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.

2018, at a ceremony
commemorating the end of the
first World War.
