Which people created the famous Moai statues on Easter Island?
Correct!
The monumental Moai were created by the Polynesian people of Rapa Nui, now Easter Island. Between about the 10th and 16th centuries, the society built numerous shrines and erected the massive stone figures. Many moai probably represented important ancestors and stood on ceremonial platforms called ahu. Rapa Nui has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995.
