Population
There are three villages in Wagina: Kukutin, Arariki and Nikumaroro. The inhabitants of this island are ethnic I-Kiribati (Micronesians), who were relocated to the British Solomon Islands Protectorate from the islands of Orona (Hull Island) and Nikumaroro (Gardener Island) in the 1950s. This was subsequent to them having been settled on these previously uninhabited islands in the Phoenix Islands from various islands in the Gilberts archipelago in the 1930s. The original resettlement in the 1930s was on alleged grounds of overcrowding, particularly on drought-prone islands in the southern Gilberts. The second resettlement was on alleged grounds of the islands in the Phoenix group having harsh living conditions and also being prone to drought, although remoteness and costs falling on the colonial administration also played parts.[page needed][page needed][page needed]

Wagina (ou souvent en anglais colonial Vaghena Island) est une île et une petite communauté des Salomon, avec 2000 habitants[1], la plupart habitant sur les rivages de la baie de Kenli qui dispose d'un quai de débarquement. Il y a trois villages à Wagina : Kukutin, Arariki et Nikumaroro. Les habitants sont tous des Gilbertins (originaires des îles Gilbert) qui ont été installés ici par les autorités britanniques du temps de la colonie des îles Salomon, après avoir été évacués des îles Phœnix à la fin des années cinquante (1955-1958), notamment ceux de Hull et de Gardner. Cette communauté fait partie de la province de Choiseul.
