Erhart Aten (1932–2004) was a Micronesian politician who served as the first elected Governor of Chuuk State (then called Truk).[1] Aten took office in 1978 after self-government was implemented.[2] He stepped down from office in 1986 after serving two, four-year terms as Governor[3] and was succeeded by Gideon Doone.[1] Aten graduated from Xavier High School, a Jesuit secondary school located on Chuuk, in 1962.[1]
In late November 2004, Aten and three other men were crossing Chuuk lagoon to Weno island when their boat was hit by a storm.[2] Their boat and all on board were lost at sea.[2]
