#OTD On 1 August 2010 Indigenous Polynesian #RapaNui people occupied the development site of the Hangaroa Eco Village & Spa hotel on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), a Chilean colony.
The land the development was on was their property, which was stolen by deception off their grandmother, who was illiterate, and then handed over illegally under the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet.https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7699/hangaroa-hotel-occupation
