Poetry, song, dance & prayer today in local language Norfuk to farewell the Norfolk Island lighters that were central to island life & culture for 2 centuries. Lovely community event with a Pitcairn presence.

Today in Labor History January 12, 1915: The U.S. House of Representatives rejected a proposal to require states to give women the right to vote. The first place in the world where women got the right to vote was New Jersey, in 1776. However, in 1807 this was repealed and it reverted back to white men, only. The first place to continuously give suffrage to women was Pitcairn Islands, in 1838. These were the descendants of Tahitians and Christian Fletcher and other mutineers from the HMS Bounty. The first sovereign nation to give women the right to vote was Norway, in 1913. The U.S. finally granted women the right to vote in 1920. Women won suffrage in Canada in 1917, Britain and Germany in 1918, Austria and Holland in 1919. Women could not vote in France until 1944, or in Greece until 1952, or in Switzerland until 1971, or in Saudi Arabia until 2015.

23 janvier 1790 : Fletcher Christian et les mutinés du abordent l'île . Installés définitivement sur ce territoire ils vont s'y entretuer au point que John Adams restera seul survivant.
