From Josh Benton, who maintains the blog crabwalk: a series of articles written by him in 1999 about the little South Pacific Island known as Pitcairn. About 50 people live there today, most of whom are descendants of the mutineers from the Bounty and the Tahitian women they kidnapped. Yep, the people from Mutiny on the Bounty. I found the articles fascinating...the population is dwindling, because the kids go off to New Zealand for school at age 15, and most don't come back. There are inter-island squabbles about money and business, and now, there have been accusations that many of the male are sexually abusing the girls on the island. It's a very western culture--most people have TVs, VCRs, etc. There is no airstrip and no harbor, so it's pretty tough to get there.
