History

In early 1920 the coconut estates on Wakaya and Naitaba suffered a heavy loss due to a storm.[7] In 1965 the actor Raymond Burr and his partner purchased 1,625 hectares (4,015 acres) on the island,[8] where they raised copra and cattle.[9] This land was sold in 1983 to Johannine Daist Communion for the use of Adi Da,[10] with a purchase price of $2.1 million.[11] It was reported that Adi Da died of cardiac arrest on November 27, 2008, at his home on the island, while working on his art.[12][13]
