No one lives on Beautemp Beaupre, but Zacharie's ancestors lived here before everyone was moved to Ouvea Island. This post was a corner of his grandfather's house. He presented gifts of tobacco, matches and cloth to the spirits of his ancestors with a little speech. Then he felt it was okay to get a coconut crab and fish from this island.
