A couple of decades ago, a friend told Eric about Pitcairn Island honey. "The finest in the world." That led to a deep dive into the history of a tiny, breathtakingly isolated place and their people. That led to the conjoined history of the people of Norfolk Island. Turns out that Norfolk is fighting a very real fight to retain their self determination.
