| AILUK Atoll: Ailuk-em-Jek-Na-Lemen !!! Ijo In Ion Ailuk In Iban In Len Kea In Len Juri Bwe Lukkun Ijo In Kar Baj Wot Ijo In!!!! Ailuk remains one of the most unexplored islands of the Ratak Chain, one of the two chains that make up what is now known as the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
Like most small communities of the Marshall Islands, Ailuk’s economy is primarily subsistence based with very little resemblance of the modern day metropolitan centers. Survival (prosperity being its modern day synonym) for the people depends more on one’s ability to exploit the land and sea that surrounds him/her.
The ocean Ailuk shares with the rest of the pacific island countries continues to be central to the lives of the people. It epitomizes the very essence of life for them.
