Shamouti Island appears to be a cultural center for the Orange Archipelago because of its many island holidays. One such holiday is the annual Legend Festival. For centuries, the locals have performed a ceremony honoring the prophesized [[Chosen One]] that would tame the [[Legendary birds|birds of legend]] should they release their might on the world. The locals dress up in traditional attire, apparently for historical purposes, but some in the younger generation attribute the preservation effort to the resulting tourism.

*In the Japanese version of the second movie, a tour guide mentions that Shamouti is located in the "{{tt|オレンジ諸島の海の果てよ|outskirts of the Orange Islands|}}," but in the American version she says it is in the center of the archipelago.
