Countries For Kids

Come join Elijah, Sawyer and special guest Madaline as they talk about the amazing island nation 99% of people have never heard of, Kiribati! It's a beautiful island chain of coral atolls with spectacular sea life and extremely delicate land life that is disappearing because of global warming caused by people around the world who don't even know they exist. They have a tragic colonial past that includes atomic testing on their islands because the life of the people there didn't matter to the British and American governments at the time. But their isolation has allowed them to maintain their beautiful traditions including amazing music and dances of chanting and body percussion.
