Pitcairn Islands
Culture
While the Polynesians who arrived presumably brought the rich culture of Tahiti with them, much of that has died out on Pitcairn. Weaving palm baskets is one skill that has been maintained, and many of the Pitcairn men carve intricate animals and replicas of the Bounty out of local timber. The language is English, but among themselves Pitcairners speak a slightly slurred version full of local idiom, words and place names that make it almost impossible for outsiders to understand. It includes many Tahitian and 18th-century English seafaring words: if they drink too much, all hands (ie everyone) are likely to capsize (fall over), for example. Pitcairners embraced the Seventh Day Adventist Church in the late 19th century, which was responsible for the children's education until 1948, when a teacher was finally sent from New Zealand. Alcohol is banned (that ban seems to be slipping) and the islanders are not allowed to eat pork or fish without scales, which means the plentiful crayfish in island waters are used only as bait. Land is held under a system devised by Fletcher Christian and is based on family ownership. Pitcairners are virtually self sufficient in food, although they do a lively trade with passing ships. They raise goats and poultry for their own consumption, and goats also roam wild on the island. They catch fish around the coast, but there are no commercial fisheries.

Introduction
An unholy alliance of renegades from British justice and South Sea islanders from nearby Tahiti settled Pitcairn in 1790, but their ideal of founding a new community quickly soured as the men started wiping out each other's gene pools. Their descendants clung on, however, jumped into the Bible, procreated and went forth. Norfolk Island and New Zealand now have substantial numbers of Bounty descendants, and a small number still till the soil and go to Saturday church on Pitcairn. The island is not on any international air routes and getting there is strictly for the determined, but that can be precisely the attraction in a world increasingly at our fingertips. While facilities are limited on Pitcairn, you can drop in on your own yacht or from a passing cruiser and spend a day walking, talking to locals, swimming in St Paul's Pool, eating and checking out the points of interest, like ancient Polynesian rock carvings, the Bounty Bible, John Catch a Cow and Bitey Bitey (the local language is, as you may gather, a little quirky).
