Rapa Nui is the name of the people, place and Polynesian language of the original inhabitants of Easter Island, Chile. Traditionally, the population was divided into ten stratified clans with the famous large stone statues perhaps serving as markers of clan territories as well as chiefly portraits. Although settlement was coastal, subsistence was primarily agricultural. Modern subsistence supplements protein from fishing with herding of sheep and cattle, and paid employment is found within the government and the tourism industry, the latter sparking a cultural revival.
