"Rapanui culture, famous world-over for its stone statues and platforms, made another extraordinary achievement – it developed its own writing system, the rongorongo script. This is the only pre-contact writing attested in the entire Polynesia. With about two dozens of objects bearing rongorongo glyphs known today, the corpus of Rapanui texts is very small. Thus, despite a considerable scientific attention enjoyed by this script since its discovery in the late 19th century, no definitive translation of rongorongo tablets was achieved yet.This book makes an attempt to improve documentation of rongorongo, placing the main emphasis on graphical and physical aspects of the problem. Shapes and surface features of the wooden objects themselves were analyzed, hoping to extract every detail that may possibly explain how these tablets were carved and used. According to the results of iconographic analysis, rongorongo signs are deeply rooted in the Rapanui aesthetics, representing the natural world surrounding the islanders and objects of their material culture. This result points to the local development of the script without any external influence. Paleographic analysis revealed many scribal corrections, abbreviations, truncation of repetitive passages, and even a possible margin note. All these details are completely natural and expected to appear in written documents, stating boldly that rongorongo indeed represents writing.The updated documentation offers a better look on the corpus, clearly showing that rongorongo phenomenon has far major depth and quality than it was previously thought. Much work remains to be done before the tablets could be actually read, but these temporary difficulties only multiply future joy of the day when the messages of the ancient Rapanui scribes will become finally understandable after over a century of silence." /

Two dozen or so wooden tablets discovered on Easter Island late in the nineteenth century are all that remain of rongorongo--a series of glyphs thought to be the writing system of the island's lost people. In Words Out of Wood, M. de Laat explores the construction and use of these enigmatic figures and makes a compelling case that rongorongo, despite its resistance to decipherment, constitutes nothing less than a fully developed script. Reproduced here in clear, full-page illustrations, the glyphs stand alongside the great moai statues as lasting monuments of the inventiveness and artistry of the remote Pacific island.

After successfully deciphering the Rongorongo script of Easter Island, Steven Roger Fischer gained a unique place in the pantheon of glyphbreakers: he is the only person to have deciphered not one but two ancient scripts. Both of these scripts yield clues of great historical importance. Fischers previous decipherment, of a Cretan artefact called the Phaistos Disk, provided the key to the ancient Minoan language and showed it to be closely related to Mycenaean Greek. Fischer's decipherment of Rongorongo shows that it was not merely a mnemonic device for recalling memorised texts, but was actually read and used for creative composition. This is the exciting story of these two decipherments, by the man who now must rank as the greatest glyphbreaker of all time.

This eloquent and detailed Taranki history has grown out of research for the Ngati Ruanui tribal treaty claim against the New Zealand Crown. From pre-Hawaiki times it follows the Aotea canoe from Ranigatea in the Pacific to New Zealand Aotearoa and the settlement of Turi and his people at Patea. The battles and alliances over the centuries and the rich and varied Ngati Ruanui history form the narrative background for the arrival of Pakeha from Europe and the devastation and land confiscations that followed. The story of the successful negotiation of the Ngati Ruanui treaty settlement and the creation of Te Rananga o Ngati Ruanui is told here for the first time. The central theme of this important book is the unwavering determination of the Ngati Ruanui tribe to hold on to their land and their autonomy.

Easter Island (or Rapa Nui) has long captivated travellers and explorers since it was first encountered by European voyagers in 1722. The island’s colossal stone carvings (moai) have been the primary attraction, yet these have overshadowed the broader culture of the Rapanui people. This significant edited collection brings together thirteen specialists from eight countries in a series of studies that address the pre-history, history, contemporary society and popular culture of Easter Island. Consideration is given to both the Rapanui and western cultures with topics covered including archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, tourism, literature, comic books and music. This is a multidisciplinary book with subjects ranging from fact to fiction and from Thor Heyerdahl and Katherine Routledge to Indiana Jones and Lara Croft.

Many, many years ago, the flying spirit, Hoa Manu, appeared in a dream to the king of Hiva and told him to lead his people to a new land. The king sent seven explorers to find this small island, and they named it Rapa Nui. Hundreds of years later, Hoa Manu returns to Rapa Nui, also called Easter Island, but the island is not like it once was. All the wondrous Toromiro trees have disappeared. With the help of the spirits of the seven explorers, Hao Manu searches for her beloved trees with the bright yellow flowers. These trees once held the history of Easter Island, written in rongorongo, but where have they gone? Rongo Rongo & the Last Toromiro Tree teaches an important lesson about history and conservation. The legends of Easter Island and rongorongo continue to stump historians and linguistic experts to this day. Maybe, by looking with fresh eyes, you can help solve the mystery.
