Who owns the island?
Pitcairn Islands is the only remaining British possession in the Pacific. It’s “islands” because the colony includes uninhabited Oeno, Henderson, and Ducie, as well as Pitcairn. In practice, the islands are owned by the Pitcairners on Pitcairn, who govern themselves by means of a 10-member Island Council. The governor is the British High Commissioner in Wellington, New Zealand, while the actual administration is controlled by the Commissioner for Pitcairn Islands in Auckland.
