Bird Festival
“Bird Festival” is the largest traditional festival in the island. In the spring, all the islanders gather on the Orongo volcano and elect their own leader “Bird to worship their own gods.
“Bird” is from a popular myth in the island: In ancient times, the God Make taught the priest religious and ritual objects, that was the sea birds’eggs, and specify two reefs to take sea birds’eggs.
Between August and September each year, when the gulls were flying there, the islanders would be concentrated in the seaside of Orongo. Each tribe elected a player to climb along the sea cliff, and swam to find big eggs on the rock which was two kilometers away from the beach. The first player getting egg would swim immediately back to the island and handed the egg to their own chief who would be the “bird”that year.
This activity stopped a hundred years, but the sacred ritual and colorful make-up performance still remains. In order to satisfy the travelers’s needs, the time changes to February, so that more visitors can witness the strange custom.

During the holidays, the men wear neck garlands, bare to the waist, and the women wear florals, in the feather skirts. They dance beautifully. It is similar to the hula dance in Hawaii. It is the“repertoire” for the tourism activities in Chile.

鸟人节
“鸟人节”是岛上最大的传统节日。每年的春天,全体岛民齐聚奥龙戈火山顶,选举自己的首领“鸟人”,祭拜自己的神明。
“鸟人”出自岛上流传的一个神话:古时候,造物主玛科向岛上的祭司传授宗教仪式和祭神物品—海鸟蛋,并指定海上两个礁屿为取鸟蛋的地方。
每年的八九月,海鸥飞来之时,岛民们就会集中在奥龙戈海边。每个部落推选一名选手顺崖下海,游到两公里外的大礁石上寻找鸟蛋。第一个得到鸟蛋的选手立即游回岛上,将蛋交给自己的酋长,这个酋长便成为当年的“鸟人”。
