    the Marquesas are NOT a part of Tahiti. two COMPLETELY different groups of Polynesians....
    ie the first people to find the Hawaiian Islands were from Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas, they also found Easter Island, they made their 'idols' tiki out of stone..... the 2nd group of people to find Hawaii were invaders from Tahiti about 300 yrs later, they easily took over and killed off all the true Hawaiians the ones from the Marquesas. These 2nd invaders called them 'manahune', meaning 'small worthless person' a 'slave', this was mistranslated as a small person in stature like an 'elf' by the first haole like Cook Vancouver Clerke King Bligh etc.... ps these Tahiti kine 2nd invaders never made their 'idols' out of stone, only wood.... in Hawaii the Marquesas-Hawaiians (1st) cut stones in squares for walls, the Tahitians-Hawaiians (2nd) only stacked stones for walls, very very different... making it easy to tell how old ancient sites are here.... fish hooks diff too, many others too

      The Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia are home to the indigenous people who speak the Marquesas Language, also known as Marquesan. They also speak French.

    You mis pronounced pension. As a place to stay the accent is on the last syllable.

    Definitely unusual destination. Shes brave but seems to be enamoured by the idea of the survival of the fittest as a ‘good thing’… ( 50-50 survival rate of tattoos was a ‘good’ thing) check out a simple, Wikipedia article islands were also known for human sacrifice inter tribal warfare and polygamy (not big on women’s rights !) although today is identifying as 97% Christian (no mention of the churches built there) oh and no more human sacrifice, phew! but rather a preference for hosting wealthy white tourists instead. History is fascinating ! 😊
