Today the Rapanui are being threatened with extinction at the hands of Chilean armed forces*

That does seem a little exaggerated and inflammatory, on the other hand South American governments are not always known for their restraint.

I think the real danger is the loss of the Rapanui culture if the whole island gets taken over by Chileans from the mainland. Thanks for the info Tiki-Ray
