"If the British had gotten their hands on the Declaration/Bill of Rights/Constitution in 1812 and taken them back to England to put in the Museum you'd probably want them delivered back to the U.S. government wouldn't you?"

Well if there were like what How many statues are on Easter Island 50, more?
So no if there were 50 Declaration/Bill of Rights/Constitution documents that were mostly the same I would not care that much about getting number 51 back.

Remember that the digging up and even bringing them back to England helped the Easter Island economy, heck is that the only source of income, tourism I think?
People saw that stuff in a museum and said lets go check that place out.

I bet the Inca people want their gold back too, that stuff must have been lots of religious stuff too.

Damn it was not right but that's what people did back then.
Remember the people that did not fight or plunder way back when, No you don't because most of them are dead.

I really don't know enough about the history involved here so what do I know.
Tiki to me is not really about Easter Island as much as it is about Trader Vic's, Don Beach, Kahiki ect....
Fake Americanization of tiki in a restaurant with Booze and tiki mugs.

Just the opinion of one person, what do I know.
Good luck on your quest people of Easter Island.
