| Port of Call - Rapa Nui (Easter Island), Chile

| Kang Je-Suk from South Korea with Rapa Nui friends
visiting the famous Rapa Nui Moai |
'Te Pito o Te Henua' or the
Navel of the World, is another name for the isolated Polynesian
island whose people are the farthest removed from any other population.
The closest inhabited land is Pitcairn Island, nearly 2000 kilometres
away! Although separated from South America by over 3700 kilometres
of Pacific Ocean, Rapa Nui is governed by Chile. But the cultural
traditions and people are more Polynesian, more Rapa Nui, than Chilean
- and the recent resurgence in indigenous culture and language are
good evidence of this. Despite a brutal colonial history during
which the Rapanui population was decimated to a mere 200 people,
and the island became a livestock ranch for 60,000 sheep, the Rapanui
people today number 4000 and rely on the tourism and salt industry
for their main sources of income.
