Discovered on Easter Sunday, 1722 by Dutch explorer Jakob Roggeveen, this collection of 25 meter-high stone sculptures still puzzles historians and archaeologists as to its origins. It is believed that a society of Polynesian origin settled here in the 4th century and established a unique tradition of monumental sculpture. Between the 10th and 16th centuries, they erected the enormous stone figures, known as the Moai, which have long fascinated the entire world and endowed this island with a mythical atmosphere.

Los Pascuenses son Polinesicos, Los Mapuches son Mapuches, Los Aymaras son Aymaras, Los Criollos son Criollos, Los Gitanos son Gitanos, Los inmigrantes son inmigrantes, y las nuevas corrientes mestizas: Nortinos, Chilotes, Huasos, etc, todos conforman un hermoso país llamado Chile, país intercultural, conformado por distintas naciones y hombres de distintos orígenes. Viva Easter Island.

I am not simply just speaking on Rapa Nui, but for our Polynesian heritage and culture touched and un-touched.

E mahele i ko na`auao oku kakou ho`olina e ola mau no"- (Share the knowledge of our heritage that it may live on)

I am a wahine, not kane. I have and will never be closed minded. In order for us not to repeat past mistakes we must make way and understand what our ancestors have done or not done to make way for our future, and in our culture.

where as most African countries have allowed theme selves to become colonized and owned by these other Euro Countries except for Ethiopia for one who refuses to be led down that path. The only reason Hawai'i joined the union of the states was due to the war between Japan and the US at that time, trying to protect their land and culture of what was left from the invasions of Europeans and the US., most currently on sacred land.

or maybe Paul, maybe there was a natural disaster that destroyed the populations and eco system of this Island before Captain Cook arrived. Paul what I do know is that Europeans, started this war, symbolically or not it continues. The only difference between the Native American Indians, the Polynesians, and the Africans is that the Native American Indians and the Polynesians are still fighting for their land and still holding on to their own of what is left,
