Traditions, Beliefs & Attitudes:

1. Polynesian culture dominates Easter Island:

The culture is heavily dominated by, both, the Polynesian culture and the unique experience it has from constant isolation and limited resources. First introduced to the rest of the world by Dutch sailors, the population was soon reduced due to an influx of European foreigners who brought along diseases and slave trading in the 1700s.

2. Locals are excellent craftsmen:

Along with everyday tasks, the locals are excellent craftsmen. They work with wood, fiber, and feathers to create symbols of religious power. The culture is heavily tied to the ecclesiastical hierarchy which they followed. The developed societies which suited their status. The status is directly linked to their descent as the gods are very powerful and well-respected.

3. Traditional tobogganing:

Locally known as Haka Pei, also known as traditional tobogganing, is a form of a traditional race. There is no ice involved in this. The locals build toboggans with wood and they toboggan down a hill of dirt or grass, alone or in two pairs.

4. Takona- the body paint:

A variety of traditional clothing is worn during the festive season. Takona is another part of their traditions of celebrating the people and the Rapa Nui. Takona is a type of a body-paint. It is made out of all-natural pigments. They draw symbols all over their bodies to relive the mythologies of their tribe and the history of Easter Island.

Locals are excellent craftsmen:

5. Ivi Atua:

The traditional belief of Rapa Nui culture is known as Ivi Atua. It is the belief that the soul is immortal. The belief also states that their spirit ancestors help them throughout their lives. Their supreme and creator God is known as Make-Make. They believe in the Mana, meaning the mental and supernatural power held by the chiefs of the tribe. These beliefs that they hold are the reasons why they have festivals in respect of their ancestors. It is their way of paying tribute to continue to help and guide them.

Locals are excellent craftsmen:

6. Incredible Facts about the Easter Island:

Easter Island is the world's most isolated island. Has transparent water upto 60 metres down.

Post the civil wars, epidemics, slave raids, famine, and deforestation, out of the 1877 population only 111 was remaining.

It is known by multiple names. Paasch-Eyland, Rapa Nui, Te Pito O Te Henua.

There are 900 Eastern Island Statues. About 887 of them are waiting to be discovered.

In 1914, a team of archeologists found out the heads have bodies inside too. Till then the statues were known as Easter Island heads.

UNESCO has declared Rapa Nui National Park as a World Heritage Site in 1995.

Things to do at Easter Island:

Rano Raraku Park

Ÿ Main attraction on Easter Island

Ÿ The Moai can be seen in all stages of production.

Sunrise from Tongariki

Ÿ Witness the sunrise from right behind 15 moai statues on an Ahu (ceremonial platfrom)

Ÿ Surprisingly, the sunrise happens at 8.30 am there.
