The Tale of Anan

Who, what, where, when, and why?
Anan wished to impress his love and so set out on an impressive journey to get her the perfect gift. He ends up at the top of Mount Foom where he plucks a star from the sky and carries it with him back to TIki VIllage. Tragically, he never manages to give her his star. On the beach he saves a young boy from drowning, but in so doing drops the star into the ocean. THe ocean god is determined to keep the star, so when Anan tries to retrieve it, he is drowned for his arrogance in defying the god. Anan lives just long enough to tell his story to the boy as he dies on the beach, and the boy relates it later to Anan's love. In tribute to Anan, the gods decide to rain stars down upon Tiki Island in a giant meteor shower ever winter called Anantiki. This occurs near the end of December, surprisingly close to Christmas.

Anantiki
Tikians celebrate Anantiki with a large bonfire and party. You may participate in their celebrations, and even earn a coconut if you do it right! Read more about it at the Anantiki page!
