73239English-language manuscript document rendered in brown gall ink on a light blue sheet 15 1/8" x 12 5/8" with a period embossed stamp along the bottom edge. Folded variously in sixths or eighths. Minor oxidation with a few ink smudges; otherwise very good.<br/><br/>An unrecorded and historically important last will and testament of the Nahnken of Pohnpei to his son Henry Nanpei in 1863 granting him lands and islands in what is now the Federated States of Micronesia FSM.<br/><br/>This document represents an unprecedented act which introduced the people of Pohnpei to a Western system of private land ownership forever altering their traditions according to David Hanlon Professor Emeritus of Pacific Islands Micronesia Ethnographic History and author of the book Upon a Stone Altar: A History of the Island of Pohnpei to 1890 University of Hawai'i Press 1988. "Deeds treaties contracts and wills are all Western legal conventions that caused a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding in the early and colonial periods of the islands' histories. Colonial governments imposed them for purposes of control administration and resources exploitation. As in the document in question expatriates and certain indigenous groups could employ these foreign conventions to gain wealth power and advantage over rivals."<br/><br/>About 1836 an English whaler named James Headley was marooned on Pohnpei and later married a Pohnpeian woman. They had a daughter Meri-Ann who married the Nanhken here shown as 'Nannakin' of Kiti the local King. In 1860 from their union came a son Henry. The Nanhken wanted his son to retain his royal influence by inheriting his lands. He aligned his interests with Headley who sought to improve the status of his daughter and grandson and together they drew up this Last Will and Testament in 1863.<br/><br/>Hanlon says this was a radical break with tradition in terms of the traditional land tenure system on the island as the son of a Nahnken could not succeed to his father's title or lands. Disposition of both was the purview of the Nahnmwarki and was determined by clan membership and rank. Henry was a member of his mother's clan the Dipwinluhk. By customary marriage practice his father was a member of a different clan in this case the Lipitahn.<br/><br/>The text of the Will reads:<br/><br/>Nannakin Last Will and Testament<br/><br/>Nannakin<br/><br/>This 27th of May 1863 at Ronno Kitte Island of Ponnopa this is my Testament or Act of my Last Will.<br/><br/>I Bequeath to my son Henery all my landed property such as Ant Islands Karlap.

Recognition of the tenets of the will have been honored since at least the late 19th century first by the Spanish administration of the Islands and then following the Spanish-American War of 1898 Germany bought the Islands from Spain. Then in the wake of World War I The League of Nations declared the Islands should pass on to Japan as a war debt and Japanese administration continued until 1945. Following the end of World War II Pohnpei became a trust territory of the United States until 1990 when the Pohnpeians now known as the Federated States of Micronesia FSM gained full independence and sovereignty.<br/><br/>The Nanpei family continues to be among the most prominent families in Pohnpei and controls important property and business interests across the islands.<br/><br/>Provenance: The document was acquired from the estate of a rare bookseller Richard Callaway who passed away in 2017. He obtained this document when he purchased the inventory of Doris Harris a rare book and autograph dealer who passed away in 2005 and retired from bookselling in 1999.
