University of San Francisco THE RE-IMAGINING OF RAPA NUI TRADITIONAL HEALING ARTS: EXPLORATIONS OF NARRATIVE IDENTITY, MIMESIS, AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the School of Education Organization and Leadership Program In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education By James Joves San Francisco May 2013 THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO Dissertation Abstract The Re-Imagining of Rapa Nui Traditional Healing Arts: Explorations of Narrative Identity, Mimesis, and the Public Sphere Research Topic In Rapa Nui is undergoing a cultural development crisis. This transition mixed with the ever-increasing popularity of tourism and global media has raised awareness of identity and culture within the Rapa Nui society. The present inquiry explores one aspect of their societal healing arts that is in the midst of re-exploration and re-imagination: their traditional medicinal practices or hervias tradicionales and the potential for the findings to help shape the lives of the Rapa Nui in their society. Theory and Protocol This research is grounded in critical hermeneutics and follows an interpretive approach to field research and data analysis (Herda 1999). Research Categories Three primary critical hermeneutic concepts drawn from the theoretical works of Paul Ricoeur (mimesis and narrative identity) and Jürgen Habermas (public sphere) provide the research categories for this inquiry. Findings The complexity faced on Rapa Nui is of developmental influences on the culture—Polynesian ways-of-life contrasting with Chilean structure and values. 1. The Arts of Traditional Healing are Becoming Lost Arts. Western medicine is frequently used in conjunction with traditional healing depending on the urgency of the situation. Regardless of use, the healing arts along with their traditional ii songs, dances, and language define the Rapa Nui identity, values, and culture. This is a priority among elders who view the younger generation lacking the drive in “being Rapa Nui.” 2. There is a Lack of Communication between Islanders and Mainland Chileans. This is notable in the issues of land tenure-ship, appropriation of funding and policies, and with the preservation of the arts and culture. The government infrastructure needs to be effective in bridging the cultures through the actions of meaningful conversations that are beneficial to the needs and wants of the community. 3. Islanders and Mainland Chileans Need to Develop Cooperatively a Rapa Nui Education Curriculum that Reflects the History, Politics and Culture. There is need to grow cultural educational programs that can add value in raising awareness and understanding between the developed and developer. This curriculum should be extended towards the migrant and immigrant populations coming to Rapa Nui for employment and their domestic counterparts. iii This dissertation, written under the direction of the candidate’s dissertation committee and approved by the members of the committee, has been presented to and accepted by the Faculty of the School of Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education. The content and research methodologies presented in this work represent the work of the candidate alone. James B. Joves February 27, 2013 Candidate Date Dissertation Committee Dr. Ellen A. Herda February 27, 2013 Chairperson Date Dr. Dan McPherson February 27, 2013 Date Dr. Laleh Shahideh February 27, 2013 Date Dr. Maria Palmo February 27, 2013 Date iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My research was made possible by the people of Rapa Nui, both Chilean and Rapa Nui. Their generosity to allow me to become part of their community at the Center for Better Adults has given me a rare insight into the values and beliefs of their elders— the nuas and koros. Their narrative stories is a testament into “being Rapa Nui.” I enjoyed their stories, songs, foods, and most of all, their caring nature that they exhibited towards me during my research. My regards extends to the Manutomatoma family for my stay and to Mahina Rapa Tuki—a Rapa Nui mentor and expert practitioner of the healing arts. My conversation with former governor, Dr. Sergio Rapu, has given me an appreciation to the Chilean efforts on the island within the historical context of Rapa Nui civil rights and humanity. This research would not have been made possible without the faith, belief, and tireless efforts of my advisor and mentor, Dr. Ellen Herda. Her teachings of critical hermeneutics has allowed me to appropriate new meaning into my understanding of development practices as relating to identity and society. To Dr. Dan McPherson, his input into shaping my dissertation is invaluable. To Dr. Laleh Shahideh, whose book on The Power of Iranian Narratives (2004) gave me insights into conducting the conversation. The pilot study for this research was driven by the incredible energy of Dr. Maria Palmo, whose doctoral research into Uganda arts, allowed me to appropriate new meaning into the traditional healing arts. Lastly, I want to give thanks to my family for their continual and loving support in my never-ending pursuit of learning. v The entire formation of our life-world through the construction of an ethical order, as well as the development of religious and cultural traditions, can be traced back to the ultimate miracle of language. This does not consist in the ability to signal to one another, in order to regulate the behavior of the species, but in the ability to form a particular language community and thereby a common world. What is new is the ability to listen to one another, the capacity to attend to another human being. Herein consists the universal dimension of hermeneutics, a dimension which encompasses and supports all our reason and thought.

Subject Areas Introduction • language arts • social studies Historical mysteries are a sure-fire way to get students interested in the past. Studying the origins and meaning of the giant stone statues of Rapa Nui give students a wonderful opportunity to delve into a civilization that remains an enigma. Historical Background Rapa Nui, an island in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile, is more than 1,000 miles away from the nearest inhabited island, Pitcairn Island. Rapa Nui received the name Easter Island from Admiral Jacob Roggeveen, who sailed a trade ship for the Dutch West India Company. He landed on the island on Easter Day, 1722, and named it in honor of the holiday. It is now a Chilean territory. A mere 66 square miles, Rapa Nui was inhabited for thousands of years by Polynesians who raised crops, built houses, and worshipped gods in nearly complete isolation from the rest of the world. They also created enormous stone statues, moai, that still stand. These statues are thought to honor sacred chiefs and gods and may have emerged out of friendly competitions between groups of craftsmen.

  • Vaikava Rapa Nui Easter Island’S Rapa Nui People Uphold Tradition As Guardians of the Ocean
    A fact sheet from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Bertarelli Foundation March 2018 Vaikava Rapa Nui Easter Island’s Rapa Nui people uphold tradition as guardians of the ocean Easter Island, a territory of Chile that lies some 4,000 kilometers (2,485 miles) west of that country’s coast, is world famous for its Moai statues, which are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Now the treasures off the shores of this remote island are safeguarded as well with the creation of the Rapa Nui Marine Protected Area (MPA) in 2018. The surrounding waters, which contain unique biodiversity, feed the local Rapa Nui people and help them continue centuries-old cultural traditions. Though still largely unexplored, Easter Island’s waters are known to contain geological hot spots teeming with life in an area of the Pacific Ocean that is otherwise extremely poor in nutrients. A chain of underwater seamounts provides conditions that help sustain unique wildlife such as the Easter Island butterflyfish, or tipi tipi in local dialect, and the Nazca bigeye—two of the more than 140 species found only in Rapa Nui waters. The area also harbors 27 Threatened or Endangered species, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and is an important spawning ground for many species, including tuna, marlins, and swordfish. The seafloor off the island is also home to the only hydrothermal vents in Chilean waters. Overfishing threatens the island’s biodiversity Increasingly, commercial fishing fleets are pushing into every nook of the world’s oceans. Left unchecked, this activity could quickly—and irreversibly—damage Easter Island’s special marine environment.

  • Human Discovery and Settlement of the Remote Easter Island (SE Pacific)
    quaternary Review Human Discovery and Settlement of the Remote Easter Island (SE Pacific) Valentí Rull Laboratory of Paleoecology, Institute of Earth Sciences Jaume Almera (ICTJA-CSIC), C. Solé i Sabarís s/n, 08028 Barcelona, Spain; [email protected] Received: 19 March 2019; Accepted: 27 March 2019; Published: 2 April 2019 Abstract: The discovery and settlement of the tiny and remote Easter Island (Rapa Nui) has been a classical controversy for decades. Present-day aboriginal people and their culture are undoubtedly of Polynesian origin, but it has been debated whether Native Americans discovered the island before the Polynesian settlement. Until recently, the paradigm was that Easter Island was discovered and settled just once by Polynesians in their millennial-scale eastward migration across the Pacific. However, the evidence for cultivation and consumption of an American plant—the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas)—on the island before the European contact (1722 CE), even prior to the Europe-America contact (1492 CE), revived controversy. This paper reviews the classical archaeological, ethnological and paleoecological literature on the subject and summarizes the information into four main hypotheses to explain the sweet potato enigma: the long-distance dispersal hypothesis, the back-and-forth hypothesis, the Heyerdahl hypothesis, and the newcomers hypothesis. These hypotheses are evaluated in light of the more recent evidence (last decade), including molecular DNA phylogeny and phylogeography of humans and associated plants and animals, physical anthropology (craniometry and dietary analysis), and new paleoecological findings. It is concluded that, with the available evidence, none of the former hypotheses may be rejected and, therefore, all possibilities remain open.
