Over the past decade or so, researchers have found genetic evidence for contact between people in eastern Polynesia and those in coastal Peru and Colombia. Now archeologists studying the oldest settlement on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) have found physical evidence that islanders traveled to South America at least once and returned with food crops not known in Polynesia.

The indigenous people of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) have always said that their rongorongo writing was very old, but were generally not believed until quite recently. Researchers have now dated one rongorongo text to 200 years before the island had any contact with Europeans.

ColossalDetailed Portraits of Tahiti's Third Gender by Kehinde Wiley Challenge Gauguin's Problematic Depictions — ColossalAmerican artist Kehinde Wiley (previously) has unveiled a new series of paintings of Tahiti’s Māhū community, a group of Polynesians classified as a third gender between male and female. Presented at Galerie Templon in Paris, the colorful portrait series challenges a collection of 20th-century works by Paul Gauguin, removing elements that Wiley considers problematic and exploitative side effects of colonialism. Wiley takes issues with Gauguin’s depictions of the Māhū for being unrealistic fantasies that sexually objectify the community for the sake of his White audience back home. More
