The Forgotten Marshallese of Wotho, Rongelap, and Utirik Atolls
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
Two of the Laboratory’s major roads are named for Bikini and Enewetak Atolls, where sixty-six nuclear tests were conducted between 1946 and 1958. These signs honor the sacrifices made by the natives of both atolls, who left their ancestral islands to make room for Operations Crossroads, Sandstone, Greenhouse, Ivy, Castle, Redwing, and Hardtack I. Lost in the mist of time, however, are similar sacrifices made by the islanders of Wotho, Rongelap, and Utirik Atolls.
