What “Sleep Now, Little Navigator” Means
The Federated States of Micronesia is home to Nan Madol, a mysterious ancient city built on artificial islets of stacked basalt, and to Yap’s famous stone money, giant carved discs used as currency for centuries. This original lullaby borrows both of these singular Micronesian wonders.
