Great to see these #manawahine presenting and smashing it in the q&a section 💅🏽🤙🏽✊🏽 #PACHIST18
If historians don't understand that Pacific histories are connected and most relevant to our genealogies, they are naive. @DamonSalesa #pha18 #pachist18
The fineness of the mats in the Royal Academy (Oceania exhibition), would tempt any aspiring Tongan or Samoan to a life of crime - LOL @DamonSalesa #pha2018 #PACHIST18

Dear Dr @DominicSelwood, pity you did not get your facts right:
1) The Moai was not a "gift" from islanders to the British. No historical evidence of that;
2) All historians agree about the grim conditions of the islanders: famine & illnesses had decimated the population.
