Napa Nui
Neapa NuiThe Moais are the greatest monumental term in the whole of Polynesia and have been astonishingly agitated up to 18 km without mechanics - according to legends, they were agitated by mana, the spirit force. Three million years ago, the volcanic ash was erupted from a unique volcanic rock at the bottom of the sea.
The majority of the sites are along the western and southern shores, as well as two high class beach breaks with a stunning landscape on the northern part. No sheltered coves or points, but exploring the southern shore will unveil a secure curve or a pristine coastal swimmingpool to climb in and out of. Native windsurfers are kind and open and show typically Polyynesian proud of their islands and cultures that demand reverence.

Rose, President of the Easter Island Foundation.
"There is a long tradition of support for the publishing and distribution of Polyynesian research in the journal, beginning with the handwritten notes of Rana Nui over 30 years ago. Since this modest beginning, the Rapid Nui Journal has become a powerful, expertly appraised research voices on Rapid Nui and Polynesia. Looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship with UH Press when we start the next stage of the Rapid Nui Journal.
Rapa Nui Journals has been described as the "first repository of Easter Island and scholarly studies". It deals with archeology, ethnology, anthropology, flora, culture resources managment, culture and folklore, environment, earthology, history, languages, musical science and many other issues related specifically to Easter Island, but also to other Pacific isles.
The magazine also offers review books and information about the Pacific Isle. It was edited in 30 books by the Easter Iceland Foundation from 1986 to 2016. At that time she only had a rusted typing machine, handwritten correspondence and note -taking from the isle. The name of the song was "Rapa Nui Note.
" The book included information about what was going on on the Isle and Georgia added research project information and put it into "Fillers" about new releases, etc. Increasingly, and attracting the interest of Alan Drake, who provided his production capabilities, Alan Nui Notes made it a 8-page volume (Winter 1987-88).
Eventually we agreed that we had to change the name to Rapa Nui Journals. As Grant McCall called it, "the first resource for Easter Island meetings and scholarly studies". "Georgia and her associate Frank Morin collaborated to produce the magazine from 1991 to 2008. The 2008-2009 issue was co-published by Georgia and Shawn McLaughlin.
Between 2010 and 2012, Thegn Ladenhoged and Mara Mulrooney from the University of Auckland jointly edited the magazine. From 2013 until the last edition in 2016, Mara Mulrooney, now Director of Cultural Resources and Anthropology at the Bishop's Museum, was editor-in-chief of the Rapa Nui Jouni.
During her tenure, the magazine has grown to over 100 pages per edition, which have been evaluated by experts and appear semi-annually. Osterinsel-Stiftung wants to establish a sound foundation to guarantee the continuity of its work. Help us to maintain this singular and insulated Polyynesian Isle.
