Since then, these 'Tiki Head Tissue Box Covers" have ap­ peared in catalogs all over the country, advertised as a "delightfully heady presence". We now have received dozens of the e advertisements (please, folks, no more....).

On page 19, item F offers what is called a STONE STATUE TISSUE BOX COVER. The item is a grossly portrayed image, and so identified, of what purports to be an Easter I land statue, or Moai, with a tissue protruding from its nose. Who is the halfwit who conceived such an in­ sulting piece of trash? Has he been to that magnificently hi ­ toric island to see the wonders, to experience the awe, to sense the culture, to come to know and love the Rapa Nui people, to move about on the most remote piece of inhabited land on Earth?

    1 http://chileprecolombino.cl/pueblos-originarios/rapa-nui/ambiente-y-localizacion/ RAPA NUI Location and geography Rapa Nui, as Easter Island is known to local inhabitants, is one of the most remote populated places on the planet. Set in the midst of the Pacific Ocean, the island is on the southeastern axis of the great Polynesian archipelago, more than 3500 kilometers west of mainland Chile. Volcanic in origin, it originally had a dozen tree species very similar to those found in Polynesia, and is now populated by migratory birds, marine mammals, fish, insects and small terrestrial snails. Economy In ancient times, the people of Rapa Nui subsisted by growing several varieties of plantain, squash, tubers and sugar cane, and complemented their diet with fishing, hunting and gatheringfood from the sea. They also used the native trees on the island to make textiles and obtain pigments and high quality timber, and they introduced the Polynesian mouse and domestic chickens to the island. Art The Rapa Nui people developed an advanced and sophisticated megalithic art tradition that emerged from their intense devotion to ancestor worship and is unparalleled in Polynesia. Over a period of five hundred years, they erected close to three hundred altars, called ahus, and carved more than six hundred stone moaistatues. These monumental pieces expressed the competition for power among different lineages on the island and a clear desire for ostentation through the construction of ever-larger and more elaborate works. The ahuswere the product of an architectural tradition that emerged gradually, free from external influences. The oldest of these platforms feature large walls composed of enormous blocks of lava fitted together with incredible precision.

Multiples Landscapes Relationalities in Contemporary Indigenous Rapa Nu By Antonia Rivas Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Charles Briggs, Co-Chair Professor Nancy Scheper-Hughes, Co-Chair Contemporary Rapa Nui is formed by a multiple and complex set of interactions, encounters, and circumstances that comprise the core of their indigenous identity, like many other indigenous people's realities. In this dissertation, I argue that there is not a simple or straightforward way of thinking about indigenous identities without falling into the trap of essentialism and stereotyping. Indigenous people are not what remained of ancestral civilizations, nor are they either invented nor folklorized commodities produced by ―neo-shamanism‖ discourses. Recent theoretical contributions to the understanding of the relationship of native peoples with their territories have been fundamental to rethinking the meanings of indigeneity, but I argue that they continue to essentialize indigenous people relations with their past and the ways in which they are understood in the present.

  • Why Indigenous Wisdom Matters: Finding Turtle Island - a Narrative
    WHY INDIGENOUS WISDOM MATTERS: FINDING TURTLE ISLAND - A NARRATIVE JAYME DANSEREAU B.Ed., University of Saskatchewan, 1997 A Project Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Lethbridge in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF EDUCATION FACULTY OF EDUCATION LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA December 2011 Indigenous wisdom enhances knowing and understanding of the earth and it is prudent to be guided by Indigenous wisdom in a time of ecological crisis. Through storytelling Indigenous wisdom offers messages of hope to the world in this struggle for harmony. There is an Ojibwa prophecy that states, "… look for a turtle-shaped island that is linked to the purification of the earth” (Benton-Banai, 1979). Easter Island (Rapa Nui), remotely located in the South Pacific, is a turtle-shaped island. This mysterious island’s stone monuments and wooden tablets are a seal about to be opened by a meek child. This project is a fictional narrative of one child’s journey of self-discovery. In Finding Turtle Island, this child, Hotu-iti, struggles to belong to a foreign island in 18th century Polynesia. The islanders are also struggling amidst a war to keep their ancient ways and protect their land. It takes the wisdom of a child hidden in a cave to lead the islanders to restoration. The story is filled with mysteries unraveled and epic adventures. This contextual narrative reflects transferable Indigenous values to help guide the renewal of the earth.
