This article is an anthropological study of the Rongelap people in the Marshall Islands, and their recovery in the aftermath of the radiological contamination from nuclear bomb testing. Pursuing registration as a world heritage site and the reproduction of traditional local food are important ways in which the community has worked to reconstruct their lives based on a temporary island. It is important for them to reproduce dried pandanus in a temporary island, in particular, as it is a traditional and principal product of Rongelap people. They have been trying to overcome the tragedy set in motion through the military nuclear-weapons testing and have make renewal life reproducing of tradition.
