Hotu Matu'a
Hotu Matu'a was the legendary first settler and ''ariki mau'' ("supreme chief" or "king") of Easter Island and ancestor of the Rapa Nui People.〔Carlos Mordo, Easter Island (Willowdale, Ontario: Firefly Books Ltd., 2002)〕 Hotu Matu'a and his two canoe (or one double hulled canoe) colonising party were Polynesians from the now unknown land of Hiva (probably the Marquesas). They landed at Anakena beach and his people spread out across the island, sub-divided it between clans claiming descent from his sons, and lived for more than a thousand years in their isolated island home at the southeastern tip of the Polynesian Triangle.
==History==
Polynesians first came to Rapa Nui (also called Easter Island) sometime between 300 CE and 800 CE. These are the common elements of oral history that have been extracted from island legends. Linguistic, DNA and Pollen analysis all point to a Polynesian first settlement of the island at that time, but it is unlikely that other details can be verified.〔(Summary of Thomas S. Barthel's version of Hotu Matu'a's arrival to Easter Island ).〕 During this era the Polynesians were colonising islands across a vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. ''Hotu Matuʻa'' led his people from Hiva; linguistic analysis comparing Rapanui to other Polynesian languages suggests this was the Marquesas Islands.
