Question
This island was legendarily settled by a race of dwarfs who exhumed dead bodies and wrapped them in fresh cloth as part of the famadihana ceremony. According to a 1726 book by Charles Johnson, former slaves joined the pirate James Mission on this island to found the utopian community of Libertalia. This island’s epic poem Ibonia was transmitted via a language spoken by the Sakalava people that is the westernmost of the (*) Austronesian language family. Exclusive mining rights on this island were granted to Joseph-François Lambert (“zhoh-SEFF fran-SWAH lahm-BERR”) by Radama II, the son of Queen Ranavalona. In the 1870s, France conquered this island’s Merina Kingdom and its Malagasy people. For 10 points, name this large island country off the coast of East Africa. ■END■
