Children of Chuuk Lagoon examines the everyday lives of school-aged children in the Chuuk Lagoon island of Romonum in the Federated States of Micronesia. The book documents the natural histories, and home and school experiences of 12 case-study children ranging in age from 6 to 14. Observations presented in the book include the daily activities Romonum children engage in and the types of teaching and learning patterns represented in their home and school settings. The book also assesses the language experiences of the case-study children and the goals of Romonum parents, educators, and community leaders for their children’s futures. Adults also share their impressions on the outcomes of the U.S. Compact of Free Association in their community.
