I was in this place. I saw them many times on other stages as well. I became a big fan of them.

@@ringofuentealba7976 ring, so "Rapa Nui" means "Hawaii"?

[@odpvvpdo2934]

They prefer to leave “Easter Island” behind and be called by their real name Rapa Nui. Since 2017 the official name of the island is Rapa Nui.

Iorana, yes, they were "at the brink of extintion"... but she forgot to mention that it was the Chilean government which put an end to the slaving expeditions that came from Peru... she also forgot to mention that Rapa Nui and the marine park Motu Motiro Hiva are an integral part of Chile, and that Rapa Nui islanders are "privileged" citizens that do not pay taxes and have many other advantages... And who paid for transporting such a huge delegation? perhaps the Chilean government? (it means our money, from us all) and we did not even got to see the Chilean flag besides the one from Rapa Nui... is this respectful? I do not think so, and as a chilean citizen I will expose my concern to the authorities. As an archaeologist I know the history of Polynesia (Micronesia & Melanesia) quite well and have many arguments to back my viewpoints, I am also very familiar with "minority" rights issues and cultural relativism, so I do not get seduced by the light discourse about "identity" and "rights" that permeates the mainstream optics, and besides I love this common heritage we have, all nations from the South Pacific...

Because Rapa Nui is Māohi not Chiliean Pinochi lead government it’s call Colonisation before any colonised super power came it was not Easter Island it was called “Rapanui” Chile should finance it it’s what most Colonialism country should repay what they took away from the true people of “Rapanui”

@@keletodyer1487 Claramente los dos acá hablan de cosas que desconocen, el primero se siente ofendido al no ver banderas de Chile, pues le cuento amigazo, si hubiera visto todo el festival, se daría cuenta que la delegación de Rapa Nui, fue la ÚNICA, que a parte de su bandera Te Vaka, llevaba la bandera de Chile. Y el pueblo de Chile y todos sus habitantes deben pagar por está delegación que deja en muy alto el nombre de Rapa Nui y de Chile, (los impuestos están para eso), el lugar más visitado turisticamente de Chile es Rapa Nui. Al segundo, habla de cosas que claramente desconoce, Chile nunca ha sido colonialista, esa es una estupidez de marca mayor, Chile realizo un acuerdo/ pacto con la gente de Rapa Nui, donde se incorporaban a la soberanía de Chile y Chile como nación, los protegería de los esclavistas peruanos, aclarando que se mantendría una cierta independencia, respetando las tradiciones y leyes locales, y asi vivimos hoy en día respetando la cultura de uno y del otro y sintiéndose orgullosos de ambas, sobre todo los que pertenecemos a una parte y a la otra por igual

@@puma1304 from the usa as an outsider with no formal views, i would love to hear more about the history!!! i just happened to comment on this video and i hope i did not offend anyone in the process.... if so, my apologiez in advance. I have no knowledge on the origins or current affairs of polynesia micronesia or melanesia... i honelstly just love your culture and fell in love with your love of earth and dance....

[@odpvvpdo2934]

De verdad cansan con su patriotismo barato, a nadie le importa si está o no la bandera chilena en un festival indígena de la polinesia mas que a los chovinistas de turno. Rapa Nui no le debe nada a Chile porque fue decisión del Estado Chileno hacerse cargo de la isla y bien abandonados que los tienen, ni un hospital decente hay en la isla y los obligan a volar mas de 6 horas para atenderse o estudiar en el continente y aparte los quieren obligar a sentirse chilenos cuando la mayoria de los chilenos no está ni interesados en conocer la cultura rapa nui y menos en respetarla. Rapa Nui no le debe nada al estado Chileno y no tiene porque respetar ni una bandera que no sea la de ellos.
