Anakena Manutomatoma, told the Guardian. “Once eyes are added to the statues, an energy is breathed into the moai and they become the living embodiment of ancestors whose role is to protect us.”

Coming from a people whose ancestors were cannibals who is the statue saving the people from, themselves?

“The large-scale deforestation led to soil erosion and over a span of several centuries, the island's ability to support wildlife and farming was compromised. People began to starve. In a last ditch effort at survival, they became cannibals.”

Next our tiki mugs will be deemed cultural appropriation.
So if “The Greatest Generation includes those born roughly between 1900 and the early 1920s” will this be known as the bit*h and moan generation one day.
