Kia Ora koutou katoa! He Máori ahau no te whenua o Aotearoa. He tino miharo ahau no te ahua ritenga o te tikanga rapanui me te reo rapanui hoki i te iwi Máori. Ka pirangi au ki whakahaere he haerenga ki rapanui.---- Hola todos Soy Máori de Nueva Zealanda. Estoy realemente sorprendido con las cosas en común con la cultura y la idioma rapanui y con mi gente Máori. Me gustaria visitar Rapanui para apprendar mucho más de este cultura. yo penso que yo puede sorbeviver en los dos idiomas de Espanol y Rapanui/Máori. Se perece como realemente mi pueblo Maori en Aotearoa - Nueva Zelanda.

I was on Rapa Nui at the same time, and I was very pleased with your photo's. I even see photo's with (ME) in the background. I also see that you met the two german sisters, Marion and Brigot. I had a few beers with them also. I hope you can foreward my e-mail address to them for me. Also, I videotaped the whole parade until my batteries ran out. If you would like a copy, let me know. Thanks, Dennis
