Then you’d be living in Pitcairn Island, one of my favorite geographical oddities.
This island, population 46, currently has seven of its men undergoing a total of nearly 100 counts of sexual abuse, including the mayor. These charges stem from 1999, when a British policewoman visiting the island was told of abuses by a local Pitcairn girl.
The residents of the island are descendants of the mutineers from the HMS Bounty and the local Polynesian population in 1790.
I love this guy who lives in Little Canada, Minn., who has an updated page on Pitcairn Island, including all the names and some photos of all the Pitcairners. Even the Government of Pitcairn has a link to his page.
I’ve just ordered a used copy of Serpent in Paradise, written by a British journalist and travel writer that spent a year living among the Pitcairners in the 1990s.
