  1. Easter Island belongs to the South American nation of Chile.

    Easter Island,  

    Spanish name - Isla de Pascua

    Polynesian name - Rapa Nui

    The entire island is now a national park.


  2. It is a Polynesian island related to Chile in South America, a lot of the statues there are "owned" and maintained by the residents and their government/managers - - part of WIKIPEDIA article relates this :

    Easter Island shares with Juan Fernández Islands the sui generis constitutional status of special territory of Chile, granted in 2007. A special charter for the island is currently being discussed, therefore it continues to be considered a province of the Valparaíso Region, containing a single commune. Both the province and the commune are called "Easter Island" and encompass the whole island.

    Easter Island (Rapa Nui in the Rapa Nui language, Isla de Pascua in Spanish language), is a Polynesian island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian triangle. The island is a special territory of Chile. Easter Island is famous for its monumental statues, called moai, created by the Rapanui people. It is a world heritage site with much of the island protected within the Rapa Nui National Park.
