Meang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meang, which literally mean West is another name given to Telikiai due to its location in the Nui island group. Meang is an islet of Nui atoll in the Pacific Ocean state of Tuvalu.[1][2] The islet features in the legends of the Tekaunibiti family, whose members went to catch birds on the islet and found three teanti-ma-aomata (half-spirit and half-human creatures) and captured two.[3]
