The Sokehs Mass Grave Site marks the location where 15 Sokehs rebels were executed by German authorities in 1911 following an uprising against colonial rule. Today, a simple monument and grave markers honor the rebels, set in a clearing surrounded by tropical vegetation. The site serves as a powerful reminder of Pohnpei's resistance to colonialism and is a place of reflection for visitors interested in the island's struggle for autonomy.
