Tami Islands
The Tami Islands are a small island group located 13 km SSE of Finschhafen in the Huon Gulf (see also Solomon Sea). It is part of today's Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea.
Its people were known throughout the Solomon and South Sea islands for their distinctive wooden bowls, their religious figure carvings, and their ceremonial masks. During World War II, the islands were briefly occupied by the Japanese; Tami Islands were secured after the landings and Nassau Bay, Lae and Nadzab.
==Geography==
The Tami Islands include four atolls, two of which are very small, and one so small it is not much larger than a strip of sand. On the two largest islands there are two villages that face each other across a volcanic cove.〔Tami Islands. (Tami )〕 The islands form a circle around a lagoon, which at its center is deep.〔John Gaitha Browning and Oleta Stewart Toliver, ''An artist at war: the journal of John Gaitha Browning,'' Texas, University of Texas, 1994. p. 147. ISBN 978-0-929398-76-1〕 The cove attracts snorkelers and divers who explore the reefs, including day-trippers from nearby Lae, on the main island of Papua New Guinea.〔Nancy Sullivan, ( ''Day Trip to Tami,'' ) Consultancy Services for Anthropology, 1999-2009, Madang, PNG.〕 The reefs contain Spanish Dancer jellyfish, Blue See Stars and varieties of colorful Pelagic fish, both predators and prey.〔Sullivan.〕 At its widest, the largest island is not more than about across.〔Browning, 172.〕
