Pacific News Member of Micronesia (Palau) Culture The people of Belau, as the islanders call their homeland, may appear to be among the most Westernized of all Micronesians in their casual American togs and baseball caps. However, they still frown upon skimpy beach attire away from the water, and most homes and many public buildings require that you leave your shoes near the door. Furthermore, many traditional rites have been retained over the years, such as those for a first-born child, and village chiefs still command an important role in the social hierarchy. Most Palauans are Christian, with the Catholic and Protestant churches well established and Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh-Day Adventists and Bahais gaining in membership. Modekngei is a revived form of the indigenous religion, which also shows up in traditions such as leaving a light on to ward off spooks. Staples of the traditional Palauan diet include coconut milk and meat (copra), cassava (tapioca), sweet potatoes and all sorts of fish and seafood. Japanese and American mealtime influences are common. Although not as prevalent as it is on Yap, many Palauans chew betel nut, which when mixed with lime powder produces copious amounts of bright red spit. Old-time chewers are noted by their red teeth, newcomers by the stains on their chins and shirts.

    Extractions: Learn More About Palau The WWII touched Palau and its people in ways we can only imagine now, a half-century later. At one point during the Japanese occupation, almost all native Palauans living in the capital city of Koror were relocated to a remote area toward the north end of Babeldaob. To avoid being interned in the North, some of these families chose to escape to the rock islands south of Koror and wait out the war, living in caves and subsisting on what they could glean from the sea. Although many survived to eventually return to their homes, many others did not. The following links point to a variety of resources that will introduce you to The Republic of Palau as it is today.
