Rapa Nui, Easter Island, Part 2. Chili.
In this presentation about Rapa Nui, Easter Island, Part 2 we start at the Father Sebastian Englert Anthropological Museum. This is a museum in the town of Hanga Roa on Rapa Nui. Named for the Bavarian missionary, Fr. Sebastian Englert, OFM Cap., the museum was founded in 1973 and is dedicated to the conservation of the Rapa Nui cultural patrimony. The museum is administered by the Chilean Directorate of Libraries, Archives and Museums (DiBAM) and houses the William Mulloy Library.
The museum houses the only female moai, as well as one of the coral eyes that were placed in the moai. There are wood statuettes, a photographic collection, archives of traditional music, and a three-thousand-volume library. You get an extensive impression. After this we visit a cave Ana Te Pahu used as shelter. At the Ahu Akivi we met 7 Moais in the innerland, perhaps a sacred place; all the other Moais are found at the coast. Next we visit the place Puna Pau where the hats of the Moais were made. At least you will see the Moais in Hango Roa and north of this place. We end with beautiful pictures of the sunset.

5. Carlos carving
6. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Carlos Manu Tora-Tora, Craftsman:
The meaning - these are spirits seen by the King (Tuku-Ihu). He saw them while sleeping. The spirits told him not to tell anybody, so he carved them. So this is it, this is called Moai Kawa-Kawa.
7. Various of tourists in a craft shop
8. Various of local craft jewellery
9. Various of woman making necklaces
10. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Alberto Otu, President of Council of Elders, Rapa Nui:
Well, we use the local stone and wood. The Moai were cut with Tolomiro (a tree that is now extinct considered sacred to Easter Islanders). But with the arrival or foreigners, they started to burn the wood in order to have land for their ships, and it disappeared. But we have other trees, Macota and Miro-Tahiti, we carve carve with those. But the important thing is that the carving has to be done in the island no matter what the material. Because the people that come to visit us buy things so that they can show they that were here.
11. Various of wooden and stone carvings.
12. Various of people weaving with bark and seashells
13. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Poma Hina, Craftsperson:
And the other materials that Mother Nature gives us are from the sea. We have many seashells. The most wanted is the 'pure' that according to some studies here on Easter Island is the only place in the world were they are found. There are others that are similar but the 'pure', a dark brown shell, only grows here, in Rapa Nui, the Navel of the World.
14. Close-up Poma Hina working on a necklace
15. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Poma Hina, Craftsperson:
All is hand made, nothing external. No glue. Its all given by nature. With fibres, if we have to make thread its made with Kakaka (banana tree) or Matute Hau Hau (papyrus). No chemistry, all natural.

LEAD IN:
Located 3,600 kilometres (2,200 miles) from the nearest continent, Easter Island is one of the most isolated places on Earth.
Famous for its giant stone statues, known as Moai, Easter Island has no shortage of visitors despite its remoteness.
The island is also renown for its local craftspeople who are enjoying a booming trade thanks to an influx of tourists.
STORYLINE:
The most famous expression of craft work on Easter Island are the iconic Moai that dot the island.
After travelling at least 2000 miles to get to the island, replicas of the famous stone statues are a must-have for tourists.
The craftspeople use the same volcanic rock that was used to build the originals. Some however are made from local wood.
Craftsman Carlos Manu Tora Tora says he is using Macota wood.
Nobody knows the exact origin of the Moai, but the theories are endless.
Tora Tora offers one explanation - saying they were spirits seen by the King (Tuku-Ihu) while sleeping. The spirits told him not to tell anybody, so he carved them instead.
With a population of less than 4000, the production of souvenirs for tourists is an important trade.
Alberto Otu, the president of Council of Elders - the Rapa Nui - says the craftspeople use local wood.
He says locals use many types of wood to carve the souvenirs.
Craftsperson Poma Hina says that Easter Island has many shells that people use.

Ana Te Pora Cave on Easter Island / Rapa Nui / Isla De Pascua
Ana Te Pora is another cave system on Easter Island and this one was huge inside with a big roomy arch, it was used as both a shelter and ceremonial place in ancient times. When I was exploring the outside of the cave system looking for more holes in the ground it began to rain heavily again so I went back to the car to take shelter.

Easter Island visit
A fascinating trip to a mysterious island. There are many theories about how the statues (80 tons) were moved from the quarry, but none have been proven to be accurate.

The archaeology of Easter Island (25 Nov 2014)
Professor Sue Hamilton, UCL Institute of Archaeology
Easter Island is famous for its colossal statues (moai), which were quarried and sculptured c. AD 1200–1500 and are the product of a prehistoric society. Study of this society has focused on its demise, but the neglected mystery is why the statues were put up in the first place.

Swim Against Plastic: Easter Island
Swim Against Plastic is a worldwide initiative to raise awareness about plastic pollution created by globalization, tourism and the lack of waste management infrastructure around the world.
We kick off the campaign next month by traveling to Easter Island, where South African endurance athlete, Sarah Ferguson, will attempt to become the first person ever to swim the island's entire perimeter. We'll also conduct beach cleanups and educational forums, in addition to engaging with the local community to learn from them how these issues are impacting Easter Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site they call Rapa Nui.
