Abstract: This chapter focuses upon the people of Enewetak. It examines
their history, the structure of their culture and society, the ways
they have coped with the colonial powers that governed the islands, and
their response to their resettlement on Ujilang Atoll. Some mention is

necessarily made of the Bikini community because the histories of the
two peoples are intertwined.

Between 1946 and 1958,

(DOE contractor)

43 nuclear devices were tested at

Eniwetok. This testing program provided an opportunity for research
which eventually led to the establishment of the Eniwetok Marine
Biological Laboratory in 1954. From 1954 to 1974 research was broadly
aimed at increasing their knowledge of this diverse coral atoll
ecosystem. The second period of research began with the reorganization
of the laboratory in 1974. The major projects of the 1975-1980 period
were (1) a study of the circulation of the Eniwetok Lagoon, (2)

research on the dynamics of ground water resources of Eniwetok Atoll,
and (3) studies of diguatera fish poisoning at Eniwetok.
