Rapa Nui is the name for the indigenous people of Easter Island, a small volcanic island located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. The Rapa Nui people had a complex religious system that included worship of various gods.
The Rapa Nui god of fertility was called Make-Make. He was believed to be the creator of humanity and the primary source of fertility for the island's plants and animals. Make-Make was often depicted in art and sculpture as a squat, muscular figure with strong arms and a large head.
The Rapa Nui people would honor Make-Make through various rituals and ceremonies, including chants, dances, and offerings of food and drink. They believed that by appeasing Make-Make, they could ensure the continued prosperity and fertility of the island.
The worship of Make-Make and other Rapa Nui gods declined with the arrival of European explorers and the spread of Christianity. However, the legacy of these beliefs can still be seen in the many impressive ancient structures and sculptures that remain on Easter Island today.
