Australian Aboriginal People: The Rapa Nui of Easter Island and the Tiwi Islanders

He also pointed out that deforestation is occurring, but it is negligible and insufficient to attract attention. He talked about all the Moai statues that are standing, rich crops, and the signs that Rapa Nui does not have similar food. As the contacts in Europe became more frequent, the Rapa Nu culture was slowly destroyed. In 1770, three Spanish vessels visited Easter Island for four days, followed by Captain James in 1774. Something happened to Rapa Nui in 50 years since Jacob Roggeveen discovered Easter Island.

RAPA NUI Rapa Nui In this article, I will explain about Rapa Nui. They will arrive on Easter Island. I will introduce Rapa Nui's basic history and the discovery and residence of Easter Island. We will also consider cultures, marriages, families, religions, traditions and other topics. Rapa Nui is sometimes called Easter Island in Chile. The official name of Spain is Isla de Pascua. Located in the South East Pacific, it is the most isolated island of the Earth.

Easter Island (Rapa Nui: Rapa Nui, Spanish: Isla de Pasca) is a Chilean island located at the easternmost end of the Polynesian Delta in the South East Pacific Oceania. Easter Island is best known for its approximately 1,000 existing huge statues, created by its early Rapa Nui people called Moai. In 1995, UNESCO designated Easter Island as a World Heritage Site. Most of them were protected by Rapa Nui National Park. It is thought that residents of Polynesia on Easter Island arrived in Easter Island around 1200 AD. They created a prosperous and diligent culture with many huge stones and other relics on the island. However, the cultivation of the land and the introduction of rats of Polynesia led to a gradual deforestation. By the time it arrived in Europe in 1722, the island's population was estimated at 2,000 - 3,000. European illness, slave attacks of Peru in the 1860s, and immigrants to other islands

Rapa Nui is an exception to this area. The disease brought by Europeans and the slave owner of the 1860s nearly wiped out indigenous peoples. In 1888, the islands were consolidated by Chile; that people are now the only Pacific archipelagos controlled by the Latin American countries. There are few artifacts of the original culture of Easter Island. Native Polynesia (aka Rapa Nui) survived, but most people also speak Spanish. About one-third of the population of the island comes from Chile.

Easter Island is sometimes said to be the furthest place on Earth. Rapapani is the original name of Easter Island. We are at Rapa Iti. In Polynesia, it means that nui is big and iti means small. Lapa Itty, Lapa Nui, Pitcairn are three islands in the lower right corner of the South Pacific. That is a big blank part. Rapa Iti is located in the suburbs of the French Polynesia area, and Rapa Nui is located in the suburbs of the Chile region. Here, the sovereignty areas of France and Chile each gently end, and neither country is concerned.
