Question

Are thier people native still living on easter island? and what about christmas island?

Answer 1

You are funny!! Easter Island peoples have interbreed and are mostly modern now... As for the rest of the question... I leave it to you!

Answer 2

Easter Island:

Has "a population of 3,791 (2002 census), 3,304 of which live in the capital of Hanga Roa...  Until the 1960s, the surviving Rapanui descendants were forced to live in a settlement at the outskirts of Hanga Roa because the island was rented to a Scottish sheep company. Since being given Chilean citizenship in 1966, the islanders have re-embraced their ancient culture, or what could be reconstructed of it. A yearly cultural festival, the Tapati, celebrates native pastimes."

Christmas Island:

As of 2006, the estimated population is 1,493. (The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports a population of 1,508 as of the 2001 Census.) The ethnic composition is 70% Chinese, 20% European and 10% Malay. Religions practised on Christmas Island include Buddhism 68%, Christianity 18%, Islam 10% and others 4%. English is the official language, but Chinese and Malay are also spoken.

So yes for easter, where as Christmas seems to have been affected by a large (per capita) immigration rate due to it being a part of Australia.  This has seen the original "native" population being highly diluted if it even exists?

Answer 3

last poster was quite harsh and not very professional in answering. the people on easter island are natives to that island and a few of them have recalled the rongo rongo script-chant that was used centuries earlier. I do not know much about christmas island.
