The people of Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, are believed to have arrived around 1200 CE, most likely from other Polynesian islands. They navigated vast distances across the Pacific Ocean using advanced double-hulled canoes, guided by stars, ocean currents, and bird behaviors. Genetic and linguistic evidence supports their origins from the Marquesas or Society Islands. Upon arrival, they established a unique culture, known for the iconic moai statues.
