Let me tell you a story Little One, a story about the creation of your islands told to me by my Jimma/Grandpa ^_^!

Now the supreme ancient God of the Marshallese his name was Lowa after creating the Marshall Islands and its people he was so pleased with his creation that he said "Ia Kwe" thus the Marshallese greeting came to be Iakwe or Yokwe... Iakwe means its so good to see you it is like seeing a ia/rainbow a beautiful sight... how can something so beautiful be under the rising sea?
