Description
#20… NATIVE CHILDREN play outside building where native leaders and local Trust Territory representatives confer. The children, here, on the Pacific island of Ebeye, will soon be repatriated to their home island of Rongelap. The island was evacuated when showered with radioactive fallout from the Bikini H-bomb blast in March, 1954. Atomic scientists have since declared the island fit for habitation.
