Bounty after the famed mutiny. Many of the people on the island are the descendants of the original settlers. The Pitcairn miscellany is still around. As of December 2012 the future of TPM was reviewed by the Pitcairn Island Council. In March 2013, a native of Pitcairn Island, Jacqui Christian, was appointed the editor instead of annexing the role to that of the expatriate school teacher. Ms Christian hopes to build the publication readership up once more from its current 248 subscribers to the 2000+ subscribers it had in the past with the objective of using this historical asset to produce revenue for the Pitcairn government. Pitcairn currently receives budgetary aid from the UK as a result of declining demand for stamp and coin sales and increased operating costs for the island.
