Trade and Industry in Vanuatu
The island of Tanna is home to the Yaohnanen tribe, and to the Prince Philip Movement. Villagers of the tribe believe an ancient story about the pale-skinned son of a mountain spirit venturing across the seas to look for a powerful woman to marry. Prince Philip, having visited the island with his new wife Queen Elizabeth, fitted the description exactly and is therefore revered and even held as a god around the isle of Tanna.
