Aneityum, also known as Anatom or Keamu, and also spelt Aneitum is the southernmost island of Vanuatu, in the province of Tafea.
==History== ===Indigenous population=== The population of the island is believed to have been between 9,000 and 20,000 prior to the arrival of the Europeans in 1793. However, introduced diseases and blackbirding played a major role in Aneityum's massive depopulation, which left the island with fewer than 200 inhabitants in 1930.
