The largest group of Marshallese living outside the islands can be found at the foothills of the Ozarks in Springdale, Arkansas. Today roughly 6,000-8,000 Marshallese live in Springdale, and about fifty percent of Tyson Chicken's floor staff are from the Marshall Islands. The Republic of the Marshall Islands has a U.S. consulate in Springdale, Arkansas.
An additional consulate is in Honolulu, HI. The person who translated this book, Jacob Gardner, lives in Laie, HI. If you would like to contact Jacob for additional information on his native language: jacbgardner@gmail.com
It is not uncommon to find words in your language or the language the book is being translated into that do not translate. This was the case in this book. Where there is no translation it is noted throughout the book.
Thank you for your purchase and I hope you find the book enjoyable.
