... History was made on November 23rd, 2017 when the ancestral lands of Easter Island were returned to the native people of this remote South Pacific island.

Up until the end of the 19th century, the inhabitants of Rapa Nui (also known as Easter Island) used to live all over the island, where the mighty moai statues are that this island is famous for. In 1888, the island was annexed to Chile, that rented out the island to a sheep shearing business. As a consequence, the rapa nui people were forced away from their homes and moved into what became the island’s only town – Hanga Roa.

Tourism started on a bigger scale in 1986, when NASA extended and improved the airport, thus allowing big passenger planes to visit. To minimize impact on the archaeology, the Chilean national forest corporation CONAF has been controlling the archaeological sites for the last decades. Today, the chilean president Michelle Bachelet has officially given back the control of these archaeolgical sites back to the locals, by passing it on to a local entity called Ma’u Henua.

Continuing protests against the Hotel Hanga Roa

Protests continue against the Hotel Hanga Roa
On April 16, 2012, the Hitorangi Clan again protested in front of the Hotel Hanga Roa for the recovery of their ancestral lands.
They did so in response to an international conference organized by Anvisibleesoteric (www.anvisible.com) being held at the Hotel Hanga Roa built on the Hitorangi clan’s land and sacred Ahu Makere (family altar) which had been unlawfully and violently taken. The Hitorangi clan invoked their ancestors (matamúas) asking them to help them in their struggle to regain their land.
The peaceful protest took place outside the hotel and was attended by 40 members of the Hitorangi clan. Adults and children carried signs, chanting they voiced their discomfort to tourists who were staying at Hanga Roa Hotel.
The tourists hid in the inner courtyards of the hotel to avoid the protesters. Nevertheless, family members were able to hand the tourists brochures and tell them about the Hitorangi clan’s struggle to regain possession of their lands.
Under Chilean law only Rapanui people can own land on the island. However, the current Chilean administration under Piñera continue to violate Chilean and international law.
This is one of the many protests that have occurred in recent months. These protests will continue in the coming weeks to ensure that the land be returned to the rightful owners.

THINGS HAVE DEFINITELY IMPROVED IN RAPA NUI FROM A YEAR AGO!! :)

"The Chamber of Deputies voted 95-6 in favor of the proposal to amend the Chilean Constitution, which currently allows unrestricted movement and residence throughout the country. The reform recognizes Easter Island (known as Rapa Nui in the language of its indigenous people) to be a “special territory” and enables its local government to impose greater controls on the influx of visitors, especially those wishing to stay on the island for extended periods."

“This is very positive for Rapa Nui,” island Mayor Luz Zasso told The Santiago Times. “We have to understand that the island is an open-air museum for the whole world – not just for foreign tourists, not just for Chileans, not even just for the islanders – but for the whole world. The legislature understands that and that is why this reform is going ahead.”

Project gives greater protection to Chile’s Easter Island Project gives greater protection to Chile’s Easter Island. Chilean Congress moves to give island control over flow of visitors, workers and hopeful residents.
