• ISLE OF PINES - A page of the island’s history turns

  Just six months ago Isle of Pines celebrated with great pomp 40 years reign of its High Chief;  now the island is in mourning for the same important man.

Hilarion Vendegou, aged 78, passed away on January 11th.

Not only was he the customary chief, but he was also the island’s elected Mayor and was still exercising both posts. His funeral, attended by numerous officials, custom leaders, islanders and visitors, was held in Vao village on Thursday January 16th.

The official mourning will last a year.
