Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, is traditionally divided into several clans rather than tribes. The island is known for its distinct cultural groups, with a total of about 12 main clans historically recognized, each associated with specific territories and social structures. However, the term "tribes" can be somewhat misleading, as the social organization is more complex than that. Ultimately, while there are numerous clans, the concept of 11 tribes specifically does not accurately reflect the island's historical organization.
