Extractions: Government As a dependent territory of the United Kingdom, Pitcairn Island is administered by a Governor who is the British High Commissioner in New Zealand. The inhabitants of the island manage their internal affairs through an Island Council of 10 members: four elected (including the Island Magistrate who acts as chairman and head of the local executive) two chosen by the elected members, one appointed by the governor, two advisory members (one appointed by the governor, the other by the elected members) and one Island Secretary. Elections for the council are held every year in December but the Island Magistrate is elected for a three year term.

Story Index Presenter: James O'Brien Thursday, 18 July 2002 Pitcairn Island Flag Pitcairn Islands, located in the Southern Pacific, between Australia and South America, became famous when Bounty Mutineer, Fletcher Christian, established a colony there in 1790. Now the island has now become infamous due to allegations of child sexual abuse. The first inhabitants to settle the Islands were Polynesian, however, it was the Bounty Mutineers, who settled the island with their Tahitian companions, and who are the ancestors of the current inhabitants. In 1838, Pitcairn became the first Pacific island to become a British colony, and remains an overseas territory of the United Kingdom. During the Nineteenth Century, however, the Pitcairners were twice removed from the island, once to Tahiti, and once to Norfolk Island. Those who live on the island now are descended from the Norfolk Pitcairners who returned to the island.

At that time, a lively trade was carried on between Pitcairn, Henderson - which was inhabited as well - and Mangareva, in what is now the Gambier Archipelago of south-eastern French Polynesia. These earlier settlements left burial sites containing human skeletons, petroglyphs, earth ovens, stone adzes and other artefacts, although no one is sure where the original Pitcairners came from. Pitcairn is likely to have been important for its quarry where stone adzes were mined. Despite Pitcairn's diminutive size, its fertile volcanic soils were (and still are) able to support a permanent population. By 1606, when Spanish explorer de Quiros came looking for his own personal El Dorado and found Henderson, both it and presumably Pitcairn were deserted. Pitcairn's European discovery had to wait until 1767, when Philip Carteret sailed by on HMS

Pacific News Member of Solomon Islands History It is thought that the first inhabitants of the Solomon Islands arrived from the north-west about 30,000 years ago, but the first organised agricultural people didn't settle until about 4000 BC, bringing with them knowledge of sailing, crops and animal breeding. Between that time and about 1600 AD, westward migration by Polynesians and the arrival of the Lapita people from the east created a heady mix of cultural practices in the region. Finding the main islands already occupied by Melanesians, the newcomers settled on the smaller, isolated islands, eliminating any small populations that happened to be in the way. For the next four hundred years, these outlying areas became the focus of Tongan and Tokelauan aggression, resulting in a natural fear of strangers. By the 19th century, this fear produced the widespread habit (rarely practiced today) of attacking strangers on sight. Due largely to bad mapping, Europeans stayed away from (that is, couldn't find) the Solomons for the next century and a half. In 1767, British captain Philip Cartaret stumbled through the island group. He couldn't believe that he'd rediscovered the Solomons, but the people who followed - an assortment of British, French and American explorers, whalers and traders - certainly left their mark in the area. Large-scale traders cut short the Islands' 'Great Peace' with their shonky business practices (robbery, murder) and diseased bodies. The islanders quickly grew to hate the traders, and would often kill any white person they saw. Add firearms into this mix of headhunting, 'labour recruitment' (blackbirding) and distrust, and the Solomon Islands quickly gained the reputation for being the most inhospitable place in the Pacific. Even the unstoppable missionaries watched their step.

Ever since Darwin, naturalists have been obsessed with both the origin and maintenance of this diversity. Some of the most influential work on living coral reefs derives from studies on corals conducted at scales from years to decades. Yet, many species are represented by colonies that live for hundreds of years, so an understanding of the long-term ecological dynamics of coral reefs can only be complete by reference to the fossil record.
