M“We feel at peace to have been able to connect again with our Polynesian brothers. It had such a strong impact of happiness, love towards each other, of regaining inner peace in our hearts, and that allows us to simply be more creative. We are whole again.”

This festival was a historic milestone for the island. After 4 years disconnected by plane from Polynesia, a flight from Air Tahiti Nui was received exclusively for the occasion. “The strongest moment was when the Air Tahiti Nui plane landed. There were many people waiting. When the plane doors opened, there were cheers throughout the airport. When the delegations disembarked, it was very emotional. Personally, I had my mom who also came on the plane, so it was amazing for me. At the airport itself, the dances started, the songs, the Rapa Iti delegation dancing on the airport floor! Very intense moments in emotion. Another very powerful moment was also the first day at Anakena.”

After intense work that has been managed since the delivery of the baton of command in 2019, delegations from Hawaii, Rai’ātea Nui, Tumara’a, Rapa Iti, Ile Des Pins, Noumēa, New Caledonia, Henua ‘Enana, managed to reach Rapa Nui for the festival.
“I have a lot to thank all the people in the community who participated. It would not have been possible without them to achieve a festival of this magnitude; not only Rapa Nui people but also Chilean, Peruvian, and people from various nationalities supported us with accommodations, food, hygiene products, and logistics. We also have to thank private and public institutions such as the Municipality of Rapa Nui, the Corporation of Art and Culture Rapa Nui, and the Regional Government. This was the true ‘Ūmanga. With this, it was shown that there are truly extraordinary people in Rapa Nui and that when we come together, we achieve incredible things. The delegations arrived crying with happiness and left crying with sadness.”
The next edition of the festival will take place in 2025 in New Caledonia, and preparations have already begun. Maima invites all those interested in supporting to contact the Ao Tupuna foundation.
