Hanau Epe (Rapa Nui)
The Hanau epe (also, hanau eepe: supposed to mean "Long-ears") were a semi-legendary people who are said to have lived in Easter Island, where they came into conflict with another people known as the Hanau momoko or "short-ears". A decisive battle occurred which led to the defeat and extermination of the Hanau epe. According to the legend, these events are supposed to have happened at some point between the 16th and 18th centuries, probably in the late 17th century.
There is much speculation about the identity of the vanished Hanau Epe, as the victorious "Hanau Momoko" is usually thought to be a Polynesian survivor. Various theories have been put forward, but the most notable is Tor Heyerdahl's claim that they were ancient immigrants from Peru, the original inhabitants of the island, and the creators of the famous stela.
