Item Chronicling Female Agency with Satellite Images and Photographs from Google Earth(2023) Albert, Donald PatrickAbstract. Teehuteatuaonoa, aka Jenny, was one of twelve Polynesian women accompanying HMAV Bounty mutineers to Pitcairn Island on January 15, 1790. Her accounts increased our knowledge of Bounty’s sailing track post-mutiny and island life during her nearly three decades (1790-1817) on Pitcairn Island (Albert 2021a). Jenny is the most traveled of Bounty’s women, and first to return to Tahiti after almost 30 years. Jenny’s journey is chronicled with satellite images and photographs from Google Earth. Her journey encompassed 15 links for a total of 24,090 km or 60% of the Earth’s circumference. The longest link was 7,400 km on the American Sultan from Coquimbo, Chile, to The Marquesas. Jenny’s life provides an example of strong female agency during a male-dominated era (late 1700s – early 1800s) when women’s voices were socially and institutionally repressed (Albert, 2021b).Item John Buffett's Diary Entries While Visiting Pitcairn(2024-04) Albert, Donald PatrickJohn Buffett was the first immigrant to settle among the descendants of HMAV Bounty mutineers and their Polynesian wives on Pitcairn Island in 1823. Originally from England (b. July 16, 1797, d. May 5, 1891), he became the island’s schoolmaster and diarist of the Pitcairn Island Register (Lucas 1929).Item "John Buffett’s Diary Entries While “Visiting” Pitcairn 1868 to 1872"; Abstract(The 2024 IBII International Conferences Program, 2024-03-28) Albert, Donald PatrickDescription of a session presented by Donald Albert at the 2024 International Conference on Social Science, Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies.Item Teehuteatuaonoa aka ‘Jenny’, the most traveled woman on the Bounty: Chronicling female agency and island movements with Google Earth(Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island (Island Studies Journal), 2021) Albert, Donald PatrickTeehuteatuaonoa (or ‘Jenny’ by her English nickname) was one of 12 Polynesian women reaching Pitcairn Island with the HMS Bounty mutineers in 1790. She was the most traveled of these women and the first to return to Tahiti after 29 years away. Her journey is chronicled with Google Earth using a screenshot and caption for each waypoint. The journey included 15 links totaling 24,090 km or 60% of the Earth’s circumference. Her longest link was 7,400 km aboard the Sultan, an American ship from Boston, which brought her from Coquimbo, Chile, to The Marquesas. Jenny’s life provides an excellent example of female agency during a period controlled and reported on by men. Her life epitomized Nicholas Thomas’ understanding that islander-empire contact during the 18th and 19th Centuries involved both survival and suffering, invention and exploitation.
