Mokil

Mokil, or known to the locals as Mwoakilloa, is one of 6 outer-island municipalities on Mokil Atoll in the state of Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. Almost 200 people live on a land area of about 1 square km.

The atoll was formerly known as Wellington Island.

The atoll is home to a local legend of a Princess Eti, who could speak in many tongues, and communicated with the first French explorers to the island.
