National anthem None Internet TLD .pn The Pitcairn Islands are a group of five islands, of which only Pitcairn Island is inhabited, in the southern Pacific Ocean , the only remaining British colony in the Pacific. The islands are best known for being the home of the descendants of the Bounty mutineers and the Tahitians who accompanied them, an event retold in numerous books and films. This history is still apparent in the surnames of many of the islanders. With only 47 inhabitants (from 9 families), Pitcairn is also famed for being the least populated country in the world (although it is not a sovereign nation Contents 1 History and current events

Site Map Pitcairn Island, the smallest British protectorate in the world, is governed from the United Kingdom by an appointed Governor whose offices are in Wellington, New Zealand. A Commissioner for the island who handles most on-going, practical matters for Pitcairn is located in Auckland, New Zealand. According to the government-published Guide to Pitcairn Pitcairn Island is held by the United Kingdom to have come under the jurisdiction of the British High Commission for the Western Pacific in 1898, and in 1952 the Pitcairn Island Order in Council transferred the responsibility for administration to the person of the Governor of Fiji, following separation of the offices of Governor and High Commissioner. When Fiji gained independence in 1971 the administration was transferred to Auckland within the jurisdiction of the British High Commissioner to New Zealand who conjointly holds office as Governor of Pitcairn. -Herbert Ford, Pitcairn Islands Study Center British High Commissioners for the Western Pacific

Site Map ANGWIN (Napa County), CALIF. - The people of Pitcairn Island in the South Pacific Ocean, descendants of sailors who mutinied in the late 18th century on H.M.S. Bounty, are about as close to a modern-day mutiny against their current British overlords as were their forebears against the infamous Captain William Bligh. According to first-hand reports reaching the Pitcairn Islands Study Center on the campus of Pacific Union College here, an aura of tension, distrust and suspicion hangs heavily over the little one-by-two-mile island against their British-appointed governor who heavy-handedly legislates their lives from thousands of miles away in Wellington, New Zealand. Fewer than 50 in number, a majority of the Pitcairners say Governor Richard Fell has turned their island into a virtual police state in connection with sex abuse charges made against some Pitcairn men, while at the same time they say he ignores basic human rights and the worsening infastructure needs of their island. Hearings relating to the charges are currently being held in Auckland, New Zealand, hearings which are not only challenging the jurisdiction of the court which may try the Pitcairn men, but also the authority by which Governor Fell has rewritten the laws of Pitcairn Island and appointed the judges, magistrates, prosecutors and defenders. New ordinances regulating living on Pitcairn have been issued in unprecedented numbers by Fell, each carrying the weight of law.

Some of the references below were collected by Lynn Salmon I contacted Paul J. Lareau who runs the Pitcairn Island Website and asked him for information about Henderson Island. This is what he replied: I'm sure you're aware of the 1983 attempt by Arthur M. "Smiley" Ratliff to purchase or lease Henderson, put an airstrip on it, and turn it into a habitable place, making Pitcairn itself more viable. The idea was ultimately scotched by International ecological groups who felt it would destroy too many unique species of animals and plants. That is one of the stories mentioned in Spencer Murray's "Pitcairn Island: the First 200 Years". Spence also wrote another small book, "The Five Neighbors of Pitcairn Island", where he takes a look at the history, topography, and fauna/flora of each of the Islands in the group. If you don't have that book, you should probably get it. You can write for a catalog from: Bounty Sagas

Extractions: Email: [also Letters Home 1929-46 see also Series G and H , and Part III It has been said that prior to World War II research in the Pacific Islands was in the hands of at the most 50 people. If so the value of this series lies not least in the fact that it includes correspondence with probably all of them, in addition to many Governors, Administrators and Litterateurs such as Michener and James Norman Hall. As a young man, later to be dubbed 'the island monomaniac', I idolized many of these early giants; and still do. On a more personal note the series should enable anyone in years to come to write a book of the 'Life and Times' genre, since the correspondence covers in detail the life of an administrator in the islands during the last decades of the now defunct colonial empire and, when that was breaking up, with service in charge of the social development of the Pacific Islands for the regional organization which paved the way for the full independence of the former dependent territories. Ana finally with the founding and development of a new branch of historical studies covering the whole of Oceania for the nascent islander elite now beginning to seek symbols for their newly emancipated societies, based on an evaluation of their place in historical evolution.
Journeys Through Pacific History of Pacific islands culture contacts the Christian missionaries. A.pitcairn Island. Papers relating to administrative visits by HE Maude, http://www.library.adelaide.edu.au/ual/publ/Journeys_Pacific.html
Extractions: of The University of Adelaide Harry Maude, like many of his and earlier generations, had read and responded to the timeless appeal of the novels of Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, Charles Stoddard, Jack London and Louis Becke, and been fired with a passion to experience the romance of the South Seas: Brought up on a diet of The Swiss Family Robinson and Ballantyne's Coral island, and later on Stevenson, Melville and Stoddard, with Stewart's Handbook of the Pacific Islands under my pillow, I had only one idea in life and that was to go out to the South Seas and stay there. He was fortunate therefore that in 1928, the year he commenced reading for an Honours degree in Anthropology at Cambridge University, students were for the first time permitted to specialise in India and the South Pacific as an alternative to Africa. In that year he read as much as he could on Pacific anthropology, laying the foundations of his library with early purchases by authors like Rivers, Haddon and Malinowski. These did not dispel his own vision of the South Seas and on graduation Maude nominated the remote Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony - "where Melville found his Mardi and Stackpole his exemplar of the blue lagoon" - as his sole choice in his application for a cadetship in the Colonial Administrative Service.
