The Ma’u Henua Indigenous Community held, the last July 7th, the commemoration “Haŋ a Rau O Te Ariki. Tu’u Maheke Te Ariki Nui”, a cultural activity that evokes the beginning of the Rapa Nui culture through the birth of the first Rapa Nui maohi, Tu’u Maheke. For the fourth consecutive year, Ma’u Henua, through its Intangible Heritage Unit, together with artists, cultural groups and educational institutions, gathered to commemorate and celebrate this event. The board of Ma’u Henua was in charge of welcoming the attendees: local and cultural authorities, community members and visitors, highlighting the importance of this date in the cultural calendar of Rapa Nui.
