Easter Island, Spanish Isla de Pascua, also called Rapa Nui, Chilean dependency in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It is the easternmost outpost of the Polynesian island world. It is famous for its giant stone statues. The island stands in isolation 1,200 miles (1,900 kilometres) east of Pitcairn Island and 2,200 miles west of Chile. Forming a triangle 14 miles long by seven miles wide, it has an area of 63 square miles (163 square kilometres); its highest point, Mount Terevaka, is 1,969 feet (600 metres) above sea level.
To its original inhabitants the island is known as Rapa Nui (“Great Rapa”) or Te Pito te Henua (“Navel of the World”). The first European visitors, the Dutch, named it Paaseiland (“Easter Island”) in memory of their own day of arrival. Its mixed population is predominantly of Polynesian descent; almost all live in the village of Hanga Roa on the sheltered west coast. Pop. (2002) 3,304; (2017) 7,750.
People
The island’s population represents the easternmost settlement of a basically Polynesian subgroup that probably derived from the Marquesas group. The original Rapa Nui vocabulary has been lost except for some mixed Polynesian and non-Polynesian words recorded before the Tahitian dialect was introduced to the decimated population by missionaries in 1864. Today Spanish is generally spoken. In their traditions, the islanders consistently divide themselves into descendants of two distinct ethnic groups, the “Long-Ears” and the “Short-Ears” (see below). Intermarriage is common, and an influx of foreign blood has become increasingly dominant in recent years.
Archaeology
The island is famous for its gigantic stone statues, of which there are more than 600, and for the ruins of giant stone platforms (ahus) with open courtyards on their landward sides, some of which show masterly construction. Archaeological surveys were carried out in 1886, 1914, and 1934; archaeological excavations were initiated in 1955. The excavations revealed that three distinct cultural periods are identifiable on the island.
The early period is characterized by ahus at Tahai, Vinapu, and Anakena, carbon-dated to about 700-850 ce. The first two were admired and described by Captain Cook; the wall in Anakena remained hidden below ground until it was excavated archaeologically in 1987. The excavations in Anakena have revealed that a variety of statues were carved in the early period, among them a smaller prototype of the middle-period busts, which mainly differ from the latter by their rounded heads and stubby bodies. Another type was a realistic sculpture in full figure of a kneeling man with his buttocks resting on his heels and his hands on his knees, in one case with his ribs exposed, all features characteristic of pre-Inca monuments at Tiwanaku in South America.
In the middle period, about 1050-1680, statues were deliberately destroyed and discarded, and all ahus were rebuilt with no regard for solar orientation or masonry fitting. The sole desire seems to have been to obtain strong platforms capable of supporting ever taller and heavier busts, the classical moai of the middle period.
Came here after watching Fall of Civilization's Easter Island documentary..
My eyes are even more watery now.
Their tragic story and the present days! Wow so much feelings if you know the history.

Hotu Matua is the older brother to Hotu Roa.
Hotu Roa was the Captain of the Tainui Canoe that left Rapa Nui in search of another land to live in and following the Southern Cross Star Constellation bought them to New Zealand(Aoetearoa)
The descendants of the Tainui Canoe are the Waikato people located on the west side of North Island in New Zealand.
Yeah I’m starting to get it even in the cook island kupe visited one of the island and in a village called Te matahourua kupe nAmed his waka Te mataphourua the first waka to come to Nz and there descendants are the Ngati Tuhoe

Reverse that theory and instead of heading to Aotearoa, they came from Aotearoa heading towards Hawaii. But everything in your theory is correct
Takitimu also visited Te Kahukahu o Hera / Rapanui, one generation before Tamatea, under the name Takipū and under the command of Tangiia, He went there to collect the son of Ironui who he visited in te henua enata / Marquesas is, Ironui's son Tai Teariki was to be raised by Tangiia, after Tangiia's own children were murdered by his cousin Tutapu.

Good
I doubt I will ever make it to Easter ,if I did I would only leave when they made me. I hate technology absolutely hate it have no social media other then an email which is how I'm on here and I had to have it for work. I prefer to spend the nights gazing at the sky talking to god. You know why not everyone sees or hears god is because we take everything for granted I see god in the eyes of my dog when I walk in the house, that child at the supermarket that smiles when u see it, the Caterpillar on the leaf that's blowing in the wind that he put there just for you. It's amazing the things we miss everyday if I didn't have to work all I would do is gaze at the sky and just enjoy the time i have left. May gods blessings and good energy come to all who read this. Be safe and godspeed.
Man, I am 19 years old and already feel depressed bcs of the way we have to live. You have to study to get a job and spend your whole life working to earn just a living just to survive and then retire and die. I am ready to go to a far isolated island like Tristan du cunha or easter island and I am ready to work as a farmer there or whatever I can not to survive but just be isolated from all this stress and stuff
@@lifeofeslam1788 You can not let life stress you and believe me that's easy for me to say then to do. You are still young alot of life ahead of you, find somthing you will enjoy as a career it may take a few trys but there are alot of trades that pay well and no disrespect but the construction trade will be in high demand in a bit because the young people dont want to work in it I'm a welder/fabricator it pays well. Had I not been stupid with my money I would be well off today. And as far as welding goes eccently all you have to do is learn the trade companys will give you a test each job you start. Biggest thing is find somthing you enjoy, when you do you will not work your whole life you will play. That's not easy to do but it can be done. Good luck my friend and Godspeed.
Why Godspeed is there a meaning for that?
And hope you do well too.
@@Justin-zo9dt I usually finish all my messages with that and have for a long time. It means essentially may you be prosperous wherever life takes you, may god be with you.
These people are definitely Pacific Islanders it’s weird hearing them speaking Spanish
Are they not also Native American by definition?
Despite obviously not being Amerindian.
U can see they are mixed with Spanish blood as well and they speak Spanish too. So cool how people mix.
How ppl mix, in this particular case is not cool at all , coz they were colonized and probably massacred to almost instinction by spaniards and probably others. These are original people / indigenous that now resemble to Latinos ...
@@pejon2269 yeah but chileans werent like spaniards, there wasnt any massacre or slavery
How can you see they are mixed with Spanish?
Hominid, Homo Erectus, aka Moi, Enkai, Ngai, Ol Doinyo Lengai, Mount Nagi, Rangi, Rangiroa, Mount Binga, Mount Nyangani, Mount Taranaki, Mount Kinabalu, Nankai Trough, Hangi, etc
Very interesting points of view, that first woman has. As far as the children go, they do that all over the world. Its not just on Easter island ( Rapa Nui ) unfortunately that’s same stuff happens In every country around the world! The most of the children don’t want anything todo with ancient teachings. Or any thing religion. It’s getting worst every year , it seems like there is no respect coming from the Millennials. They all seem to think the world owes them something . Most are very self centered.
There’s nothing wrong with stepping away from religion, nor does that link to “disrespect” or “being self-centered” lol.
You just sound like the latest line of grumpy old people complaining about the new generation-just like your elders complained about you when you were young. 😂
So weird hearing polynesians speak Spanish lol
Easter Island just lost real language
They bilingual, speak in the Rapa Nui language and in Spanish and most also speak English, in the school they teach both languages Rapanui and Spanish, and on the island the language most spoken by the natives is the Rapanui language. .
Just how their cousins (Taino Indians) end up speaking Spanish. It’s straight up crazy
we speak rapa nui and spanish since our island is ubicated in Chile. :D
@@lovepeace1552
Tainos ain’t related to Polynesians…
Tainos are Native Americans
So nice to watch after 50 years when I read the book Aku Aku by Thor Hydehal
From ielts cambridge 11 reading test 2 passage 2.great history

Boats and Planes
Teleportation or astral projection.

Please can someone help me,I'm frm VANUATU,my great grandma said that his great grandfather said,we were from Easter island,all of them were already lost,bt I remember my grandma said his grandfather all were skillfull in stne carving,they sail frm Easter island to Fiji,then some sail again to Vanuatu in the island of west ambae,and they came ashore which is now known as dnui dnui
Pacific islands
Yes these are the people where South America and the Pacific converge, therefore are both Pacific Islanders AND Native Americans.
FACT: Easter Island IS NOT AN ISLAND! The locals would never know this. Easter Island is the apex of a mountain that rises over 6000 feet from the south pacific seabed floor. Just because the apex rises out of the mountain does not make it an island. You have to imagine, when you are visiting this Easter (Mountain) Island that you are walking on top of a mountain. It changes the entire perspective.
Yes kinda similar to Hawai’i island
I need your ticket
Hey. I heard and seen , one of the the park rangers on Rapa Nui where the statues are in a line like 15 I think , on a huge flat pedestal . That very rude park ranger named Philippe was yelling at the 2 tourists for stepping on a small rock barrier in the middle of the sight. He yell called names at them calling them stupid, being forceful , tried to push an with camera off a pile of rocks he was standing on in front of the gate trying to leave.
What ever happened to that park ranger on Easter island?
They have the video that I’m talking about on RUclips. There are a few copies of the disorderly park ranger floating around RUclips now. . That ranger needs to be fired . And should never be allow to work with any foreigners ever again. He apparently had a problem with the camera man and his girlfriend. I haven’t heard the out come. Of what happened to the park ranger ? And If he still works for the park services on Rapa Nui anymore ? I won’t ever schedule a trip to Easter island if that horrible ranger still has a job with the national Chilean, park .
you sure
So are the Rapa Nui people properly considered Native American or Pacific Islander?
Realistically, both.
Klk he mentiira dominicano
Is their a doctor
Why isnt Filipe narrating this video?
Spanish to chile
Where is felippe? The crazy dude who want the ticket?
Pilipino also
You mean to say that the way that the Rapa Nui people are from where both the Pacific Islands and the American mainland converge makes them both Pacific Islanders and Native Americans is similar to how the Filipinos are from where the Pacific Islands and mainland Asia converge, and therefore are both Asian and Pacific Islander? I agree.
Most of these people are mixed with Spanish nowadays. Much love to my Rapa Nui Ohana, Much Aroha From Owyhee "Hawai'i"
And Native American as well!
you better think twice if you wanted to go here
Nice one
❤ from India (Kerala)
Eda malayaleee. Evide poyaalum undallo.
their face mostly caucasian than polynesian why? is it mixed?
Yes some are mixed with Native American as well.
Anakena? That's who put the statues there ....Annunaki...sons of Anak..
Filipinas
There Polynesian
@@williammoreno-pp1og
Filipinos such as Ilocanos, Tagalogs, and Visayans, are of Polynesian Descent, having small flat noses, and brown skin, just like the Rapa Nui Natives of Easter Island.
So Easter islanders are literally Polynesian Spanish people? 😂
It belongs to Chile 🇨🇱...
@@luisselby7041 what does this have to do with my question?
@@luisselby7041 The Ancient Tongan Empire created Easter island.
@@pootz8082 it was a pretty stupid question
@@polarbers nah you’re pretty stupid my guy
Looks like Mexican food
Well no crap, there basically part of Latin America lol. Since chili owns the island
I think they will survive a nuclear world war
No thank you, not since I have watched the video called "my worst travel experience - Easter Island" and seen how this park ranger "Felipe" is acting. He is a dangerous man.
I don't believe the people would care one bit that you never visit their beautiful island. You ain't special.
@@apu6216 Dito :-)
You think bad travel experiences are exclusive to this one island? Maybe just don't travel at all if you're really that narrow minded
It looks so barren their islands. Wheres the coconut trees and jungles like most other pacific islands?
Amada isla, amada gente.por siempre.❤️❤️❤️❤️
