Easter Island Statues
Rapa Nui is the collective term for the people, culture and language of Easter Island's original inhabitants who arrived by canoe about A.D.300 from Polynesia. Stylistic analysis of the monolithic sculptures they built shows their iconography and the different phases of Rapa Nui history. By Jo Anne Van Tilburg and David C. Ochsner.
