenj& is the of the Enjebi group. Political powar has shifted to the elected magistrate ad the council, composed of family heads. The incumbent zagis-rate is Guith Gideon. The chiefs are meabsrs of the commeil and their power is effective, however it has waned considerably. The younger men, including the gong of the chiefs have a great deal to say these days. Decision making is not unilateral, nor, avparently was it ever. Eonsensus is obtained in council meetings, attended by almost everyones in the community when important issues are to be discussed, This is the method followdd thhoughout most Hicronesian canmaunities. For this reason it ia obviously vary important to deal with the council whan possible; to do go whenever planing which will effect the peo.le of thea coumunity is to ba done, : As a matter of expediency represantatives who may be available at the timo can and have been used. However it ia obvio.sly desirable to obtain comamity cone sensus if possible. ’ If the radioactivity on Enjebi should prevent permanent habitation at this time, and for a significant period of tize in the future the duality of settlenent may not be possible. The Enjebi Feople may choose to Live together on mevetak Island or on another island in the northern sector of the atoll. However, it is not certain that they would want to have two main settlaumts. They :ay decida to live in che settlement. is a matter of expediency the two groups Live together on Ujilang with a "boundary® set fghbough the middle of the island and the satellite islands divided equally. The cosmmmity buildings: church,school, dispensary, warehouses, etc. are located in the area on the dividing Line. The point is that they do Live together and may wish te continue this. However, they may vary well wish to return to the pattern which was possible on nuch Larger Bnewetak Atoll. The traditional Narshallass pattern ef habitatien andexploitation of the natural resources is to Live on a main (Large) island in the atoll, make copra, practice a low level (technologically) agriculture, and axploit the marine resources of sea, Lagoon and surrounding reefs, The school, dispmsary, church, council] houze, warahouse, stores and any other activities! buildings serving the needs of the commmity are located on the main island, or islands in the case of the Larger and more populous atolls. A semi-nivzratory form of exploitation of the natural resources is followed in that the other smaller islands, satellite islamds of the atoll are visited from tine to time. The holders of land rights on these ialands make copra (tha cash crop), gather breadfruit, pandanas , coconuts, arrowroot, and other vaegatabla foodg in season. They also expleit the marine resources, Clewing of brush and planting is alae done at this tine. Houses and water catchments usually of a fairly sinple nature are found an the more @canouically important of thase smaller islands.
