Rapa Nui Community Governance refers to the systems of local self-government exercised by the Rapa Nui people on Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Grounded in ancestral authority structures, community assemblies, and collective stewardship of land and cultural heritage, these governance practices seek to maintain autonomy over territory, culture, and social life. Despite incorporation into the Chilean state, Rapa Nui governance represents a living process of cultural sovereignty, commons management, and radical democracy in an insular context.
